That's the one I was looking at. Why did you modify the fittings?

To move more water.The (2) 3/4 dia npt fittings are not big enough to move the amount of water via my 2 rule pumps. I can melt 100 lbs of ice in a 20 second run.

Ran what was their largest a the time on a 640 IH. The $500 one. Also modified he fittings for two in and two out with larger bunge. Good cheap intercooler. Lots of diesel trucks running them. Lots of guys going to nicer ones once they get the money though too.

It is a balancing act between cool air and pressure drop across the core. The frozen boost coolers require more core area than the good coolers to do the same amount of work. Most that have gone from a china core to a high quality core have noticed a benefit of going to the better core. That being said, if you can modify the china cores to take a bunch of water they will work for the money.

One would need more information to properly size an intercooler. What class? How many cfm of air are you expecting? Turbo/Head?? Charge air temps? etc... I would check with your engine builder.....Or ask some in your class who are willing to share competitive information to get someone going in the right direction

The better coolers like those from Precision do the same amount of work but more efficiently with less loss and a smaller package. The cheaper ones also often need some reinforcements to keep the end tanks on. I've seen precision ones that needed to be reinforced as well though.

There definatley is such a thing as too big of a cooler. You don't want to push the air through a huge core if you don't have too as it's inefficient.

On some classes with smaller cube motors they can run into issues not being able to make enough heat on the line to get spooled up so they will not turn the pumps on until the boost is up.

There's also the real estate issue. If you cram a massive W2A on your tractor, you need to make sure you have room for enough ice so that it can do its job the entire way down the track, you don't really want to run out part way.

The best thing to do is to try and find others with a tractor similar to yours and ask some questions. Usually someone will at least give you some general advice on what size you want and how much ice you might go through. Many turbo and/or engine builders may also have an idea as well.

The one I helped set up on an IH 640 hot/pro farm was a frozen boost Type 12 W2A with fittings added out the back for dual in dual out. Two shurflo aquatiger pumps, one would be turned on at the line and the other would come on with water injection. Ice box would hold 50lbs of ice and it was just enough. Everything was plumbed with 1" hose. Mounted W2A behind headlights with inlet/outlet facing motor, mounted ice box where fuel tank was and pumps underneath it.

The Rule bilge pumps are popular, can flow more and are cheaper than the aquatigers.
