i was just wondering does the shape of the end tanks on a ic play a huge roll of the motion of the air. i have a pwr with just squarish end tanks, not slanted like a few out there. and with 14 psi, my 24*8*3 ic, from the temp of the pipes on both sides, was pretty effecient. do thise slanted end tanks play a huge roll or nothing big? also im planning to turn up the boost to about 20 psi. will my pwr 24*8*3 ic be ok? thanks guys

 

does anyone have an input?

 

Yes, it does play a good-sized role, and yes, you do want tapered tanks over square. But the important part is of course to test system efficiency after install - measure pressure drop across the intercooler and if that tests out acceptable to you, forget about it!

 

how the heck do i measure pressure drop

with a really good EMS.

 

Put a boost gauge on each side of the FMIC. There is a bling boost gauge out there that has two inputs that reads on the same guage - i thought it was greddy but i cant find it on their site.

But using a "bling ems" would be a better option because then you can datalog the results insteading of guesstimating the differences.

ok, thanks guys.
