VR4 intercooler

[Zahos]

What do people know about these intercoolers in terms of flow and their ability to dissapate heat?

I've just bought one and its not as big as I thought it would be.

It measures up to be about 580mm long (including end tanks - haven't measured the core myself as yet), 210mm high and 70mm thick.

I've tried numerous searches on google, but I haven't really come up with anything yet.....

its a cood cooler probably good for around 400 hp may be a bit more. my cooler is core only 500 x 280 x 76 and thats a stock apexi size yours should be fine unless of course you are planning on putting a huge turbo on your car.

Yeah, I've read that they flow well, but wen I saw the size of it I was a little dissapoited. Searching on the net though I've found that a few ppl have used these coolers and are pumpng out more power than I plan on getting ultimately, so that's reassuring! I'm not planning on a bigger turbo, but will probably hi-flow my turbo when it dies...

The inlet and outlet diameter's are small, aout 2 inches from the looks of it. I'll have to get them cut off and get biger pipes welded on.

I got if from http://www.performanceforums.com/

These coolers range from $200 to $600 (usually arond the $300 - $400 mark). I've read quite a few good things about them, but I haven't seen any data to support those comments, which is why I was a little concerned.

BTW meggala, do you know any1 in our area that can do the pipes for me cheap? The only place I can think of is highpoint mufflers...
