Just fitted mine today,do they generally give you a small rise in boost pressure,and on average how much more power ?

 

i got another 30 horse from fitting my cooler, but that also let me run another couple of psi.

the increase in power is from the raised boost pressure.
the cooler just makes it the charge temp lower in turn letting you run more boost

 

Cheers euan roll on spring time till i go to ava .

 

what turbo is on it??

 

Just a standard one i think but im after a t34.

 

cool!

get a t34 with 63 housing and you'll be jamming!

300ATW is a possiblity with a good stage three engine and that turbo

300 ATW is fecking quick!

 

Whats that at the fly ? Be nicer with 400 at the wheels like yours !!!!!

 

300 atw wheels is probs about 340 ish at the fly??

400 atw is usless in this weather cant get grip at all!

 

to measure your hp AVA will run your car in third.

mines was ran in 4th due to it wheels spinning on the rollers in 3rd.

if we could get grip in 3rd mine would prob do closer to 420 ATW

 

420 atw sooooooooooooooooperb .

 

that is estimated power....

as are all rolling roads figs

would love to get the engine out and put it on a dyno for a true figure

 

Well hopefully ava can get me 330 atw or more.

 

Depends which one you fit!

 

no way they can get that power on standard compression, cams etc.

300 atw wheels is best to expect before ripping the engine to bits

would also need to change the greens for blues or maybe even greys

 

Doh! meant 300 not 330.

 

yeah would be nice to see 300.

thats defo the limit for greens.

mines had the comp ratio lowered abit but apart from that was a standard engine.

It made 287 atw, running a t34 with a 55 back

 

pmsl at ATW power figures are all estimated

if that's the case, why bother putting it on the rollers to 'measure' it?

 

most turbo cars never make the exact same power figs twice.

things like air temps, charge temps make massive differences.

unless its engine out and on a dyno is always an estimate in my eyes

 

No m8,what he said was all rolling road figures are estimates and he'd rather put it on an engine dyno to check it.

 

a std internal engine, except H/G can make 360bhp @ fly on blues and t34 surely,

and on a larger turbo, say t4 and greys will see 420@fly.

 

Got my pro alloy cooler fitted yesterday to.

Car does seem nippier and smoother . Surely not 30bhp gain though, Thought it was more like 10 ?

Where do you have your Dump Valve (if u have one). Mine was coming out of the small outlet on the ford cooler but the new pro one doesnt have that.

 

I can only discuss power on AVA rollers as thats all i have experence in using.

300 at wheels on AVA rollers would prob be about 350 flyon a rollers down south.

 

dump valve re-located to cold side of engine.

you either need a new inlet hose with dump valve take off or you can get a fitting kit from halfords.

is a metal t piece that means you have cut the hose and fit this in the middle.

 

I don't run a dump valve m8,but have blanked it off on the cold side hose.

 

Ill swap hoses lol. My cold side doesnt have a dv take off.

You know where i could get one ? Cant afford a full boost kit this month after buying the cooler

 

If it's a blue samco you have then it's a deal ! Check out e bay m8 many a bargain hose wise on there.

 

Ah never noticed ur reply rapid. Dont fancy using the fitting kit would prefer a proper hose. Once i do get one is it simply a case of cutting the vacum pipe smaller ?

 

Have checked ebay. nothing at the moment. will keep lookin. its just a standard hose ive got at the mo.

Ive still got the dump valve connected to the vacum pipe but going into nothing (just cable tied up). Will this do any harm or should i blank of the vacum end until i sort a new hose ?

 

Personally i would blank off the vacum end.

 

Without sounding stupid how do i do that lol

 

Either fit a proper blank or do as you've done with the hose already.

 

Right roose motorsport do individual hoses just need to make sure i get the right one

Is the one i need intercooler to standard sierra cosworth throttle body ?

And, do i need 70mm or 76mm ?

Thet have a page advert in performance ford

 

Yeah m8 intercooler to throttle body .

I thought it was more like 63mm.

 

says 70 or 76 in advert. It will be the same as the standard ford size as there both the same.

 

my car made 300 atw once and was estimated at 371 at the flywheel. on a 2wd saff btw but that was on greys 63 t34 etc

 

I'm quoting engine dyno figures, not RR guess work figure @ fly as you quote.

Aint Avo RR a home built set up? not a dig, just a question as that wot i got told.

in fact a good std rs500 engine set up on greys make 430bhp@ fly with no problems in the 80's early 90's.

 

AVA did design and build thier rolling road...

It is regarded as one of the best in britain
