Does someone use any CHARGECOOLER UPGRADE KIT like this one:
?

What are the opinions?

Or is it more reasonable to buy RS500 type cooler?
I want to avoid increasing lag.

you will only benefit by upgrading the charge cooler if you do a lot of traffic or 1/4 mile driving / races.

the 500 cooler is the best option and will be needed at high boost levels.

the lag should not increases to a notable level and should make it more responsive....

the 500 cooler only works when you are moving ( which is most of the time !! )

get one you wont regret it !!!

Ive got the GRS upgrade kit on mine

(thats a picture of my car there too as it used to belong to Graham who runs GRS )

I've got no problems with the kit, but am upgrading to a ProAlloy 500 spec wideboy jobbie ready for when the power levels are increased.... - I'm only running stage 1 at the moment

but the srtandard cars run a charge cooler, ok, its not on a separate water supply but it still must work.

Dave, this uses water which isnt near boiling point so the cooler is more efficient plus it has a pre rad to help cool the water

i thought that but why not get a bigger type cooler,rs 500 sized one.

be a bit awkward to mount the charge cooler rad too,where would it fit.

Damo V

goes in front of the normal rad, I agree though just go straight to 500 type

Ok! I guess I didn't give enough info.

Now I have 1.7bar ( 25pci) boost and I can make such a device by myself.
I wonder if such kit would be good enough for this power (about 330bhp).

But I'm planing to install 403 inj-s, chip, turbo (by the way, which one whould you recommend for 430-450bhp with good response) and so on.
This way have I change I/C or my upgrated cooller would be enough?


Thanks a lot!

i have the charge cooler upgrade on mine, very pleased with it, i have a much bigger header tank than the one in your pic its a mirror image type one

the chargecooler kit is meant to be good for 400bhp but not much more.

Hi guys - sorry to bring up this old topic, but how much do upgrade kits generally go for (s/h of course) - either with the original i/c, or on their own...
Cheers

Gregs

Gregs

bloody hell, that is cheap

Gregs

the only bargin i have ever seen on ebay for a cosworth lol

Gregs

did 150 miles in mine yesterday, and gave it some stick too, charge temps never went above 22 i know it was a cold day but think this set up is still a choice for stage 3-4

Arnie

what kind of power level can the standard one handle?
