Re-read what I said.

Most important function of an intercooler is heat exchange.







Last time I checked, there was no such thing as a "100% efficient" intercooler, which you describe.





Then just claim you don't know what you're doing - don't claim your experience / experiment is the perfect solution for everyone.





If the stock IC was "good enough", then why bother replacing it? Going with a front mount implies you're looking for something better. Ergo, the previous intercooler was not good enoguh for you needs.





Ah, ok...I get it. You have a great disdain of large manufacturers who make "petty" claims of their (superior) performance...





Sure, all valid, factual data is welcome.

Holy jesus Ted. You just keep on coming dont you?



Temps were in the low 70's after it was all said and done.



When did I not say heat exchange was important?



Hey. Ted. Clean out them ears buddy. I said it cools ALMOST as MUCH AS POSSIBLE. As is ALMOST 100%. Never did I say that it was 100%. Geez. For a guy who spends so much of his life on the internet, you sure do have some reading comprehension problems.



Lemme check if I said it was perfect for everyone...

Oh! Look at that! I didnt!

There you go again. Putting words in other peoples mouths. Why dont we just make a whole forum just for you? You talk enough for everyone else you could just make up your own people and you could all sit and argue about what the millionth decimal of Pi is, because god knows its really THAT important https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif



I said the stock IC was good for what it is when using an HT-18 Ted. Did you see that part? ...Why even bother asking. You probably didnt.

Ah well. I upgraded to a 60-1 so I upgraded my IC. Anything else that needs clarifying? ( Rhetorical question Ted. Dont bother answering. We all already know the answer. )



Yeah Ted. Your psychoanalysis is right on. I just hate those big companies. In fact, I started a local group whose main goal is to bring corporate giants to their knees. That must be why Ive sent a lot of my money to Haltech, RacingBeat, KYB, Eibach, TEIN, Apex'i, BFGoodrich, Falken, Advan, Mobil1, and GReddy ( Just to name a few ). Yeah...I hate em all.



All the money in the world couldnt buy you a clue Ted.

so does anyone actually have any #'s to compare the ebay intercooler to a "real" intercooler?

i like intercoolers they make car go fast.

well i will have something for you guys in a couple of weeks. i'm going to k.d. to have the final tuning done and i'm gonna go for 22psi on pump gas. skip says if the intake temps stay good we'll go with the 22lbs if not we'll keep it at 20lbs.

i'll see if he can give me the temp readings you're looking for when its being done.



also like jspec said it was just an opinion. i bought the intercooler myself and didn't get upset at all with what was said. opinions are like assholes... everybody has one. lol lol

I don't get why people jump on Ted's case just because he expresses his opinion. Cheers, you're right, this ISN't rx7club.com, and here we don't bash someone who states his/her opinion.



Quite frankly, Ted's absolutly right, you get what you pay for. This doesn't mean that it's a shitty IC, not at all. It could mean a crap load of things, but above all, it could mean that it's inferior to the ones made by Spearco, Trust, HKS, etc.



Get off the man's case, or get back to the club. Sorry I gotta use you as an example Cheers, but you started this **** with him first, this is just a consequence to a bad way of handling a debate.

ted does piss people off a lot. But i've learned to just ignore him. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png

Teds right, you get what you pay for. But as you can see, bieng right isnt always popular.

DuMaurier 7 04-04-2004 08:32 PM

Didn't you ask "how good is this ebay intercooler ?" , someone answers your question and justifies what he said and he is severely attacked......., I just dont get it !!!! , did you want to be told only what you wanted to hear ?? . I for one will be careful before I offer any opinions , critisms or advise.
