intercooled gasser

Awesome, get her ordered!

think this is what i am gonna get. what you think? probably need a couple more pieces of pipe and a couple couplers but i can get those from the local parts store.

I've used these is some builds in the past for others.. It's actually quite decent. The cores are of good size, and the flows are decent. The piping is thin, but plenty efficient. My only recommendation is use different couplers and clamps, as the ones in the kits are usually garbage. Just examine them prior to use, and you'll be able to tell if they're quality or crap.
The silicone couplers should be thick, wrapped style, and threaded core design (for strength.) The clamps should even "feel" like they're worth something. t-bolt clamps aren't light, like a standard worm-gear clamp, unless they're poor quality material.

WTF does RPM have to do with intercooler size?

Let me answer that: Nothing..

It's psi capability, flow-rate, efficiency, and psi drop.

Flowrate is engine displacement x RPM / 3456 without going further into air density calculations. But whatever, good luck OP. I'm not wasting any more of my time.

 

[Rogan68]

Sure, I could throw formulas around as well, but that can be for another thread.
IC flowrate is completely irrelevant to engine displacement, when you start speaking flowrates. The flowrate of the Turbo is what counts. As for the engine's air, if you're dealing with exhaust components, headwork, etc., then yes, your above formula is relevant.

I didn't mean to sound harsh in my original post, so if you took it that way, I apologize. I was just surprised that someone with the truck you appear to have, wouldn't have made that type of statement.

per Tapatalk on my EVO

I have to agree with Rick on this one ..

Also to the OP ... this is going to be sick

 

[talon6]

got the intercooler kit on the way. went ahead and got a couple 18" straight pcs too. still wont probably be enough piping but i will just have to figure it all out when it comes time.

 

[Rogan68]

cool deal.. I think it'll work out just fine for you, especially with the (relative) lower boost levels. Although, I've used that kit on a 20+psi Merkur XR4Ti (2.3L)

 

[talon6]

gotta get my fuel pump, 2 bar map sensor, and data logger, then i should be good to go. just taking my time. in no real hurry. just like to have it all installed and tuned in by late spring.

 

[Rogan68]

If you decide to buy a WBO2, let me know. I've got an Innovate LC-1 that I've got no use for anymore (left over from my Subaru Tuning days). I think I still have some AutoMeter gauges (fuel pressure w/sensor, trans temp, and something else; I'll have to go look.)


I think it may be a vac/boost..

 

[talon6]

already have new triple pod with new aem wideband,aem trans,aem boost guages. gonna get a logger seperate.

[Rogan68]

Awesome!

 

[Trupiano]

Got any pics of the supercharger? Not sure what a vortech looks like. I bet that trucks gonna jump in power though!!!

 

[Trupiano]

I know procharger has a pretty badass intercooler for they're set-up. Any way you could purchase that and make it work?

 

[talon6]

sorry no pics. gonna get some soon though. here is these. mine is the v2 si trim polished.

SUPERCHARGERS | Vortech Superchargers

already got my intercooler setup on the way. hopefully it will work out for me.

 

[Trupiano]

Oh ok awesome, I'm sure it's gonna be sick!

 

[talon6]

intercooler setup shipped today. woot woot.

 

[iSlacker816]

Hell yea dude!

 

[Rogan68]

Nice! Pics when you get it, or it wasn't ordered

+1
I am interested in the final outcome. It's going to be a whole new beast.

 

[talon6]

i have alot of pics to get. i am terrible about it.
