Arc Cross Flow Wide Intercooler Question..

[BakemonoRicer]

Dimensions are 300x600x70 with m073 core. This is for s15

How much power would this efficiently support? 350rwkw?

Would there be any advantage ordering custom arc and using say an m079 core?

I know ARC make amazing intercoolers but I wouldn't recommend the cross flow types they are too restrictive IMO

[BakemonoRicer]

Cross flow is the one which deletes factory pipework and u cut hole in battery tray. This the one u were thinking ?

The other type is turn flow - end tanks are return so u can keep factory intake pipework

It's efficiency will change depending on duty time, and ambient temperature. I would say it would support 500+kw of flow, as long as there is enough air passing through it to keep it cool. Stock GTR intercoolers flow 500kw, so this one being slightly thicker and better quality core should be fine.

You might as well go with a 120mm core if you plan to upgrade.

What's the difference between the cross flow and turn flow?

[GTSBoy]

Nothing much different in the core. Turn flow just have the tank on the driver's side with an outlet at the top or bottom so you can send the cold pipe back towards the LHS of the car (either along the top of the core or underneath the core). This allows you to put the pipework through the factory holes. Because you have to make room for the return pipe, the core can't be as tall, and generally because the outlet of the RHS tank tends to clash with headlights/bumper supports etc, the core often needs to be a bit shorter than you can get away with on a straight through design.
