ok guys due to how my engine bay is set out im looking into getting a pace chargecooler kit,does anyone know how much boost and power i can run through one,ive been offered one at a reasonable price so any advise would be appreciated

 

Save your money and get a decent intercooler.

Charge coolers are shit.

 

I would tend to agree with T28,get a proper front mount intercooler (GRS).Regards,Micky

 

grs/pro alloy which would be best,the problem is i have a custom alley rad which covers most of the front,and dont really have room for massive cooler

 

Chargecoolers seem to be a thing of the past now on rst's, the old pace ones just don't work as well as a good front mount. If you're only wanting 170bhp or somethin i guess it would do the job.

 

From personnal experience watching my ACT's on track,I know my GRS is doing a great job,never more than 10C over ambient.I always laugh when someone recommends a intercooler based on a blast up the by-pass,thats not a test,but 15 mins around Donno or Croft in the summer is!!!Regards,Micky

 

lol you may as well keep with the standard set up for the hp,how much should i be paying for a grs?

 

Yeah the fact you never see one on the bigger bhp cars must tell you somethin From memory my grs was about Ł400 invluding the 2 fans, think the intercooler on its own is around the Ł250 mark, was a few years ago that i got one though.

 

Give them a ring concerning the price,heres the website

cheers guys,its more the fitment that would be concerning me as ive not done like every rst,all the bay has been de-cluttered.smoothed,thats a reasonable price dave,more or less what i would be spending on a chargecooler, thankyou very much,il give them a call micky

 

just to add an arguement from the charge cooler side, i have a grs charge cooler with an enlarged rad and my ACT's are not a prob at all even in traffic. just food for thought buddy
