Frozenboost style water-air intercoolers, any good?

[RT40Corona4AGTE]

laminova will shit all over frozenboost and pwr, as they are air to air modified to play with water.

more interesting info in there, heaps of interesting info on that site about the coolers...

Yep, agreed. Already read all that though.

Hmmm, where can we get these Laminova cores in or to Australia?

[RT40Corona4AGTE]

I have found a place, once I hear back some news, I will PM you terra.

[TERRA Operative]

Sweet. Thanks.

matt may sell you just the cores if you ask nicely, if not, ebay is a winner for cheap cores

[oldcorollas]

ebay only has a single core oil cooler for US$900?
what are the cores (and their surrounding tubes+ end caps) usually worth per pair?

edit, US$174 for a 40cm core only http://www.laminova-online.se/Front/...pid=327&cid=78
endcaps ropughly $50 each? or machine your own?

so for 4 cores, abotu $900 plus the tubes they go in and machining, plus TIG it all up?

[love ke70]

when matt was getting his off ebay they were paying around 50 a tube, aluminium scaffold pipe is the exact correct size to make an outside tube apparently, and sometimes they have to just machine a touch out of them, due to the tolerances, and he got his own end caps made up i believe

[oldcorollas]

i wonder why laminova sells them for nearly 1/4 the retail price on ebay?
edit: ahh i remember that,, was through a third party and then they realised their listing mistake? or was a part used on some production car and listed as a spare part..... i can't remember that far back

ahh, the LS9 intercooler cores, listed for an incorrect price through GMpartsdirect maybe memory isn7t that bad after all....

you:d want that outer tube to have less clearance than the distance between fins, otherwise there's no point...


edit: where can you get them for $50 a tube now? (cos i'd buy 4 or 8 straight up!)

just awaiting freight quote for some of them (I am going to be using 4 I think).

[RT40Corona4AGTE]

but dont clean the blokes out, I want some too, LOL

[RT40Corona4AGTE]

just gotta work out a good design for mine now, unless I chop up my custom plenum and incorporate them into it. hmm.....dunno really..... would prefer to have it as a seperate unit.

[oldcorollas]

are they copies or the chevy ones?

weird that ebay didnt find them when searching for "laminova" before

hmm, any bulk discounts? toymods GB?

[RT40Corona4AGTE]

originals apparently, you can look them up on the laminova web site and the dimesions, etc match up to a part number too. sounds like the goods to me. I am grabbing 4 of them, just waiting on a reply email regarding freight.

[TERRA Operative]

I'm definitely in for two of them for the 4AGZE if we do a group buy.

[RT40Corona4AGTE]

well i can hold off a bit and we can grab a few if u like? i havent had a reply for freight yet for 4 units, but once I hear back I can ask them for more? might get a bit of a deal or something? who knows?
