Hi, Erich --
Cooling fin area only - Oil - 10 x 4H x 2D; Coolant - 10-1/4 x 3-3/8D
x 3-1/2H. Both with mounting arrangements widening them, and fit in a
13" wide duct. But if your substituting for Europa parts, the
important spec is what they do thermally.
I would like to know too what an intercooler will do; auto enthusiasts
install them for different purposes (best power pedal-to-metal). The
climb rate should improve, but cruising at 75% power (if we knew
exactly what that is), the gain is in fuel efficiency. I don't know
either if the computer adjusts boost based on airbox temp (it limits
it above 162F for sure), but they don't say. That would nullify the
intercooler a bit, power wise. Has been done, but anybody got hard
data?
Searching the net will produce lots of hits, but aftermarket prices
are something else. Junkyards may not be a good source, as the
hotrodders will have them already. There is net of junkyards with
online inquiry for what you need, once you know what yr/make/model.
Bob Berube told me some Nissan is good fit.
In looking at my engine room, I was concerned over maintaining enough
induction airflow, or you overwork the turbo. And the additional
inlet air is aerodynamic drag, w/o knowing expected benefit.
