Better heat exchanger
Hi,
I'm working on a twin screw installation of Andy's kits that's already on a car to clean it up and improve where I can. One of the first things I saw was the heat exchanger that sits in front of the radiator. I think it is the wrong style of heat exchanger for that use. Undoubtedly it works fine in the forced air flow heater core for which it is designed. The core is too tight for good air flow through with low pressure drop. It blocks the A/C condenser and the engine radiator behind it. I could help it with tight air ducting around it and sealing behind it to the A/C condenser so air can't simply bypass around it. Another solution would be to add a fan to force air through it as it was designed to be used. Instead of adding more stuff like a fan, I'd rather go to a larger, and more open, heat exchanger. Has anyone researched this and found a better style heat exchanger?

Rick,
Please post pics
Louie,
I'll try to snap a few of how we installed mine, I'm not sure if it's the same but it came with my kit

Louie,
I haven't installed my system yet, just compiling data for the last two years and planning a perfect install, no hurry. Tony had a slick idea to mount the intercooler radiator unit before or aft of the wheel in the wheel well area, then cut vents in the liner and use aluminum mesh over it to keep rocks from damaging the exchanger. I like the idea and I will go that route. We both have aviation engineering backgrounds so maybe we just are thinking similarly from education.
I think a few people routed their air cleaner into the area under the headlight recess area, just below it. It looks cleaner and draws cooler air there. I am open to tinkering around with obtaining some plastic / metal tubing parts in the qwest to make a ram air intake too, but I may go with an offshoot duct from the brake ducts to keep the engine compartment less cluttered.

Louie-
Here's the setup DR is using. Looks to be 2 motorcycle radiators. I don't care much for the placement. I plan on moving them up front a bit as I think the condensor is actually heating up the heat exchangers. Unfortunately I won't be able to report on the effect until later this spring.
