dont worry about pics i checked out your site, but how does it go ?

avandull · Post by **avandull** » Fri Apr 15, 2005 8:47 pm

They go excellent as far as I can tell. Never had my Haltech system record the air intake temp over 60degrees. They are a pretty thin intercooler so the flow of it is lower than in the thicker intercoolers, but they have a very large surface area so they cool very effectively. And they're cheap.

And what's all this about bling?

I'm not into shiny stuff, in fact I'm about to paint the car with red killrust... with a brush.

It's not pretty but it'll keep the rust at bay.

I wouldnt call 60 degrees excellent....

Is that the most you have seen, or what it normally gets?

what's the lag like Mr Darkelf?

No truck. Out of the back of a skyline! :D

As Charlie says. No lag. The manifold temp was running at around 80 deg before installation causing pinging when under load. After installation the temp was a flat 20 deg under all conditions.

The horns are triple air horns and yes they are quite good at scaring people, dogs, small babies and doddering old fools who hog the outside lane! :)

There are other pics around but if you want some info just PM me. Happy to help if I can.

60 degrees is what I get after lap 5 around Baskerville going flat out. It normally sits at abient air temp.

that sounds excellent, I have an skyline R33 cooler that I'm thinking of using, however this guy at work reckons it'll double the lag, so he's put me off it. I might reconsider after doing after what you've said..

Don't listen to what anyone says about lag. You will get boost earlier than you do now. I would go for something bigger than the R33 cooler.

this would be my staza's cooler... dont have a pic here in good ol' whyalla to show the plumbing... but i reckon most people would have seen just about every way you can plumb one up... :beer

wouldn't the air just blow over the frount of your cooler and under the car?

you should fit a fin or something to force the are threw the cooler

seems to work perfectly fine... thats what i thought when my mate told me thats how he is going to mount it... coz if it were straight it would of hung down to low or would of been hidden by the front bar... i have a advaced spoiler at home so should work better once that is on... but i am impressed with the power... after fitting it i did lose some pressure... before the cooler i took it to the dyno am made 92 kw at 13psi.. took it back after the cooler was on an made 101.6 at 9 psi... i was happy...made an extra 9.6 kw at the wheels but dropped 4 psi...
