Whats the deal with the Pro Alloy FMIC...

I've seen a few people changing away from them... whats up with them?

 

think something about too high acts at a certain level, u cant beat the GRS IMO

 

They will be testing my car very soon as it comes out the bodyshop with a new core let hope its going to work

 

Have you got Pro Alloy?

 

last time i looked yep

 

Same here...

Let me know how your testing goes...

 

My Testing went like this......

Pro Alloy Custom Cooler - 63mm Core - Single Pass vs GRS Evo 5 50mm Core - Twin Pass

1.9 Bar Boost - Approximately 10°C Ambient Temp.

Pro Alloy - My ACT Gauge couldn't read it (it stops at 70°C).

GRS - 35°C Maximum.

I personally think the RST NEEDS Twin Pass.

 

 

 

Come on Tone, thats a bit harsh.

I just think that the RST is alot more sensitive to Intercooler configuration that any other car, probably due to the close proximity of the Intercooler to the Radiator and Turbo, with shite airflow etc.

I also wonder if the Pro Alloy cooler simply has flow characteristics that are too good. i.e. The air doesn't spend long enough inside the Cooler to get properly Cooled!

 

Isn't it only a worry on BIG powered RST's?

 

yes it is that y pro want to sort it out

 

At least Pro Alloy are looking at the problem with the intention of sorting the issue rather than sweeping it under the carpet.

 

Have they done anything to improve it yet?

 

cant go wrong with radtec in my opinion. my mate has one on his and its never fluttered an eye lid with 22psi hence whilst the iminent purchase of one

 

i got a radtec FMI for sale if you interested mate...pm me

 

Does anybody know the difference between GRS EVO4 and EVO5??

 

Modded core size i think, Christian will know tho!

 

Single pass cossie is the daddy...

 

Yes, Graham has taken 1 Tube from the Core Height to give better clearance (this tube was hidden behind the Bonnet anyway) and as a result of my suggestion, he now makes the End Tanks out of Fewer Pieces, therefore increasing the Strength.

Top work IMO and proved itself beyond reasonable doubt yesterday!!
