Let me guess.... T25?
Building for a HE351VE, aiming for 60-70lb/min at 50psi.

The Controller

Meth injection = much easier, don't you think?
What is in reach? The hood will not close correctly with that in your car. Take some measurements and calculate the surface area of that thing. Yes it has huge frontal area but it is what 1.25" thick? This is why most intercoolers on our cars are 2.5" to 4" thick. Smaller frontal area but same or maybe even more surface area.
So it probably does have more surface area than MOST other intercoolers. I bet my 4" GReddy core had close to the same surface area though. Other than WOW factor using this on your car is just not a wise venture.
For real. Your not really putting that on your car are you?
I agree. The "wow" factor being "wow, look at this idiot with a big rig intercooler on his 4 cylinder". People running 9s and 10s surfice with a normal 3" core, i dont get it..
Of course I'm serious. You guys are brutal. I have an AEM meth injection system as well. 9:1 at 50psi needs meth no matter what the charge temp may be. I'd prefer a low charge temp so I can use less meth.
I know of another car that ran 50 psi and didn't even have an intercooler. The owner's name was John Shepherd. He didn't just use meth to cool the intake charge, he burned it and ran 7's.

A working VGT turbo with custom controller is a cool idea and if you can make it happen it will be awesome, hopefully you have a great background in control systems engineering because the feedback engineering makes my head hurt just thinking about it, and im in controls classes right now! As for the intercooler, Im with everyone else, even if you do fit the intercooler on the car, you are taking the cooling efficiency thing a bit far. I would think there is a much better method of cooling your charge air then using an intercooler that stands as tall as your car when standing on end. A super thick core would be a much more effective option I would think. Hell you might even be able to do what the 3000gt guys are doing and get a couple super efficient cores welded together like they do with our stockers. Couple it with meth and some e85 and you should be good to go, but this massive intercooler thing is way to far left field. Im keeping tabs regardless!
People have ran close to the 40psi on pump gas with 11.5:1 CR. I can't tell you who has but he made 650whp on pump. There is more to it than turning the boost up and thinking your Jesus and will make 600+ HP.
Why stop at 50psi? Why not shoot for 190psi? Its just a number, easy enough to type in, just do it.
Will you have to trim the hood also? Any updates?
Dude. Everyone who's got something negative to say on this thread really should've just moved along. I think this is absolutely awesome, regardless of how functional it is or crazy it looks. Let the guy mod his car and quit getting your panties in a bunch because you're jealous he has a cooler car than yours.
Good work OP. This is more ambitious than 90% of people on here would even consider attempting. You sir, are a real dsmtuner in my mind. Don't let these guys or your wife stop you from doing what you want with your time, money and car.

So according to you, we shouldnt give feedback? He made a thread asking for feedback.... "regardless of how functional or crazy it looks" is a hilarious statement. hahahahahah Thanks for the insight!
Just doing something to do it, without a benefit is the definition of stupidity. Why throw time and money into a "project" that yields no real results? Just to say you did it? If you have that much time on your hands, you need a better hobby. Im all about fabrication and one off projects, but only if they serve some purpose weather it be functionality or appearance. This is just ridiculous. You guys crack me up!!
