Yup, got a nice barely used Spearco 2-231 core for $430 off ebay. It's in really good shape, and will fit well under the hood with the airbox and battery removed.
Looking inside, it's evident that the Spearco AW cores are not just AA cores turned sideways. They actually appear to have biased the layer thickness for more charge air flow. The water channels are thinner, because they need less room.
I've also got a huge Fluidyne cooler coming for the front, supposed to be here today. It's basically going to fill the entire front grill area.
Now, all I need is some aluminum mandrel bends, and a pump.
The pump, I know what I want, but I'll have to save for it. Jabsco Centri-puppy, brass rotor and housing, continuous duty, 20GPM. But it's $180.
I might see if I can scrounge up some POS pump to hold me over until I get the real thing.
I need some Aluminum mandrel bends to do the piping, I want to redo it in aluminum, with beads.
Anybody know where to find aluminum mandrel bends, from 1.75" to 3" OD?
