Air to air intercooler size? February 20, 2020 06:42AM
I'm making my tractor's intercooler now. I have room for maximum 20"x 16" x.... core. I was planning to mount 2 cores (back and forth)
local shop is offering me 3.7"x 20"x16" industrial cores.
I'm planning to use cheap China 80W 10"x2 + 7"x2 fans to push air and same set for pulling air through. They have to move air through water radiator to.
(2x1300CFM+2x800CFM)
I can use only air to air intercooler no water.

I have 290 cid engine 3000 rpm, turbo is making 70 psi


Is this cooler idea good or am I just overthinking?

I came to this idiotic idea that my setup will be to big to my engine, that I need to hold air longer in the intercooler. That I need thinner cores but use them more so air can be move two times back and forth.
Air temperature should be something like 570-660F what is coming out from the turbo.

I don't think you can be too big. You aren't building boost and then getting out of the throttle to shift gears and then rebuilding boost over and over again like a semi truck would be doing. You are building boost on the line and easing out on the clutch. Go for it.

Cooler came out like this, one core is 4.5" thick.
From engine side is going hot air in.

Connect cooler in parallel not series to lower restriction and go with good flexa-lite fans to
Double the cfm for better efficiency. My 2 cents
