PERRIN Intercooler
Product Description
PERRIN EVO X intercooler takes what they have learned on the last EVO and applied it to the new EVO X. The new EVO has the benefit of the intercooler already being in the front of the vehicle, but the core is still a pretty restrictive core. PERRIN used the space Mitsubishi gave and crammed the biggest most effective intercooler they could in there!
KEY POINTS TO INTERCOOLER DESIGN
An intercooler is not ground breaking at all, but PERRINs core is different and made to a level different than the competition. When they built their core, they made it as big as possible and still using the FULL opening in the bumper. 4" Intercoolers do work, but the downfall is the thicker it gets the less effective it gets. Given 2 cores with the same volume, a thinner core that is bigger in all ambient directions is better than a super thick one that is smaller on the ambient side. There is enough room to make ours 4" thick but it does make it a very tight fit between the bumper and AC condenser.
So if you look atPERRINs core you can't really even see welds because they made it as wide as they could (while still fitting between the AC lines and being able to connect to the boost tubes). Wider is better as there is more ambient cooling surface. Because of the high IC inlet temps, a bigger core on the Ambient side is important. The hieght of our core is also as big as they felt would still be functional. They could have gone taller but its just that much less of the core that gets air flow.
