hey guys, i was wondering to about what power level i can safely run with my current intercooler. i currently have a 18"x12"x3" intercooler and i was just curious as to how much horsepower/boost i could get out of it safely. Could i run more boost on the same intercooler if i ran water-methanol injection?

its hard to give a set #.
for that size intercooler (i will assume its an ebay brand) i would imagine somewhere around 250-300whp that it would get heatsoaked pretty quickly. the big drawback of the cheap intercoolers that are out there is they just arnt as efficent. they do work well for the price, but they tend to heatsoak pretty quickly VS a high quality intercooler of the same basic design. WI definetly helps fight off detonation, and will allow you to run more boost than you would without it. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
