I am going to swap to a W/A Intercooler on my truck , any one have any experience with them ? Any brand to look at or steer clear of ? I have found a kit from "frozen boost " that i may buy unless some one has other recomendations ? The companies have to offer a cooler that will suport 1500+ cfm or be rated for 1200-1500 HP ( dont plan on making that much but it needs to flow that much ) .

I'll call them Monday, and see about a disc. They have a pretty good tech, so you will need to call as well. You might need a different unit then me!

PWR makes a pretty sweet one-4" in/out, straight through flow.

Mick has been running one for awhile and says good things about it.

I looked at that one , it looks nice , its about 400-500 more than the one that i can get from Frozen boost , I may just have to try the one I have been looking at and see how it works out :thumb: which one did Simon go with ? I cant remember the brand ?

I'd call and make sure they will handle the boost our trucks make. Most gasser application stuff isn't designed for our boost.

70 psi is what it said for max boost on the frozen boost site. I've always kind of wondered if you pressurize the water to say 30psi then run 100psi boost doesn't that bring the overall pressure on the cores back to 70psi? Kind of like having the water offset the higher boost stress on the cores. Thoughts?

The problem with trying to pressurize the water is you have to restrict the flow or run a stupidly large pump to do it. Restricting flow means less heat transfer and a monsterous pump means more weight and amperage draw.

70psi wont cut it on a Dmax with big compounds.

Makes sense, I was speculating on water's pressure inward keeping boost where it needs to be. I'm assuming a large set of compounds have to be good for 100+psi on a Dmax?

The most expensive ones i have found arent rated much higher , Russ's Place I am shure could build a core with thicker metal used for the tanks . I will have to make some calls next week and see what options are out there and compare #'s

I didnt look at my boost on my 11.0 pass and havent ran it turned up since , i figure the twins i have now would put out maybe 65-75 psi depending on how much heat you through at it , but Nathan is right if i go bigger the frozen boost unit probably wont cut it .

I have a water to air from Bell that I ran 75psi through on my '02 Dodge years ago so I know they will handle that. It's rated for 2500 gas hp with 4" inlets and outlets. It's big and heavy though. I would ask around compD about water to air IC's. The puller guys use a couple different companies they say will handle the really high boost.
