Do I need an intercooler for a ProCharger?
So, on a 50 degree Fahrenheit day, your intake temperature behind the procharger will be a minimum of 102.43 degrees without an intercooler. The compression efficiency will never be 1 due to thermodynamics, so it must be less than 1, which means you’re looking at an even higher temp rise without an intercooler.
Can you use a intercooler with a ProCharger?
For starters, ProCharger uses the highly effective (and durable) “Bar and Plate” design for street/strip intercooler cores-the core itself is not only engineered to be of the proper size for the application, but also the core “spacing” of the bars and plates to ensure proper airflow flow to fluid systems behind the …
How long do ProChargers last?
250,000+ MILES AND STILL TOWING THE FAMILY TOYS! ProChargers engineering staff works diligently to make sure that years and years of trouble-free ownership is common no matter if we are talking 50k, 100k, or even 200,000 miles or more!
What RPM does a ProCharger kick in?
You really start to feel it come on around 3500 RPMs. You really start to feel it come on around 3500 RPMs.
What RPM does the ProCharger spin at?
With the most aggressive internal step-up ratio in the ProCharger lineup of 5.63:1, the supercharger is rated for a maximum impeller speed of 72,000 rpm. Those numbers, in conjunction with the engine’s maximum RPM, will become important when calculating the drive sizes for this supercharger.
Can you put an intercooler on a supercharger?
Intercoolers also enable your engine to produce more horsepower because of the denser air charge being delivered to the engine’s combustion chamber. Don’t assume, however, that you can simply bolt an intercooler on to your supercharged engine and expect power gains with no other changes to the system.
How do I get more boost out of my supercharger?
The amount of air pressure over normal atmospheric pressure a supercharger develops is called “boost.” Spinning the same belt-driven blower faster at a given rpm generates more boost. This is accomplished by changing the ratio between the crank pulley and the drive pulley.
Why choose ProCharger intercoolers?
ProCharger intercoolers are also of the highest quality, always manufactured at the ProCharger plant in Kansas City. ProCharger not only tests to ensure the pressure drop across the core’s flow path is at its absolute lowest, but also checks for proper temperature reduction between inlet and outlet.
Why choose ProCharger superchargers?
Everyone knows that ProCharger is committed to building industry leading superchargers systems for street cars/trucks, and that we are almost unrivaled in the racing market.
What is the difference between a stage 2 and a race intercooler?
The Stage 2 intercooler is standard with its high flow vertical core design, and the Race intercooler option is for truck racing applications, or where low speed/high load conditions demand even higher intercooling efficiency (such as towing, etc).
What kind of intercooler core does the Ho have?
The HO intercooler features a highly efficient crossflow intercooler core for stock or slightly modified applications. Our Stage 2 offering swaps to a large side to side flow core that is 3.5″ thick offering great flow for modified applications pushing the power levels.
