If making 450 hp with 1300cc on the long, how many gallons worth of ice is needed.
Worried about going too small.

How big is your holding tank? We use around 4 to 5 large bags of ice per run. We hold around 20 gallons of water.  |

You could use math and figure out just how much you need (boost, comp eff, IC eff, etc), but how about just use as big as you can comfortably swing? Not much cost to going too large.

Up front to compensate for driver weight? Your inter cooler must weigh a good amount as well. I guess it would matter most if you were traction limited, if so put it in the back. |

I think 12 gal would be plenty, if to big you don't have to fill it but if to small then your hurtin.

Joe Yea it would depend on the cfm of blower and temp that needs to be cooled in jonny's case the cfm is probably not a lot in the 222 camaro at one time we were cooling 5600 cfm at a temp of 375 degrees JL222 |

yep...he gave us the cfm via the hp......and efficiency via particular turbo....and the temp via the boost number.... im only speaking from experience....with that cfm....and that turbo efficiency....and that boost range...(+/- a couple cfm, a fraction of a percent eff, and a lb or so boost)............ course that also assumes....x amt heat transfer eff of intercooler.....

Joe I always thought that pulling a beer out of the intercooler after a run would make a great commercial. JL222 |
