BIGGER IS BETTER.. Buy the best you can afford, stay away from older cores as they may be corroded and cracked also they are way less effecient.
For your app you will want 1 with bigger water inlet/ outlet and also do be cheap on the water pump :)
Call me if you need more info :)

that pump will definately work out fine, i used a CSI on my motor and it dropped the temp on the big end about 30-40 deg.:yup: no other changes made. the meziere pump should work just as good if not better.

There are a few variables that go into it. I believe most manufacturers rate them in horsepower, a few in cfm. What cooler you use can have an affect on which pump you use. Some cores have a denser fin count on the water side requiring a high powered pump. Some of the newer cores are also smaller in physical size than the older cores.

max airflow 1850cfm.
any ideas?
is there any differance in using a air/air or a water cooled intercooler?
where are you guys hiding the coolers?
(remeber it will still be street driven,so no pass. seat intercooler)
i was thinking since i no longer am going to use the windsheild wipers and going to a pin on hood.i could hide it in there. :dunno: gotta see more driver side mounted setups

Precision Turbo makes a PT2000 which is pretty compact for it's horsepower level and will support roughly 2000 flywheel horse on a turbo car. This unit is often put under the dash of many cars.
