Reverse Flow Intercooler

[honkie]

Hey guys,

Im looking for bar & plate reverse flow intercooler, does anyone know any? I've been looking around but i cant seem to find any at all. So far i only found the ARC one but its tube & fin. The ones from cooling pro its not too good from what i've heard.

Thanks for the help.

by reverse flow do you mean one that both outlets are on the same end?

[W0rp3D]

I think you mean return flow, why do you need bar and plate?

I have a blitz one, was one in the for sale section a few months ago at a reasonable price.

If your aiming for more than about 250rwkw the cooling pro should be alright, i think most of the drama's have been with mounting, there are threads around that show you how to fix the problem.

Hey,

How u going? I want a bar & plate because i dont want it to be damaged that easily because i have a few mates intercoolers are damaged by rocks and stuff like that. I know know tube & fin has better flow but it also can over heat as well so i prefer on getting a bar & plate. Your blitz one is it a return flow? Which type is it?

Plus the piping looks stock in the engine bay and that is what i want.

cheers.

If you want the standard looking piping in the engine bay then return flow is what you want, mine is a return flow and is a tube and fin i think, i also have a hks tube and fin that i ripped the bottom plate off on a speed hump, it did not damage any of the tubes, to get a rock to go through a tube it would have to be a good sized rock.

The Apexi "Hybrid" fmic for 180sx/rb20 is a return air feed and is half bar*plate and half tube*fin

quite a unique fmic, and good for up to 250kw Id suggest

ebay japan

edit: pic is the 1st go at it, now use 4ply thermalflex, better routing of pipes with lipped edge so no blow-offs, ever.

my tuner fixed it all up N.C. woot

[wasnt me]

here is a pic of the blitz return flow cooler......

good for 300+ rwkw...

price is around $1200...

I seen one on ebay once.

[TTT]

what gave you the impression that tube and fin would cause overheating..

it's the other way around..

BAR and PLATE coolers don't let as much air through them to the radiator behind, which would cause over heating.

anyway, if you want a really budget one..

try mine..

haha why do you care about stock looking intercooler piping?

if you're in a position where a cop is looking under the bonnet of your car, you're f**ked.

trust type M kits are bar and plate, and mount well onto the car.

but you don't get retarded 'return' flow piping

If you average joe plod pulls you over and cant pick the usual defects under the bonnet there is a good chance he will give up.

"retarded"?

You mean the piping that saves you from having cut a big ugly hole in your inner gaurd, the same whole that will get you a defect on a S2 33 and newer due to air bags?

[gotRICE?]

^^ X2!

Id like to see a list of reasons why the Blitz is retarded. Seems to me like its the ideal front mount for stock R33's.

[sneki81]

what front mounts can you use in a s2 that isnt a defect problem???

[R-SPEC]

try getting a rwc with a 3" hole cut in your engine bay...

ive got a trust return flow front mount.

havent seen the same kit on another car yet. looks extra stealthy coz the tanks are on the top/botton so the lines run vertically rather than horizontally so it just looks like a radiater to the untrained eye

[wasnt me]

i took my car for a full inspection last week to get off defect. still had the blitz front mount on it.

the guy doing the inspection said it was the neatest front mount he had seen.......

i asked him how they went with the type m types. he said if its too close to the chasis rail

there is no way they would let it get through......

HAHAHAHAHAHA im a trust dealer and can tell you the TYPE M kits dont work as well as the blitz return flow LM kits, got back to back dyno tests to prove it and air intake temp logs to back it up.

[sneki81]

are there any front mounts that can go on s2 that you wont get defected for??

You need one of these 'Turn-flow' kits, these are basically a intercooler that use the piping to line up with stock piping route.

Do a search, been covered heaps on this topic.

ARC, Blitz, Trust, Apexi (once seen HKS core but hard to come by) and JJR all offer 'turn-flow' intercoolers (if you want local options, look into AVO).
