Guest Guests Posted 07/03/05 06:49 AM Share Posted 07/03/05 06:49 AM ok smarty pants the tube and fin coolers traditionally flow more air than bar and plate and seem to be less restrictive, bar and plate however traditionally cool much more efectively and as such if you have one capable of the desired air flow then bar and plate would be my choice!better?hey hows jbs boost going?seriously try a better solenoid!!!

I don't think they are specific to any particular car, rather just a generic model that might require some modification to fit. Anyoine know if these are any good? Price is right but you possibly get what you pay for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price is right but you possibly get what you pay for...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>judging by the monza blow off next to it it seems to me to be the monza cooler from autotecnica and I can suply these for the same but the cooler is a tube and fin and is chineese not to mention the tanks need reversal on one side and the boost preasure sensor needs a boss welded in too!then you will either need the pluming kit from me or get a custom set made!they are the chineese copy's of the hybrid copy of the coolers from japan!you can actually get chineese bar and plate coolers that look identical too!!!

Does it run without flattening the battery crank it for 20mins to start now?Back on topicMy comment was one primarily of interest. I personally know of around 15 different designs of bar/plate core, and around 10 - 12 tube/fin core. Some bar/plate cores are less cooling efficient than highly turbulated tube/fin cores, and vice versa. I wondered how you drew the conclusion. That is all.Now back in your box like a good Wog.

Will the cooler do the job? or is it more for our rice friends whom require show rather than go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawsy Wanabe mechanical engineer Donating Members 960 Member For: 20y 5m 14d Gender: Male Location: At the computer, obviously..... Posted 07/03/05 11:22 AM Share Posted 07/03/05 11:22 AM From what I heard, and from a theoretical standpoint, if you could do a tube and fin right (this costs an insane amount of money to do right apparently) it should be the most efficient of the 2 designs. In theory, is should be much more efficient at dispersing heat, giving greater surface area and better inside and outside flow characteristics.....Its just allot more expensive to get right as there is allot more micromanagement........ Don't shoot the messenger...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
