DIY ventilation heat exchanger

ham789 · 07-29-13, 04:41 PM

I stumbled across a turbocharger intercooler and said, "What the heck" and bought it for $5.
Plan is to stick it diagonally in the window so the ports
fall inside and outside the plane of the window. Been trying
to figger out how to make the air pass thru multiple times
to create something more like a cross-flow exchanger.
But it's so massive that it might not make much difference.

If I can figure out which car it fits, I might be better off selling
it and buying a real HRV.

Ideas?
