Thought this would be somewhat useful for some people here.

Laminova cores have been around for ages... You can get them very cheaply on fleabay.

Have used a varient of the above with very good results

Does not really matter how long they have been about it is the fact that ERS took the time to show these here that counts.

New might not have been the operative word.

However rarely see this on cars, there's quite a few rotor boys playing with these now - 0.2psi drop through the core has been reported. From memory each core (depending if you cut it down or not) supports 150hp.

3 Cores could be made into a custom plenum on a Magna, running a centrifugal supercharger or turbo....

Lots of possibilities if you have the skill, or know someone that does.

Ooh! Ooh! That's me! :facejump:

I hope there's enough *useful* exchange area. Off to Darkoogle........

Unless I'm missing something, I fail to see how this style of IC addresses the logistical problems faced by Sprintex owners wanting any other type of mechanical intercooling...still, looks like it might be useful for centrifigual or turbo setups.

Chisholm (spelt it right this time).

Sprintex, you are correct, it *may* be somewhat just as hard as a traditional set up.

Centrifugal/turbo however, is a different matter.

Not sure how much room is under the bonnet with a sprintex set up (Chisholm/EZ Boy - any idea's?) However my first idea would be to mount it under the sprintex in a custom built plenum.

The benefit of these cores are well spoken about on Ausrotary (thread is linked), quite a bit more effecient than standard water/air coolers, and smaller.

Mal might know the thickness of the standard 13BT Series 5 air/air intercooler, friend of mine is having 4 of these cores built into the housing of one of them - with 10mm shaved off in height.

All depends on how much people are prepared to spend on metal fabrication - as the cores themselves are rather cheap.

EZ Boy - exchange area? check out the Ausrotary thread, I've seen these cores in person, and are rather impressive IMO.
