How much boost on stock intercooler?
I'm thinking about running on the track some, but need more air. I'm comparing twins as opposed to NOS. I know both are a strain on the head gasket, and I'm prepared to deal with that. But I am worried about the stock intercooler if I go with twins. How much boost will the stock intercooler handle?

75psi will pop a stock intercooler
|
if the stock one is in good condition, i ran 45 thru mine and the tubes are leaking like mad
|
I'm holding strong at 65 psi here
|
This number is in no means scribed in stone. My advice try it, she'll either go or blow.
|
I was going to keep the stock one, but before putting it back in the truck I thought it would be best to at least leak test it first. Soooo, I filled it with water. Well, lets just say it would work well as a lawn sprinkler. I stopped counting pin holes at about a dozen, but it has plenty more.:td:
So I guess the real question should be, would an aftermarket intercooler be worth spending twice as much as just buying another stock one? I'm thinking probably not.:humm: |
I'll agree with prob not.
|
You rarely hear of stock IC's blowing. Save the cash.
|
stock one buy it...... as far as the psi goes.... i hit 95 then blew mine...... so its all on the intercooler i guess
|
95 pounds of boost? Wat?
