Hey guys...

Maybe im not searching correctly. Just kinda looking for some recommended specs on an intercooler (piping size, cooling area, etc.)

Thanks!

anything really that you can fit in the front(i dont think that there is enough room to really go to big, but could be wrong), and run 2.25-2.5in piping.

Cool. I just remember reading I dont want something too small to cool enough air for a VG30. Especially since I think I'm going to end up doing a blown 3.8

Try a turbocharged 3.8. From a Buick GN. Now that would be cool. And there was a Viper engine for sale here on craigslist awhile back. That would be different.

I certainly would NOT boost a VG thats bored out to 3.8L. Cylinder walls would be to thin for boost IMO.

I was looking at a intercooler unit, and when I asked the guy about the size of it he said,

"its big, dimensions are probably 3.5'ft wide 1 ft tall and about 3'' thick if i had to guess."

He also said he thinks the inlet is 2.75, and the outlet is 2.25.
I remember reading somewhere that 2.5 and below is optimal, is that correct?
