[Supras] Low cost intercooler + injector question

[Dm19959@aol.com]

While frontal surface area of the intercooler is important so is the  overall 
design (bar & plate for the aftermarket intercooler) and the core  thickness 
(3 1/2 inches for the aftermarket).

Dear  Khalid:

The core area appears to be quite a bit less than  that of the stock 
intercooler (the core is only six inches high), and size of  the compresssed air 
passages between the tanks seems larger.  I could be  wrong, but I'd suspect the 
temperature drop to not be as good as the stock  intercooler despite the greater 
pressure drop.  In heat transfer,  especially air to air, surface area is the 
key word.  An intercooler that  is larger and/or front mounted or ducted 
would appear better.   

Just a question on your 550cc injectors:  Which  ones did you use?  Arelene 
Lanman, a respected list member uses Greddy  although they do not have the 
sheet metal diffuser (?) that the stock  injectors do.  The only company offering 
injectors with the diffuser  seems to be Venom.

Thanks, and good luck.
