What turbo are you running russellb? Because that intercooler is massive! I would expect to see it bolted up to a T78 or a T51R or suchlike. Any idea what the pressure drops for it are? By the way, like Sean said, that is the cleanest engine I've ever seen! Wish mine looked like that...


No Turbo just an Autorotor superchager :)

Fatty wrote:hey guys, do you reckon 550 x 140 x 65 with 2.25 inch pipes is big enough ? i won't be running massive boost, probably 7 or 8 psi max.


should be fine

mine is 600x300x75 and on 8psi and i have no probs
most of them are around that size
yours is short in height which is an advantage as you wont lose anything in flow across the cooler
