Do you have data for them? How do they compare to the others out there, size for size, for those that publish the data? The price is very reasonable and they would likely fly off the shelves if we had back to back testing compared to stock ones. Have you done this?

 

I dont have back to back testing since we always do turbo upgrades at the same time.....I do have intake air temps from this car before so I will post all the info once they are installed.

My intake air temps running Chris's IC sitting in traffic around town are running 98 - 104, not bad for how hot its been here this summer.

 

You hear all these numbers and sizes thrown around, are these 2.5in, 3in, 3.5 in??? Did you notice a difference in spool time or boost recovery after shifting, etc...?

 

Wish I had some kind of data to share, baseline dyno was supposed to be done before the USP IC install, but wasn't Price was right for me, data was lacking a bit, but Chris' car has represented well at the strip, so I went for it.

 

Of all the parts we can get for our Cars, Intercoolers are the ones with the least data to back up everyone's claims.. I have still not seen any real definitive figures for flow, temps, pressure drop and any real before and after results.. It's one of the reasons I haven't bought Intercoolers yet.. I just can't find enough empirical data to support my buying decision...

 

I feel the same way, and while ANYTHING is probably better than the stock units, I hate to just buy anything for any reason.

all the info, car definitely runs stronger, haven't tracked it yet to really tell, hopefully sometime this fall, running Broakway r1000 but didn't have it until after I installed IC's so I didn't compare to stock?

 

If someone local has a car I will do the back to back dynos for free if they want....problem is all my customers already have the cores on the car.

I don't BS when it comes to testing I will show back to back dyno's and logs.

 

Send a set up to Tony and we'll try them on my car.

 

pm me I will..

 

Question on the coolers: The website lists an efficiency of (89%) & pressure drop (<1%), is there data to show this? Bear in mind that 89% efficiency would imply charge temps ~10C above ambient under all conditions for any length of time (this is better than Secan)

Any shots of the inside of the core itself?

 

say when

 

Nice! who's car is that for ? As far as intercooler morph debate, in FLA 90+ degrees most of time cant go wrong and most other knowledgable tuners have tested and said overwhelmingly that it is most underated upgrade. Cool air is key! I recall at chris's when we did inital dyno with just 16gs on pump gas first run was 509whp and than a few runs right after and the hp kept going down with stock ICs. It was 94 degrees that day.

The funny thing is its not like there is real "impirical" data supporting buying a other add-ons like snorkal air filter lol or even plenum (plenum for lower bhp cars) for xtra phantom hp yet people do it. Those upgrades are pyscological I think as I have friend with convert C4s that has 385hp he installed a plenum and air filter so now he brags he has over 400hp, yet when he wanted to race I have to ask him if he is even at WOT, car was as slow as a amc gremlin or H1.

 

Keep us updated when you install this kit! It will be interesting to see the numbers using the E85, might want to make me switch and drive a little to the closest station rather than waiting for a station to come to our area!
