i,ve just managed to grab a huge alloy intercooler its just a bit bigger(deeper) and wider(78mm)fitting it wont be a problem but it has 3" outlets, would it have any negative effects if i connected this to turbo&inlet via 3"to2" reducing piping?also is it possible to over intercool a car,or was it a good buy??

 

Hi,
I reckon you will get away with using reducers on the intercooler but just bear in mind although bigger is often better, there is a limit to how big an intercooler should be! Be prepared for more lag if its a real monster though! Check the core is a coarse finned type though as you could end up with restricted airflow through the coolant radiator leading to overheating problems!

cheers for the reply vyper you are on the ball how do i check if it is corse finned??

 

To be fair, the lag will be minimal. Had a scooby and put a FMI on it with yards of pipe...no difference in lag! Expected loads but turbo came on song just as before!

Air, doesn't compress very well!
