Re:Calculating intercooler size
That book IS the absolute bible of turbocharging! I bought a copy of Maximum Boost 2 years ago, and I've probably read it cover to cover 10 times!

Re:Calculating intercooler size
where is the stick formula? I want to know if bigger is better for only 8 psi? I know I wont go past that. I'll probobly stick with 6 or 7 psi. I currenly have a pretty big probe intercooler. I read somewhere that it will give me lag and wont help me at the low psi that I'm at. Should I just get a little dsm gen 1 intercooler?

Re:Calculating intercooler size
speaking of maximum boost. where can i get that book at?

Re:Calculating intercooler size
Hey nick to answer your question... bigger is definitely not better as larger intercoolers will result in more lag period.. If your boosting high enough you need the higher flow efficiency but at anything as low as your talking about a dsm would be sufficient if you can keep it cool, meaning try and mount it as a front mount or with lots of air hitting it from a cut out or something of the sort

the pics aren't showing up for me

Re:Calculating intercooler size
yeah i know i am poor and couldnt pay my bills :'(
remember more rows increases effiency.. often why GNX's run those like 20" long coolers, and only 8" wide. but on a civic its kinda impractical |
Re:Calculating intercooler size
I heard that if the intercoolers pipes are too long, like when you have to go from the back of the motor (mine) to the frot mount ic that is gonna give you more lag than if you install the ic closer, is that true?
