intercooler queries Fri, 30 January 2004 00:42 Go to next message
What would be an appropriate sized intercooler to run on a 18-20psi turbo application. BTW the motor is a 3TGTE and will soon have a CT20-B on it.

Would 400x150 be enough?

Any dimensions and info would be appreciated on what size to use.

Thanks.

I believe 450x200x70 would be plenty

It really depends on the space available. If you've only got 150mm or so of height available, then maybe look for a thicker core like a 450x160x90 or something?

Forge Motorsport sell a nice one that is quite slim... 600x180x70 from memory. I bought one last year. 180GBP, which worked out to be ~$600 AUD delivered including shipping, customs and GST. www.forgemotorsport.co.uk

The welding quality is really good :

thanks, I am mainly curious about the 400x150x??? as I may be able to ahold of one for cheap. If this will not do the job I would prefer to get a proper one straight up instead of swapping it over later.

Thanks.

if you are referring to the Lancer GSR one in the Classifieds section, then it may pay to visit the GSR/EVO forums and ask a few questions.

That intercooler is off a 1.8L turbo making around 140Kw.
At what point to the Lancer guys upgrade it?

I'd *guess* it could probably handle up to around 180-190Kw... I've driven a GSR running 13psi with the standard cooler and it was fine. 18-20psi is a fair bit more boost thou.

But thanks for your help mate.
