We have discussed this a few times in other threads, I wanted to try to "nail" down some numbers and what I would really be looking at.
In multiple forums 8psi seems to be the magic number for when an intercooler needs to be added. My question is why 8 psi? What is the compressor doing at 8psi t cause the need? At what temperatures is it required? Is pressure the determining factor, or is it temperature?
Here are the charts for the M112:
Again:
Pulleys:
Crank: 8"
M112: 3.2 (will have to order)
Ratio: 2.5:1
Bottom RPM 750 (Blower Speed 1875 rpm)
Top RPM 5000 (Blower Speed 12500 rpm)
Base on those charts it looks like Delta T is 180F. Assuming intake temps of 100 degrees thats only 280F. That doesn't seem that hot???
