i have just installed 2 remote thermocouples, one before and one after my intercooler, and hooked them up to a dual input dick smith hand held temperature thingy. The difference between input and output is a constant 25 degrees. Max it gets is 55 deg post intercooler, with egts peaking at 420. Are this readings good, average or poor?
Oh, and the cars a 3.9 isuzu powered 110 with a rb20 turbo and toyota water to air intercooler.

The more heat you can get out, the better.
But it's very easy to get the first few degrees out and very difficult to get the last few degrees out.
55 deg post intercooler is fine, but what was your max temp before the intercooler?
If it was 100 deg or higher (say 12psi upwards) then that's great. But if it was only 70 deg then it's not so flash.
Calculation for intercooler effectiveness
E = (Tair_in - Tair_out)/(Tair_in -Tambient)
Efficiency as a word doesn't apply to intercoolers as they're only moving heat, no changing energy from one form to another.
