What size intercooler to use?

[accrdpusha]

I was running 10lbs on my car before it blew up. It blew due to a faulty injector. Now, it has come to start building a block. I plan on running between 25-30 psi. My first intercooler is 25 inches long, 5 inches high, and about 2 inches thick. My new one is 23 inches long, 12 inches high and 2 3/4 inches thick. Dimensions are based on the core. Is my new intercooler too big or just right for the psi i want to put down? If it is the wrong size, than what do you recommend me using? Mind you, im gonna run about 17-20 psi daily and 25-30 psi for track.

pressure alone has nothing to do with intercooler sizing. 30psi on a T66 is moving a hell of a lot more air than 30psi with a T25 ;).

Not sure exactly what spec IC you would need but to be running 25-30 on a Built SOHC Accord Engine (damn you Better be careful) :D

You would definately have to upgrade from that standard IC you have now. I sure that Ic you have now is only good for -/+ 1 Bar?

1/4 Mile Crew in da house :D

[accrdpusha]

Dont worry, i'll be carefully built. I got another IC and it is a lot bigger, i posted dimensions up top.
