Frozenboost style water-air intercoolers, any good?

[RT40Corona4AGTE]

looking at these ones

http://www.frozenboost.com/product_i...e8df644d12bb9d

just wondering if anyone on here has used them with success on 20+psi projects?

I just dont want to ruin the old school look of my RT40 by slamming an air-air intercooler on the front.

Also looking at the PWR barrel ones as well. Just wanted people's thoughts and any success/horror stories....

I highly recommend their Heat Exchangers. I fitted a 24x12x1 unit and it made a dramatic difference to the effectiveness of my W2A cooler.

ok thats a good start, thanks old_mr2.

anyone had any experience with their bosch cobra water pumps and/or more specifically, their barrel style w2a intercoolers?

[Roundy]

I have a bosch pump on my GT4 for the W/A.

Not one of them, but the pump looks the same to me.

I have had no issues with that pump for the 2-3 years i have had it on there.

By comparison, i had endless issues with another brand of pump, went through 3 of them.

If these are the same kits and parts on ebay, then it's the same stuff I'm looking at buying for my GZE build.

i was looking into a FB cooler for my RS-Turbo Subaru a couple years ago. From what i recall, and i did a heap of research at the time, they are considered a fairly decent bit of kit, and definitely worth the money. Just as i was about to purchase one i decided to sell the car and move on. If i'd have kept the car i would have definitely purchased one.

give it a shot 'cause 1) they're cheap, and 2) someone needs to so we can get a review on it :-)

brendan is using a frozenboost intercooler and heat exchanger, not the barrel type though, seems to work ok on his car. i have a frozenboost heat exchanger with an ST205 core on mine, i'll let you know how it works once it's running

[thechuckster]

laminova cooler in your budget?

[Supra967]

I bought two barrels and a 24x12x1 exchanger but not running yet so can't say anymore than they look the goods and I got all three shipped for about the same price as a single PWR barrel. Got an inline filler for my rad as well but that seems a bit flimsy, should work okay though.

I didn't go with the pump cause from memory there were better ones avaible if you look outside the automotive world.

Details on better pumps? I'm looking at building a W2A setup soon.

[Supra967]

Better might not be the right word.... when I was looking it was mainly comparing flow rate. Depends how you want to set it up.

There were some chinese ebay jobs that flow more but I was put onto marine bilge pumps. I was going to mount two of these in tank in the boot. Example:

Very compact and high flow but can't handle much/any pressure loss. Flow graph for the smallest pump here:

I was going to get a small one and set the system up in my back yard to see how much it could flow. Plenty of options in the boating/caravaning world for other pumps too, just got to look around.

laminova cooler in your budget?

i have read about these, where can they be bought from? or where can i buy the cores to make my own?

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