Ray Posted June 9, 2001 Share Posted June 9, 2001 looks really good, did you buy the core and do the rest yourself???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted June 9, 2001 Author Share Posted June 9, 2001 yes, I bought the cores for about $100 per core and then fab'd the tanks myself and had it all welded. Hey it is more than just a piece of metal, it is an expression of art! ya right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 9, 2001 Share Posted June 9, 2001 Really nice. I see you did the end tank pieces with a press brake (versus slip rolls) they look great. Very nice work. Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pparaska Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 That looks great! So at 25 psi inlet, you'll have, what, about a 1/10 psi pressure drop, and be 10 degrees above ambient ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 22, 2001 Share Posted June 22, 2001 James, i noticed that you have 3" inlet are you going to keep that 3" to the engine and i also noticed you have inlet and outlet on the same side, where is your air filter going to go? are you going to be placing any ducts to direction the air into the intercooler?

240Z Turbo Posted June 23, 2001 Author Share Posted June 23, 2001 Chase, the inlet is 2.5" and the outlet is 3". My TB is a 70mm unit and the inlet is approximately 3" No reason to run 2.5" pipe to a 3" opening on a TB. I am only interested in all out flow and because of my stall I skip all the low end BS. The intercooler will sit front and center so no ducting is needed. I will place a 3" lip around the core itself to isolate all air coming into the core so it cannot escape. It is said to improve the effeciency about 5%. Because I run the inlet tube through the wall of the engine compartment, I have extra room to run the filter up front as I did on my old setup.
