You need to consider things like construction - ie bar and plate vs tube and fin etc etc. Cooling vs flow is a fine art/balancing act with IC design. Bigger aint necessarily better in every case.

You'll have to either bend them out of the way, or relocate. Most bend. Edited 06/04/07 05:34 AM by Spruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasnt for the skinny end tanks then I would definately consider it.But that Plazmaman intercooler looks pretty good Edited 06/04/07 08:45 AM by turbotrana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the guys on here run them and have given them a good wrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works very well but I would just go for a 300mm high ( 600 300 75 ) as its not really worth the extra few hundred... and as mentioned earlier the top part of the endtanks might reduce flow anyway...As with many decent sized coolers you need to "adjust" the aircon lines, but that's not hard... and yes, some of the metal abr needs to be trimmed, I cut a 25mm x 10mm section from each end as the lip on the bar isnt totally straight along the width of the bar... trim it up, paint it and you should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
