Intercooler cfm? is it enough
Well i would be able to calc this out if turbonetics stiil had their compressor maps up, but what i was planning on running is an air/water intercooler setup...i have a chance to pick up a unit pre-built that i pretty sure i can get to fit in my 95 integra gsr....the unit is the http://www.turboneticsinc.com/liquid.html 2.252 intercooler....i am planning on running 60-1 w/a .63 a/r on the hot side...now will this intercooler be a complete bottle neck? Im going to staart w/ a low boost app around 6-7psi...but eventually will step it up to around 20psi once i have a fuly built motor....what i really need to know is is this going to be a bottle neck in my system? thanks in advance

Re: (drumking15)
Here is my guess, and hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong- from looking at the chart there and the air/air I/C chart it seems a little confusing- the air/air are rated at a certain cfm (rated for what??) and they air/water are rated at a variety of cfms, showing their different efficiencies. I don't think the air/water I/C, or any I/C can be a bottleneck unless the in/outs are too small or there is only a tiny core to the point where they would be less area for flow than a pipe of the same diameter. I don't think they make ICs where the core size would be so small as to be an issue
I don't see why this wouldn't apply to the air/air I/Cs as well since air/air and air/water have the inner construction.
