Have fitted a 60 mm core twin pass to test and i must say it performs very very well,the only fault is the 2 to 3 psi pressure drop from a single pass to the twin pass ,as for coolin the water temps are no diff from before the coolin temps were 4 deg over amb on cruise as near as i could tell but under boost was only just into the 20,s drivin very very hard was well impressesd, reved crisp also.not bad for 2 bar ish
There twin spal fans work so well better than anythin i have used before takes 40 sec from fans kickin in to goin out,dont understand why people have overheatin probs at all anyways i aint got any pics yet but will post some asap.happy so far.


Tim

 

would love to see one, only seen pic on ebay

 

Sounds good Timmy.

Agree with your comments about cooling problems. I think the distinguishing factor is how well maintained the car is. A poorly maintained CVH will over-heat, while a well-maintained one most probably won't.

Glad to hear that you are getting results that are similar to mine with the GRS.

 

Was shocked how well twin pass perform but i think your right about the coolin issues, its given me room at the front that i need for a few things so its stayin on for now,i know the grs performs well from your car but the waiting list wasnt acceptable tbh, anyways be a good comparison to she what it will take in the future as i have an ecu swap looming soon as well as other stuff lol and still on the old engine for now lol

Think Mike G has 1 on his fezzy that was run up at scc and made good power but i may be wrong.

 

pics or stfu or come and show me

 

Sounds good Tim



Hopefully i wont have any cooling issues, As my radiator is being rear mounted

Also going to run twin cossie coolers, Danny B is doing my fab work


Any pics???

 

wheels look better back to silver yes?

been a bit pissed of with it of late,but just nailed a p1 about 4 times lol he even opened window and said thats fast as fuck lol so i told him his was slow dunno how good p1's are lol but it was fun

 

I'd have kept the wheels in Black Tim....


As for the cooler


Looking top mate

 

Why the swap in coolers Tim, just for some extra room?

Cheers

Paul

 

yes paul

 

pics look good tim!

wheels look better black IMO..

P1's are very fast cars. the fastest scoob you can buy in standard form.

well done mate

 

car looks spot on,kidda.i like grey!

was wonderin though that heat wrap stuff you have wrapped around your exhaust,is that any good at keeping heat outta the bay?also where dya get it,expensive?

 

shane its to protect alternator tbh you get it from any motorsport place but it can be a bit expensive.

 

How much is expensive?

 

Ł70 a roll IIRC and a roll will cover a bit more than a Cossie down pipe.

I'll go against the grain and say that the wheels look better silver, because they look like alloy wheels now and not steel wheels.

 

Mates been using one in his 2.1 ZT Fiesta for a few years now. It seems spot on as far as the performance goes

 

Tim,
Your car makes me do a sex wee

I'll start the begging now for you to take me out in it at Croft

 

well testins done old cooler is bein put back on so anyone want a radtec cheap mail me

 

 

bloody hell

 

is it that bad???

 

I suspect that the Radtec can't flow the air and cool it as well as the twin Cossie set up. I would also expect this of the twin pass GRS that I have on my car and any other twin pass cooler....

This is one of the reasons why I will be changing mine eventually for a single pass cooler.

 

i understand mate,might be a bit more simple to fit a twin pass jobbie,but performance isnt that simple

 

Good job im going for a single pass... ( two 2wd coolers like Tims )

 

Struggles to flow over 28 psi other than that its fine ,the cooling was mint if you dont need 28 psi plus there aint no problem

 

OVER 28PSI!!!!!

 

 

No good for me then I don't think....

 

Just cant beat the cos setup - shame it's such a squeeze!

I like wheels in silver too

 

But the Cossie one is a squeeze, of that there is no doubt. Unfortunately fitment does have to be considered, or we would all have truck intercoolers fitted.

Why not fit an RS500 one and be done with it?

That's always been my point with the GRS one, OK, some of you believe that there are issue's with it. However, it does fit.

Also, it does seem to be cooling 30psi OK and I have no real issue's with boost drop. I expect a certain amount, but that's part of the joys of owning a 'small but powerful' car.

 

i was told a 500 cooler needed mods to bodywork (lots)


thats what put me off getting one

 

wheels are gaybar in silver
you change the colour of them more than your lipstick

 

Christian - RS500 intercoolers aren't all that by a long shot. Multiple Behr cores muchos better
