just want to know if the bigger spearco is better than the smaller one. does it flow more. does it cool better. just want to know if it will be worth the relocation of the oil cooler.
driftmotion IC question
- Thread starter Supraboy89
- Start date
Bigger intercooler
Pros:
More cooling power.
Less resistant to flow.
Cons:
Longer spool time.
Fitment issues.

appearently the stock ic is rated at 450hp.. so the smaller driftmotion one should be fine for under 450hp.. if you are not going over 450hp.. i dont think you should waste your money on the bigger one.

3" piping causes longer spool time because the new pipes have a larger volume. A larger Intercooler also has a larger volume thus it also increases spool time.
if your talking about there same side exit ones that look similar to the sparco's... the "bigger" one is thinner. Do the math with the dimensions, the total area of the cores might surprise you.

This would negate my statement. I just assumed the bigger one had a higher volume.
one is a 3 inch core.
other is a Spearco knockoff with a 3.5 inch core.
3.5 has a much higher volume.
