Registered: May 2002	Re: intercooler pipe sizes Sat, 02 October 2004 23:42 I think along the same lines as Norbie - 3.0" is total overkill for most applications (barbies 9 sec gemini uses 60mm i believe). When the air is hot and expanded then it does take more volume, however it is also easier to move around (less density) post intercooler when it is cool, it is more dense and therefore harder to direct. The current set up on my corolla uses 2" pre intercooler and 2.5" post intercooler. The new intercooler that I have is set up for 2.5" in and out. There is an article in the tech docs by Rod Try that is for calculating T/B size - the same maths can be used to calculate pipe size (it is gleaned from Corky Bell's book and he suggests using 450fps as acceptable intercooler pipe velocity - the terminology is semi-correct, but acceptable for determining size). I hope that this helps. [Report message to a moderator]
