MY NEW INTERCOOLER

[powderlites]

Intercoolers

I have had engineers helping me with this cooling and pressure drop for intercoolers and there programs are not setup for cold temps on snow.
Rules for myself
1-never blow charge across tubes cause it will sipon and not have even flow on tubes and cause high pressure on far cyl with high boost.
2-The size or rated HP/CFM is about pressure drop at so much boost and I feel that I make best intercoolers on these turbo sleds out there.
3-Airbox should be sized for motor and rpm.
4-Velcosity stacks should be made as close to 185 degreees for proper flow. Not a tube welded on a plate with holes in it.
5-Stacks should be in center of airbox where air is not being pushed out the ends or sides.
I have help make parts or intercoolers for a lot of fast guys out there and they are easy to change out and test for yourself.
Take a look at the inside and then you know who's intercooler you would run.
I have cut up and thrown out my share of hard core lessons and still get guys that phone me and can't make there sleds run right and i help them out but most guys never stop and think how much time I spent on getting just a intercooler done right.
Put a gauge on turbo outlet and one on the airbox and for the hell of it throw a gauge on exhaust manifold and see how these things really are running.

Yep just warming up my MSR gloves!!! I never get cold!!! Just lean over and you get blasted with all of the heat pouring off the turbo!! Man these things make heat.

I like my strap idea. I am still thinking I need a different material for the strap. It stretches more than I would like to see. I just used the two bolts on the inside of the Delta box to secure the strap. I am more worried about the throttle bodys blowing off than the intercooler. It would be a serious pain to put those back on 50 miles from the truck!!

I had to do the very same thing last spring while running 18 psi.... tb kept popping off... I used a tied down strap.

this time I have hooks on each side of head and will use exhaust springs to retain intercooler .

I thought about using exhaust springs but for how fast they eat through the steel hoops on exhaust pipes I don't know how long they will hold in aluminum!!!

Had the throttle bodies blow off from a friends supercharger last year, not just once, but twice. Man was that a pain in the arse!

but not exactly the same amount of vibration..... its vibration that make them eat the hooks.

Yes but there not aluminum.

I will try this winter and if its good I will post results here.

I made up aluminum brackets that bolt to the intercooler and also to the stator and pto cover bolts. That works well for me at 30+lbs boost

how much for a intercooler

Jannetty, How much for one of these coolers same dimensions?

Contact Dave at Powderlites! Im sure he can tell you.

Dave at Powerderlites built my intercooler this summer 12"x 8"x 3" Bell Intercooler core with 18 tubes. Just got off the dyno and I couldn't be more pleased with all the numbers. Pressure drop was hardly noticeable and the cooling was unbelievable. Ten second pull at 25 lbs of boost gave me 208 degree air in and was dropped to 70 degrees with ambient temps at 55 degrees. Thats real real good, almost 90% efficiency. Thanks Dave well done.

There you go, Great results.

Wow... those 3" cores are making me jealeous!


I have a 2-3/8 x 8.5 x 11.5 core on my new intercooler... almose mickey mouse in comparison

Better take another look at yours Mulot.
No side plates or fins and 20 tubes!!
I am real happy that everyone is getting good results.
