This is the
first look at our new Street King Type-S Tube and Fin
Intercooler.
Internally the intercooler has a consistent 10FPI, this is essential to remove the heat efficiently. You should also note the square stamped fins of our intercoolers, this gives a far bigger contact area to the tube wall, thus better heat disbersment. Cheaper intercoolers have the folded fin design that can bunch up (not consistent) causing large gaps and possibly not welding to the tube wall due to the small contact area.
Externally, Street King intercoolers have a fin pitch of 12FPI, are straight and uniform to allow more air through and the tubes have a tapered leading edge to direct the air around the tube, (you can see this in the internal photo) and no silver paint to peel off like the cheap intercoolers.
The tanks are polished and come with 3" inlet/outlets on the 600 x 300 core or 2.5" inlet/outlet on the 450 x 300 core. The smaller inlets were chosen for the 450 core as these cores will mostly suit and be used on smaller vehicles which do not need the larger inlet as pipe work will most likely be 2.5" diameter, and will aid in the installation of pipes when room is at a minimum.
The top and bottom plates are polished on our first batch, but will be a linished finish when our logo is eventually stamped on them, and are 2mm thick with a folded edge for maximum strength, all the neat welding is also lightly polished.
I will add pressure drop and more importantly, temperature drop info in the next couple of weeks.
