intercooler to big???
my friend wants to sell me his intercooler its 28x7x3
Im only making 205whp with a d15b w/small 16g turbo, is there such thing as having to big of an intercooler?
right now i have a dsm side mount. and want to go bigger, but the one my friends selling is huge! would his intercooler effect spool time/hp if used on my car???

Re: intercooler to big??? (torqueless)
Yes, it is possible for an intercooler to be too big. Besides fitment issues, after a certain point adding more cooling surface won't do anything because the air charge would have been cooled to near ambient temperature anyway. Also, yes, any added volume in the charge system will make a turbo work harder.

ok that makes sence, So do you think i should just stick with the side mount? or get a small front mount such as a 20x5x2 1/2??

yeah, that's not that big because it'll still fit under the oem bumper reinforcement bar. mine is about that size on my gsr.

Re: (undercoverdc2)
Would an srt 4 intercooler fit your purposes? I have a friend who used an srt-4 on his DA not sure how it worked but it worked perfect for him and it was like 150 bucks. Check out an srt-4 forum sometimes they are lying around here too.
great steal
btw that was CAD.. so itll be like 10 cents for you.

Re: (mike93boost)
anything bigger than a size mount would not only make more power but would also be better as far as detonation. just get the 28x7x3. You wont be disappointed

care to explain how its going to make more power with an oversized IC? You can only cool the air to ambient temp therefore anything with more sirface area than what it takes to cool the charge to to ambient is pointless
