If anyone is interested I am selling two of these intercoolers below on Tradme...

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=556694751

I have been running one of these on my car for over a year now with no problems and purchased a manometer to bench test the flow rates. The values are meaningless to most as points of measurement but to say my design considerably outflows the standard core meaning a much lower pressure drop.

PM me if you want a good deal on these coolers I will give them to Clubsub members for a good discount :~)

Hey Scott...WELL done looks good...............Still WAIC for me though!

thanks mate, I would rather go WAIC for better performance also but there is the simplicity bonus that air to air offers that is a good suit in this application.

Honesty is always respected. You have achieved well............Now to sell! Good luck........Lot to be said for the KISS principle in engineering. :-*

Scottie, are you a wizard

Hahaha! thanks mate.

Tomorrow is a very exciting day for me... It is D-day for a theoretical design that I have been developing for over a year. I am meeting with one of NZ\'s top fluid dynamics engineers.

I have talked to numerous engineers that have dabbled in fluid dynamics but now with this meeting tomorrow and access to computational fluid dynamics I will get either the green or red light on weather or not my design is going to net the gains I am chasing.

If I get the green light then WATCH THIS SPACE as I will go into rapid prototype production/testing and am willing to commit large funds to push my concept into reality with comparison to the best coolers money can currently buy and flow and heat transfer models to demonstrate the gains.

A little nervous as it could all just be in my head! hahaha...

well if so ill just have to fine tune these wee beauties further and market them.

That\'s awesome dude, all the best! So is that theoretical design the same or something separate to that of the one you\'re selling?

On the note of the one you\'re selling, what sort of gains would be expected on a stock vehicle? Or is it more of a supporting mod for increased boost etc.

Small gains on STD but will have dyno results in a few weeks of before and after :)

The design theory is something VERY different.

Scottie?........How is this project?............Just interested as I see you have discovered theory and practical are not always related.......Hence why I had to do 3 prototypes before success.

Hey mate! The coolers worked great.

Been out of the house with an EQC rebuild so not checked this site for a while.

Got excellent gains after a Dyno tune but these cores real benefit is in flowing higher boost pressures. Negligible gains till the boost gets wound up.

Away overseas for a month shortly for work but my theoretical concept has been given the green light from a number of fluid dynamic specialists who are currently working on sme pretty exciting projects. It will take a not unsubstantial amount of money to create a working prototype to prove the concept so will be a project to do once I\'m back. I am very excited about the possibilities! Can\'t disclose anything really about it at this stage save to say that once proven it will be a matter of road testing on different vehicles and measuring real road results before making a decision on future options.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
