Generally there're 2 types of Intercoolers.
Water to Air and Air to Air.
THen there are 2 kinds of Air to Air intercoolers.
Bar and Fin and Tube and Fin.
Bar and Fin intercoolers are the ones we commonly see like VR4, EVO, BLITZ, etc.
Tube and Fin intercoolers are the ones like 1JZ SUpra Intercooler. The cooling fin are on the outside of the tubes.

tube and fins are what we get from gsr/vr4/evo halfcuts etc.
bar and plate would be like the one being sold here at the forums. Bar and plate has more mass, allowing it to take a longer time to reach heat soak. It is also more durable and robust, little stones and such on the road shouldn't hurt it so much. If the internal ribs are designed properly, it should provide superior cooling over tube and fin.
Also it looks damn ganas :lol:

I think one type of the intercooler flows better than the other.... but i forgot it's bar and plate or tube and fins...
flowing better doesn't necessarily mean better.
If it flowed better, but had lower cooling ability then thats bad too. On the other hand, good cooling ability but big pressure drop isn't good either :D
i think last time sky88 put up a very good article on bar and plate intercoolers, maybe you can try searching for it.

All the while i thought bar and plate was just more fins packed into the same sized intercooler...
Hence better cooling due to more fins but heavier in comparison... no?

depends lor, some bar and plate you see inside like normal tube and fin. But those that usually cost abit more would have ribbed internals i.e like fins, but on the inside, which can contribute to superior cooling.
a good intercooler would have large temperature differential between in/out and a very low pressure drop. infinite intercooler looks very yummy :D
