but if you've been losing h.p. and then get some back ... i'd say we can call that making . samantics ? yep but it is what it is yes?

How would this work on the twincharge setup?? How much more heat would that be producing? Any idea yet?

RMW have you got any internal shots of the cooler?? also how many cores are you running?? i have heard some very good things about this type of heat exchange.

off topic, but could you run one. or several of these cores at the front of the car instead of a rad?? pos for engine coolant on cars with very little frontal area??

Chris.

we are running 2 of the long cores
we have been running these on Danny's 268whp MINI on the track without heat soaking it




as long as you had a heat exchanger I don't know why you couldn't

RMW, from the pics above, is there any way you coul fit a third or even forth core in there?? its looks like there is a blank section in the middle.
alsi i know the cores are effective but could they cause and restriction?? they look atlot denser than normal a2w cores.

Cheers

Chris.

this case is designed for 2 cores, you can make 3 core ones or 4 core ones

the pressure drop is less across these cores than others we have tested
lots of surface area there, why do you think it works so good?

Personally I thought the same thing looking at them
but when you realise how much surface area is on the core then it all starts to make sense. Our manufacturer makes them so you can get them made in different scenarios.
