Whats the difference in the Banks, Spearco, Hypermax intercoolers ? Should I look into getting one of these or can I keep rolling with my stock intercooler on my set-up.
I got the Banks kit cheap used on craigslist locally. Didn't notice any mileage or power gains, but I have stock injectors and turbo. Also, EGTs probably went down, but I didn't have a gauge until after the intercooler went in. I'd say run the stock one until you pop the tanks.
I don't know but when cruising on the highway I think my zoodad does as much to keep things cool as a larger IC would. At highway speeds and 8-10 lbs of boost my IAT2's are = to the ambient air temp. I can't see how a bigger IC can improve on that.
seems like my egts are pretty high, i wont be using meth so just water for cooling. the guys at TSD directed me torwards water just because it would help with cooling without the huge jump in price, also would help my cooling in town. and with a 6 gal tank and it being completely computer controlled chris should be able to tweak everything to work smoothly with his laptop.
i was under the impression that just using water without the meth would not raise cylinder press?
either way have talked too 3 or 4 gusy that have intercoolers with 195+ sticks and they said the ic maybe dropped em 250 on the highway
