Blitz M Intercooler - 2 Layer? 3 Layer?

[abu]

Hey

Purchased an intercooler kit last night from Japan for my R32. Its a BLiTZ M intercooler kit, and the owner in Japan isnt' sure if it was a 2 layer intercooler or 3?

Now, whats the difference in a 2 layer and 3 layer intercoolers?

How can you tell if its a 2 layer or 3 layer?

Searched the forums, but couldn't find anything and had a quick look through google but same, nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Abu

Hahah thanks Richard, but the cooler is on its way here from Japan, so no peaking!

More info on looking inside?

it will become evident when you look in there. if when you look inside there are 2 cores to each tube then it's 2, if there are 3 it's 3 etc etc.

Ah very nice! Thanks Richard.

Just another question, any benefits over a 2 layer to a 3 layer?

I mean its just for a street tuned RB20, hoping for something around 180rwkw+

I am assuming it will not make any difference, but if someone could tell me the pros and cons of a 2 layer & a 3 layer that would be great!

I am just curious for future reference.

Thanks.

I am yet to see an intercooler that has even two cores let alone three.

Radiators come in dual and triple core which is I think what you are thinking of.

I have seen a 3 layer GREDDY intercooler before..

BLiTZ, GREDDY etc advertise there coolers as 2 or 3 layer cores.

Reason I put the thread up was because I wanted to know if this particular cooler came in 2 layer or 3, as I cant see it until it arrives from Japan

Also wasn't sure on the difference between 2 layer and 3, besides the fact that it has an extra layer lol

lol, well if you've seen the 3 layer greddy core before then you know exactly what to look for. same as the greddy one only with 2 cores instead! though to be honest I think the blitz m is probably single core.

LoL yep, I suspected it was something to do with thickness of the core, but after you told me how to check the layers, I checked my mates GREDDY cooler. Suprisingly enough 3 layer.

BLiTZ M single layer!! Nooo

This is what I wanted to get clarified as the previous owner in Japan wasn't sure if it was a 2 layer or a 3 layer!

I hope its not a single, not like it would make a difference but..

I tired searching for BLiTZ M I/C's on google/yahoo to get some specifications, but coudn't manage to source anything.

I'm guessing its a rather old product from BLiTZ that why.

If anyone has has any more information or specifications on the kit please let me know!

Thanks
