KiD-ViD Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 ok quick question. which would be better at cooling? One is long but has a shorter core, the other is short but has a longer core. Both are top-down flowing. Also I assume since the one is so long it would have more effect on "lag", would it be significant? I do like the design of the longer one alot better than the shorter one though. I would do some research and try to figure it out but I let a friend borrow my copy of maximum boost. thanks guys. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2480016252&category=33742 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2480181206&category=33742 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunan Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 As stated in Max Boost the majority of your heat trans is done in the first few inches of the cooler, therefor the one with more rows coming off the tank makes the shorter coolers more efficient. I would by the first one for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 The end tanks on the first one you posted are FAR superior... Don't even bother with #2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiD-ViD Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 thanks alot guys. I knew the design was way better but I dident know how big of a difference it made. Also thanks for telling me it all happens in the first few inches, thats just the info I was looking for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest De Schmaydee Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 ...except the first one looks like a bar & plate ic and the other is tube...i always heard the "tube" style transfers much more heat (more efficient)... the bar and plate flows better (but is less efficient) ....s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spork Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 um...the first one seems pretty darn long...will it fit in your car with pipes on the end? James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
