We didn't size the cores. Curtis found them on ebay. $49.99 a pop for FOUR cores and they had two sets. I got the first set for the asking price and had to bid a little on the others. Laminova do make highly efficient intercoolers and oil/fluid coolers using these type of cores and they run from $250-USD and $500-USD up for the small and medium sized cores. These are 15" long. It would cost thousands to fully equip a car with Laminovas, but these cores were cheaper than most quality tube and fin oil coolers!
The plan is to run a two stage intercooler with a FMIC after the turbo and several of these at the plenum. You guys can laugh if you want but I've seen a two stage system on a 500 hp Cosworth in the UK and it kept intake temps at AMBIENT. Throw in direct port water/meth injection at the runners and you are looking at an extremely capable system to overcome the problem of the high tropical temperatures normally experienced here. I wouldn't do this with any other air to water system, not even a PWR if it was a second stage unit but with a Laminova based system I am convinced this will work because the pressure drop is so low.
Ricky, you are right, Alex's stuff turned up a long time ago. Unfortunately some of this stuff with Curtis needs to be here before I can continue. I can't weld in the cage until I have fitted the headliner and the roof antenna. I need the fuel pump before I can put the fuel tank assembly back in and run the fuel lines; and I need the ABS delete lines so I can run the lines in before I stick the block in. There will still be a lot of finishing touches to be done at the end, but with all the chassis preparation done, once this shipment gets here, I can really get the car back together.
I still need that Turbo XS EBC by the way /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
