Ebay Intercoolers Suck!

Bit of clickbait there, but nothin' but the truth! This is the quick and dirty version of my other ebay intercooler video, more action, less discussion. If you want to see more info and possible reasons/fixes, please go watch that video (it's 30 minutes though, and no cool dyno pulls, otherwise it would've been a lot longer). • Ebay Intercooler Test,...

Wouldn't it still be better than no intercooler at all?

[@linuxman51]

that's subject to debate, probably not at the very low boost level this test was run at. I would like to verify (or deny) that, but I don't have any straight chunks of 3in piping laying around to do the test with.

I search eBay intercooler because, without having taken it out and thoroughly inspected it, I think I have a leak. I’m running a Borg Warner S475 and a fresh motor. It won’t build boost until about 4500 rpm.

@@bowtiebuildingon a stock 280zx turbo they don’t come with intercoolers so the stock boost is 6psi. Once I installed an eBay unit it dropped to 1psi and I needed a boost controller to see 6psi again.

you don't explain it very clearly. sounds like a lot of mumble.

[@linuxman51]

its a short. there's a whole video that goes into the testing. also sounds like I had a cold.
