I have a 31"x12"x4" intercooler that will be mounted in front of the condensor. I have a 6.0 sts turbo system with a gt67, 44lb injectors, walbro fuel pump, and running 12lbs of boost. Will my intercooler be to big? I am also using 2 1/2" aluminum tubing the whole wayh back.

 

I hope not that is what size intercooler I'm going to get. BTW, that is one kick-*** set-up you got there. lol

 

too big can be a problem, it just adds volume to your intake system and would probably produce some turbo lag, also your wallet will be thinner......

 

so what is to big????

 

the one that has too much size.

 

 

whats too much size???? for real!

 

I can't see why a large intercooler would be a problem? It would just cool better and people ice down the intake to get cooler air. Please tell me what I'm not thinking of here that would make a large intercooler a bad idea. Thanks, Jim

 

With and air-air intercooler like they are talking about you add more air volume that has to be compressed before the air actually enters the engine. It is like having a train with 10 cars and a train with 20 cars. It will take longer to take up the slack between the 20 cars before the end one actually starts moving.
If a smaller one will cool effectively and get the job done it would be the best one to go with.

 

So using 2 1/2" pipng will help with the Air volume. The intercooler is 31"x12"x4". Last summer my IAT's were reaching 210 to 240 so i fugured more volume and 2 1/2 aluminum piping would help out.
