Dont go together!

Been out for a nice drive mainly just going slow cruising about But had a little blast with a Motorbike the car feels more sluggish and when i was on full chat the SEC's monitor went ape cos my ACT's where going over 55C Ouch i think i need better intercooler and WI

Also out for a nice drive on Sunday, as seems everyone is with a nice car as there are loads about. I seen two Speed camera Both on a dual carraigeway aswell! I mean WTF i thought they was to reduce accidents and not to raise money so why have them on a safe road? Luckly i was under the speed limit each time

 

Proof if ever you need it that RS500 style intercoolers are infact pretty wank and WI is needed on Cossies, OR a decent front mounted cooler far thicker and mounted behind the front bumper.

OR just a shitload of std cossie ones welded together like has been done a few times...

 

Yeah i know i need a better cooler as i only got a pace one, as it was cheap But WI and a better FMC is next on the wish list i think

 

Regarding the speed cameras I noticed your country is very clever placing them mostly in citys, villages etc where its good to keep the speed down.

Over here the stupid coonts place them on the highways instead of outside a school or kindergarten.

 

The British police would put a speed trap outside a school, but only at 10pm on a Sunday night

 

Andreas belive me they dont do that!! 90% of the time i see them on fast dual carriage way or in lane country roads which is national speed limit (60mph)

 

most rs500 coolers are fitted behind the front bumper.....

 

How about using a tiny shot of nos instead of water to call ACT's ?

I was wondering about it on my way back from bristol this morning. Have it so that a little shot goes in if the temps are above a certain amount

Dunno if it's possible

 

Wim-

No you goon...

They are tall thin intercoolers that go right from top to bottom, bumper AND grille.

Most modern intercoolers are purely bumper mounted (so dont have as much surface area) but much much thicker.

The one on my car is only 300mm tall but 165mm thick, and good for well over 1000bhp...

Frog-

Yea, that would work, but would be fucking expensive, wheras water is free. Also more complex as would need to add the corresponding amount of fuel as there is Oxygen in Nitrous...

 

Steve,

Fair comment. I'll go and make something up with a water bottle, garden hose and some sprinklers Much easier than Gas

 

its corrosive though, not clever on a road car used a lot. Toluene would be much better.

 

what is?

 

Toluene = Horrible nasty stuff

 

doesnt it depend on what turbo you got....

a r34 on 30psi put more hot air in the intercooler then a t4 with 25psi does...or am i wrong...

 

Nope, your very correct.

 

hello?

 

think he means the water steve

 

Water is corrosive to an engine???



Ive heard its better to use distilled (or whatever it is) water as it takes out the lil bits of hard particles thats in water, but thats all.
