Could anybody tell me the pressure drop and the cfm of a stock intercooler of an fd?



Cheers

Yeah i know it's too much by too small lol



But,



Trying to compare it too a charge cooler to figure out how big it needs to be and if it's feasible or not https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

not much drop and not much cfm. it can barely handle stock turbos at 10psi

I've blown IC couplers off @ stock boost because of the IC

2.5 psi of pressure drop in the stock IC on a stock-turbo FD running 10 psi at 7000 RPM. I think Sport Compact Car did some tests with their Project RX-7 a while back and they measured it (they also measured the ASP/M2 Medium IC at about 1 psi of pressure drop). Or I read it somewhere else. I didn't measure it, and I don't really know if it is accurate or not, but it stuck in my head and seems plausible.
