Pics Of Intercooler Internals

This is the inside of my HDi XO1 it cost me $300.

Yep its a big difference from the Euro tube n fin designs. The Euro are so light with laser welded tubes and offset internal fin structure. You don't have to be Einstein to work out a lighter core will transfer thermal energy faster than a heavy cooler. Just like 2 pieces of ally plate the same size but one 2mm thick and the other 8mm thick, heat them up to same temp and the thinner will cool faster. That's all you want to do is transfer thermal energy from the charge air to atmosphere as fast as possible. Heres another pic of a Euro tube n fin. I have a pic of a core from Denso Europe floating around too I will try and find

Kind regards Jon

I think Jon's comments on weight are right and you want the core to be as light as possible for real world use and want the heat going into the outside air, rather than just stored in the intercooler.

Can you post here?

Not everyone uses Facebook....

Have you guys ever sorted the issue of the cooler hanging too low?

Apparently cannot fit original bumper underskirt thing back on (sorry dont knkw what its called) and apparently the whole cooler hangs lower than the bumper.

XR stock height is bad enough and can only imagine how much problems guys with ssl fronts and coilovers would be having, if they use your kit...

PM me if you can cause probably the wrong thread to be discussing this

There's a heap of room above it. You'd think they'd come up with a shorter bracket. If the PW stage 3 and plaz 1000hp can fit with the tray in why can't a smaller cooler.

cant believe they didn't design that better. I have this one (stigmata's) cooler and my bottom black thing goes on. rethink the kit or mount it so it fits up fine.

^^ Haha that pretty much says it all biz. Look at the size of that chit and it fits perfectly.

yes design floors show up very easily , but they can be sorted out .I certainly would hope so .improvements get made all the time to race cars that's why they get faster every year .so

hopefully HDI do the same . with some help HDI could be right up there with the best . they just need a good designer that can see problems before they happen .it just lets the product

down when there are problems like this ,that are so easily fixed before they even release there product to the market . someone gets payed for designing this stuff ,maybe get that guy

to actually fit his own design and see what he thinks of it . he will soon not make the same mistakes again . hire me and I will sort all these problems out in no time lol
