man give Bell intercoolers a call ask what they recommend !
maximum width without modifying bumper is 11" wide...10" maximum if you want to go 6", the bumper spaces are slighly triangular
and the longer the FMIC the more restrictive it is...not sure how that effects surface area, also not sure if it would end up a more efficient cooling solution or not...would need to be tested...keep in mind the SMIC locations assuming you seal it properly will develop greater pressures...so more flow through the SMIC's in the SMIC location than if they were in the FMIC location
you'd be better asking ARE.com.au I recon :)
put 4"+ in front of your radiator your asking for overheating problems .
mine will be 4" thick. i guess we'll find out. good thing i don't have a stock radiator. :)Quote:

i'll give you that a 24x8" core will probably be less restriction than a 24x12" core (more fins, wider area to spread the charge out to). what i'm saying is that i don't see how a 24x12" core is any more restrictive than a 18x12" core.
p.s.
this is what i've got on my car currently:

take any core manufacturer and compare their CFM ratings for different core sizesQuote:

A4.50xB12.10xC18.00 817 CFM
A4.50xB12.10xC24.00 729 CFM
see less flow
A4.50xB2.00xC6.00 173 CFM
A4.50xB4.00xC6.00 346 CFM
see douple flow !
thats a good radiator !Quote:
