How do you measure intercooler sizes?

[Trust33]

Just curious as to where the intercooler is measured from......say if its 600 by 300 by 76?Is it all measured inside the core? or are the end tanks included in the size?

[craz0]

Most of them are measured without the end tanks, 90% of the time but the other 10% measure the end tanks.

Can i fone a friend?thanks fo yo help.The one on the car at the moment is 400 by 260 by 65 measuered inside the end tanks.And ive been told that it would not be efficienct enough to cool inlet temps when i am in the chase for more horsepower.

How much power are you chasing? I definately don't know Intercooler size to power requierments, it all depends on the position, type and size.

The standard cooler is about half the size and can cope with about 180rwkw at the wheels so I would say that a 400 by 260 by 65 could cope with 250rwkw+.

Maybe but besides that the core has a rock crease in it.And its a big rock crease by the way and i was looking at replacing it anyway.I want to get a hybrid maybe their prices arnt to bad and they performance is exceptional?give me a day and i might be able to find out how they measure size to horsepower.....

Well i was told by con @ c&v performance...Well first i told him that i was chaseing arround 390hp @ the engine and he said ''the bigger the better''.And i said ''how big'' n he said 300 by 600 by 90.U c the bigger the drop in inlet temps the easier its gonna be to make safe power.He also said that its better when playing with the timing to have cooler inlet temps and there is less chance of detonation when running high ammounts o booosto.

So thats it the bigger the better. :alien:

what psi will you be running when the bigger fmic is fitted, as a mate put a larger core in and lost 6psi from 22psi so there may be a small drop to expect too. oh yeah he used a supra core so it was semi quality!!

300x600x90...

90 is like drag core size...that's huge!

just bougth a 300 x 600 x 76 from the intercoolguy and they have pressure drop of only .2 psi (yes that is POINT 2) and the whole thing end to end is 800 x 600 x 76

he makes good stuff

Theres no big turbo yet im just thinkin about it my car is gettin a respray a kit and maybe a front mount if there is any money left.A bigger turbo is still a future mod.I think i agree with u mcboost that coola is more than ample for a 390hp @ motor in the future.

thats a huge bitch!!!

[Trust33]

Somehow i dont think so.BO-hemuth!...Whats that 3 inch in n out.My turbo couldnt compete.
