Just wondering if anyone knew how much an intercooler actually cools the temperature? I know that the size will make a difference, along with if it's a SMIC or FMIC. Don't flame too bad.

There is a formula for figuring this out, if i find it i'll post it. It does depend on alot of variables, so you cant just say:

"this intercooler cools 20 degrees on all car setups, on all days...."

Yeah, I know that there are a ton of variables, so it's damn near impossible to say, I was just looking for a ball park figure.

~50º... VERY DEPENDANT ON SIZES ETC. can be far more efficient. What size intercooler do you have in mind?

hotrex

50 degrees?? haha id say its alot more than that.

i used to rip the ---- out of my gsr, and the compressor end of my greddy 26x12 would be screaming hot, and the tb end would be very cool to the touch,

id say at least 100 degrees, if not more.

B16CRXT

same here. Not quite 100º but a good bit. I was being vague for the question.

yours was only cool to the touch? for some reason my ic is ------ ice cold on the tb side. depends on the day i guess?

idiot-stick

It shouldnt be possible for it to be cooler than ambient....well maybe a teeny tiny bit but not likely. :P

turboDA6

me no lie! i tell truth i swear! my ic is jiganto, hot air doesn't make it through!

I got in on the group buy that CCA was having and was just curious.
