How much HP is the Greddy type-31 good for? I have one here that I had with my old setup and was wondering how much HP it can flow.

Someone has to know this!!!

 

Well the type 31 is a small intercooler and i would only use it for streets so i would say or guess 300-350whp.

 

It's not really that small though compared to what some are running. I measured it and it is like 28" long 2.5inch Thick and 8inches tall.

 

Is that 28" including the endtanks?

 

I don't think so. I will have to check again. I think it was over 30" though with the endtanks.

Intercoolers don't make power. I don't think there would be a limit if you set it up correctly either. Once again it depends on your set-up and tuning.

 

No your wrong there. Intercooler size does limit your HP potential. That like saying a 1.5" exhaust will make the same power as a 2.5" exhaust.

 

No your wrong. There is a reason why there are such things as intercoolers whether it would be air to air or air to liquid coolers. If u put any sort of turbo kit on any car without a intercooler all its doing is blowing hot air into the motor and the motor doesn't really make good power. Also you cannot run really high boost even if u have a built motor or not. Eventually the motor is going to overheat or blowup.

As for the type 31 intercooler, a 28" intercooler without end tank is pretty big. I had no idea that it was that big. If that where the case then i would say that it is good for 500+whp. But if u have the option why not just be on the safe side and get the type24. IF u are planning to make crazy power.

I just measured it again. It is 27 for the core and 32 from endtank to endtank. The height is 7.75 and the thickness is 2.75

 

someone has to have some kind of idea

 

From what I've noticed in my car, after bolting on the FMIC I probably experienced a 15-25HP increase at 7-8psi just by cooling the air. Thank you very much....

 

ok, i think i have your answer....
the type-31 starts losing efficency at 18-20psi. As for how much HP, you cannot really put a HP number down, as different cars make different HP numbers, but the intercooler efficency rate is based upon pressure. hope that clarifies this dispute.

Have you tried calling Greddy themselves?

 

How is your intercooler so long?

Intercooler core sizes (mm):
Type 18: H266 x L410 x W85
Type 23: H294 x L600 x W115
Type 24: H276 x L600 x W76
Type 25: H294 x L600 x W149
Type 26: H132 x L410 x W85
Type 31: H186 x L600 x W76
Type 32: H258 x L600 x W115

 

Thats what it measures with my tape measure.
