intercooler horespower
I know there can be other factors but generally what kind of horsepower would an intercooler with a core of 18x8x2.5 be good for?

Man U FTW
idk....i would say about 300hp. I have a 31x6x3 IC and it will support 350-400whp......compare it w/ mine and see where it gets you. The way i figured out the size i needed was to look at Precision and other companies sizing and compare it to mine.

CFM with cooling capability, but since there are sooooo many factors I believe it's impossible to get an equation so to speak.

Yeah, basically. I think what most people do is flow test their intercoolers, noting the pressure drop and efficiency. Once either drops off quickly, you need a bigger core. Im sure that garrett rates their cores accordingly. Since you can calculate hp from lp/min or cfm, that explains the hp rating system.
Lol, I know I shouldnt be contributing to crap by posting like I did above, but sometimes I cant resist.
