When I Looked into it pwr could make a front mount to any size and passes you wanted at a cost. But quality wise and costumer service they were spot on. They can do the calculations for you as well based on hp/boost etc
“”Basically the way we know that we are more efficient than a core straight off the bat is that our tube design is the best in the world, the tube we do not have different tubes that we use for Nascar or Formula 1 compared to what we use in our everyday cores. These tubes are typically 8-10% more efficient straight from the get go””
For example with the yella terra core under the blower they used a transmission cooler and it was fairly average setup. So they custom made these high efficiency cores to suit the housing.. Fins per inch also a consideration, as with fin and core type
October 29, 2015 at 4:45 pm #10755I still have a Harrop Reservoir and the Bosch Pump if it’s of any use? (big one on the left)
Id be using something decent like this both look great and decent brand. The yella terra pumps failed and were noisy. The res had a base that screwed on that constantly leaked.

Posts: 5 777Any chance of you boys educating a dumb ass na guy like me. I am assuming w2A means water to air and refers to the intercooler? How does that all work, what are the advantages or disadvantages compared to what else is out there?
October 29, 2015 at 4:56 pm #10760W2A uses a 2 stage active system, you have a closed loop cooling system and another exchanger/radiator.
Pros are in slow speed high boost situations it’s a good deal more efficient as you can run a cooling fan on the exchanger, A2A’s can heatsoak under these conditions, Cons are weight, bulk, complexity and cost.
October 29, 2015 at 4:58 pm #10761oops we both posted an answer at once
Yeah water to air is a FMHE(front mount heat exchanger like a radiator), Water runs through the system, pumps the heated water front under the supercharger to the front rad where air cools the heated water as it runs through it. Then it pumps it back into the core under the blower and the dropped temp
Advantages over a2a less boost loss, disadvantages unless its extremely efficient can suffer from heak soak after a few hard passes. There is a lot to consider pump flow rates have to be right, core under blower has be to efficient as does the front mount heat exchanger.

these guys are in the states have a good rep but with the dollar so low dont know if its viable
Havent heard much on these guys

October 29, 2015 at 5:05 pm #10767After about 500rwhp W2A get’s big heavy and bulky, on my old Supra I went back to A2A but if you were playing in Traffic IAT’s were through the roof as it just couldn’t keep up, W2A won hands down..
October 29, 2015 at 5:13 pm #10770Yeah LJ how much? I was thinking of using my window wiper bottle so it looks stealth and already has a mounting spot as the reservoir? But lid may be an issue.
October 29, 2015 at 5:15 pm #10771This is my final design and by design I mean foam cut out.

Sent a PM :XD:

I dont think it would cope with the heat and pressure all to well. Whats everyone else think
October 29, 2015 at 5:31 pm #10774I don’t even know what u drive lol
