Intercooler Sizing Efficiency
I'm currently running 11lbs of boost the car does not have an intercooler. Was going with fmic, but the intercooler I have is to long. My question is how small can I go before the intercooler starts losing efficiency and acts like a heat sink?
Twin 2 Rows Super Capacity Side Mount Intercooler for Renault 5 GT Turbo 1985 91 | eBay |
1999 2004 Volkswagen VW Golf Jetta MK4 1 8T Bolt on Aluminum Turbo Intercooler | eBay which will flow better?
|
Search deezums and Aidandj builds for a good FMIC that has good cost benefit ratio. I think Schuyler has one as well.
|
I haz one as well ;)
But yes, that one is great. OP, 27x7x2.5 all alum bar&plate will meet the needs of just about 90% of the cars here |
generally speaking, a thinner intercooler with more frontal area is better than a thicker one with less frontal area. The law of diminishing returns applies exponentially as you get thicker for heat exchanges.
The one you posted seems way to thick. If packaging isnt an issue go with a thinner but more frontal area IC |
yes both of the ones posted are not anywhere near what you'd want

props for taking the time to dig up the links aidandj!
|
Yep, now no one has an excuse for not buying these awesome things
|
Thank you guys so much for spoon feeding and not telling me to fuck off. Reason as to why I selected that ic choice is because it's the closest in size for my side by side set up. Invisible Intercooler – Engine bay mounted IC - MX-5 Miata Forum doing something similar to that.
|
Fuck, not this shit again.
|
problem: miatas overheat.
solution: halve the radiator. |
problem: simple proven setup that works for everyone
solution: terrible very prone to failure solution for the sake of being different lol You can take a fellow out of clubricer, but you can't take clubricer out of the fellow |
So even with a coolant reroute my car will have over heating problem with the smaller radiator?

Please tell me this is a troll account.
