intake temperature drop from 120deg. F. to 28deg. F.??? omg thats not real! ive never seen figures like that, i never looked into buying a new FMIC so i dunno much but shouldnt the avg. IAT drop 20-40degrees at the most by the time it gets to the UICP? water freezes at 32deg. F. @ sea level (14.7psi ambient)

Looks an aweful lot like the Megan Racing intercooler. I'm pretty certain they use a Spearco core. Everyone thinks they're pretty "cheap" but it's basically the same core that Buscher uses.

Why doe you say it looks like crap? I mean specifically what don't you like about it other then the fact that it doesn't have a "brand name"?
Just curious where you were coming from...

You're probably right. It has to be Centegrade...
There is an intercooler out there that drops to near freezing temps through. I believe it's more like a water cooler and it uses freon as a cooling agent. I saw one at the strip one time on a typhoon. The darn thing actually had a frost on the outside of it :!: :!:
I think it's a bit cumbersome to be practicle. It's a lot of plumbing and added weight. It'd be cheaper and faster to run a 15-50 shot of nitrous into your intake.

hell yeah that aint practical..for it to run an evaporator unit on the I/C it would need a compressor, metering device, and a condenser unit...ofcourse u could modify ur existing A/C unit to fit those demands but you'd have to sacrifice ur A/C by flipping the evaporator from under the dash to the front....just too much swapping flipping and a whole lot of a waste...just run one of those NOS type I/C sprayers and save money and the hassle

as long as the welds and fins are properly made, i do not really see a difference, because an intercooler is just a core. most are made by the same company from what I hear...

I'm sure your friends on EvoM can tell you. Oh wait, you're banned from there! Please don't try to start crap on this site because we have a lot less tolerance than the average forum.
There is no conceivable reason you should want to bump this thread. That is, of course, unless you wanted to start a flame war over a topic that ended in flames on EvoM. This is a topic that has been beaten to death over the years.
