[DML] More Intercooler info

["Nick" <nicholden@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks Martin for the PRW link. I just took delivery of one of their 
6 x 4 Barrel cooler kits ( the largest i couled fit in with my 
current arangement) . On their web site it is rated to 270hp so i am 
well within the spec's for HP but what i didnt really concider (to 
many other things going on! ) was the fact that, sure it is rated up 
to 270hp but how much does it flow. 

The last thing i want to do is to install it and for it not to flow 
enough and i was better off not having a cooler of that size than 
having one.

I called PWR and the cooler i have is rated to 270hp and flows 
390cfm @ 7psi. They dont have a vaccum flow rate.

I have an Eaton M90 supercharger which currently has a pulley for a 
2:1 ratio (how i got it but it can be changed to a different size). 
see specs here for supercharger flow rates here -

/M90.asp
 
The 90 in M90 means in flows 90cfm per revolution (i'm told)

To be honest i went through all of this on the phone with the guy 
from PWR and i am still very confused as to weather the cooler is 
big enough or i have to bite the bullet and go for a larger cooler 
and re configure the engine bay pipe work completely. He was helpful 
but not well informed.

Any other help would be appreaciated! 

Cheers, Nick
