Re: Intercoolers and Radiators

[Steve Taylor]

Zacs spot on here! I really dont see any point in even putting one of these i/c's in? How well can they really cool?, id say youd be way better off fitting the largest crossflow i/c you can get in there!! As for radiators like zac said the z18et's have both inlet/outlet on the drivers side so youll need a rad. to suit. Ive noticed that the R31/32 skylines have this requirement and are quite thin!!! If one of these will fit between your i/c plumbing it may be worth a shot. Steve. Zac Campbell wrote: Just because schu did it that way doesn't mean it's the best way to do it! He probably did it that way because $300 is cheap for an intercooler that size. I know I don't have a Z18ET but I reckon it would make much more sense to use a cross-flowing intercooler, as you want the air to travel from the turbo to the throttle body via the shotrest possible route, but also through an intercooler! Travelling through an intercooler then going back on itself then back across the engine bay to the throttle body sounds like a waste and a major heatsink. And ask the Z18ET boys, the water inlet/outlets are on the same (drivers) side!! zac  ----- Original Message ----- From: Daniel Kroehn To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2000 9:42 PM Subject: Re: Intercoolers and Radiators  Sorry mate, you got it wrong way round, easy mistake to make.  I checked out the site a few messages back and he had fitted a SUPRA item.  Looks like the go to me.  Here's the address, and look at the intercooler link under MY CAR.http://www.greatcircle.net.au/~schu/ cheers mate Daniel KroehnRECOMMENDING DATRATS, supplying quality DATSUN performance parts.www.Datrats.com.au  ----- Original Message ----- From: Zac Campbell To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2000 8:48 PM Subject: Re: Intercoolers and Radiators  Why do the inlet/outlet on the intercooler need to be on the same side?
