XS engineering intercooler

Ghost Ride the Whip
It's the same as the RX7fashion IC except the piping on the RX7fashion one is bigger I believe.
Anyways, I thought XS doesn't sell this kit anymore. At least it's not listed on their website for sale so I thought it was discontinued

I have one but I don't know how to post pictures. You could see the front of it on my home page in the pictures section www.davidkim.freehomepage.com

Maybe theres a reason they don't make it anymore?
I have always thought you reduce the angle of turns in intake piping whenever you can. Velocity is just as important as mass. The way that IC looks is that flow will go in , bounce off the wall immediately, causing reversion, which will slow down and upset the flow. Then after it goes through the IC core (if it will even utilize the entire core efficiently due to the entry spot) it bounces off the other wall and is expected to do ANOTHER 180 to go up to the throttle body.... Seems pointless and inefficient, solely designed for mounting/ease of plumbing..has anyone ever tested this intercooler versus other models? How is velocity in and out of the core? Unless those end tanks are contoured inside (and even then) it seems like a poor design IMHO. Im sure the core is efficient, but those end tanks are silly.
And I understand you want a little turbulence, or tumbling of the air as it goes into the engine - it helps homologate the air fuel mixture more thoroughly through the expansion chamber. But thats also being taken care of by the 90 degree bend from the LIM/ENGINE and the rough casting of the LIM internal structure.
