Intercooler Flow Direction?

[Espo]

I recently purchased a second hand Avo cooler with the entry/exit on the same side of the cooler.

Could anyone please tell me if the cooler needs to flow either direction to perform at its best.

i,e in throigh the top out through the bottom or vice, versa.

Thanks for any help.

Most coolers it doesn't matter but occasionally it does.

Can you post a pic of it?

Thermal properties being what the are the top of the intercooler would be hotter than the bottom, so in at the top and out bottom.

This is a pic of it.

I had to use some of my original piping and didn't think of the directional issue until I had kind of worked it out.

It's running and the out side is definately cooler but wanted to double check. In case it is not performing at it's optimium.

cheers

Whoa there nellie!!!!!!!

I don't think the direction of the flow is going to be an issue.

Hey Espo.That is not a great intercooler .I have a Trust one that uses the original layout of pipes so the engine bay looks standard. Did you get that one for free or something? be very careful withit.

I agree I'm not very happy with the pipe work as it was supposed to be a r33 gtst avo stage 2 direct bolt on kit.

I wish I could say it was free.

But I need to get the car on the rd so I can get to work and source a more direct set up.

hey kimbod - whre did you get your intercooler kit? is the brand a Trust?

thanks

that doesn't look too bad. when you said entry and exit on the same side, i thought you meant it was coming from the same end tank.

the air is flowing from one end tank to the other .. i don't see it as too much of an issue.. .but thats only my amateur opinion.

Hi 2G's. I got it from Justjap. it was in a half cut. It is a trust . I had to grind some of the metal bumper bar away so it would fit in. The thing I like about it is it looks like a standard series1 from the outside and in the engine bay
