600x300x76mm INTERCOOLER
600x300x76mm intercooler I ordered it for my self with piping but they never had stock so I just got the cooler. I have ordered another complete kit for myself will be here by end year so now got a spare cooler. I paid 250USD which is R1830.63. If you give me what I paid for it you can have it.
How many tubes have yours got and how do I work out how efficiant mine is, what is the presise amount of this and that and size to show me how efficient mine is?
It would be interesting to be able to know these differenses and what it means at the end of the day sothat you know what to buy and what not.

measure intake temp and exit temp, that will give you the cooling efficency. Then messure the pressure drop.

Mine to are made from aluminium and and and...I wanna ask you this, you nor me had the opertunity to measure these intercoolers in application,
Answer, you can't, till it is fisically tested in the same invironment same temp same application and everything, you can not say which is better if both quote the same iffiancy, the same material and size.
So we as a buyer are then screwed cause you don't know, I think you buy what is availeble and what you can afford.
, I have an intercooler saying presisely what yours is saying so, how can I know before I buy a cooler witch one is more efficiant, they are the same size they quote the same, they look the same but the pricing is different.measure intake temp and exit temp, that will give you the cooling efficency. Then messure the pressure drop

Ja that is true, But the way I see it is there is no way an intercooler of R1500 can do the same job as a HKS job at R5000 or so. I would rather buy from a reputable dealer, REZLO, and pay a bit more because you are getting more.
The major difference will be in the design of the cooler itself, I.E. the intake ports should be long with smooth bends. An intercooler that you simply bolt the pipes onto the side tanks cannot be very efficent as you the designers would never know what derection the air was coming from.

I beg to differ, and resellers like Rezlo will also be able to tell you this... HKS and them don't really make these things them selfs but there is a factory there somewhere in Japan that makes these stuff in huge amounts... They provide HKS with these coolers and the confirm to a certain spec... The rest of the stuff "Same thing, same spec" get's sold under another brand for 1/3rd of the price...Gary57 wrote:Ja that is true, But the way I see it is there is no way an intercooler of R1500 can do the same job as a HKS job at R5000 or so.

In my years of buying performance parts I've seen this over and over and over...
You just have to make sure you buy a quality thing, if you do buy a no name brand thing some where...
