Or the MKV conversion? :drinking:

I cant control 250BHP :grin:
I just enjoy reading about what you guys have to go through to get one bolted on. :happy2:

What does the APR 'cooler flow in terms of g/s?
The THS one had some data logging done on it by DomT off here and it manages to flow over 480g/s. Using the rough yardstick of dividing by 0.8 to get the handling capabiltity it roughly equates to 600bhp. :smiley:

Our flow testing is measured in CFM and is only indicative of the amount of air that will be able to pass through the inlet of the core and then through the outlet of the core and has no bearing on its ability to effectively cool such CFM. It merely relays that a certain volume of air can pass through the core without restriction.
The size of the core, efficiency of the core and overall air distribution AS WELL AS flow ability determine its effectiveness and worth.
I am sure I can dig up the flow we measured as this was part of our calculation to determine 600hp of capability but I'm not sure what flow data alone proves, if anything when attempting to compare 2 intercoolers of similar size that both obviously have the ability to flow enough cfm without obstruction to support 600hp. We also have some real world data to present:
