arite im looking for a new FMIC to replace the dezod one that comes with the kit seeing im going to surpass the power levels.. im looking for dimensions that would fit perfectly or even links to intercoolers that you would suggest for higher HP tc's. If your going to post a 1000 dollar intercooler.. well.. haha no thank you

 

Intercooler cores are based on CFM....

So one cannot just throw out a size and say heh this one is better or ideal. Yes a big one will work but ideally you are trying to utilize a size that you will benefit from....

Bigger is not always better.

now their is also a material issue as well.

The "imported" intercooler cores you see here used allot use a lower quality aluminum so they have a tendency to retain heat allot longer than a higher quality core that utilizes "clean" aluminum.

Ideally you want to use a custom core like a Garrett and have custom end tanks made.

You might not spend 1000 but it will be allot more than the "imported" cores that I am sure someone else will recommend.

Yes i realize size doesnt matter but generally speaking the larger ones do have better flow... now i need an upgrade from dezods maybe one good for 500 whp.. i need one that will fit comfortably

 

Temperature rise = Tco - Ta

Temperature removed = Tco - Tio

Intercooler efficiency is then the temperature removed divided by the temperature rise:

Ei = (Tco - Tio) / (Tco - Ta)

Ei = intercooler efficiency
Tco = compressor outlet temprerature
Ta = ambient temperature
Tio = air exiting the intercooler


Use this to determine your intercooler efficiency you will only need to upgrade if your intercooler can't do the job but just to thing you need one well, doesn't mean you do. From turbo books I have read it stated air to air intercoolers range from 60-76% efficient. It all depends on the configuration, space limitations, and etc on which intercooler you will have to run. It all depends on your engine requirements and CFM it needs to be as well.
