depends on the make of the cooler and boost

I had 50 deg at the end of the runway doing 185.

Pro alloy running 35 psi in a cold day in November.

Havent had a chance to to do any testing on the road.

new cooler keeps temps down under 40 on the rollers

Its how the cooler holds up on long high speed runs that shows how its performing.

dont think my old shonky saph will do many high speed runs m8.

Steve

rapidcossie

doesnt need to be HIGH speed but hold it over a ton and watch the charge temps creep up.

Moonstone Steve.

iTrader: (2)

will try it, wots sort of temp is to high though.

Steve

rapidcossie

things really need to be kept under 50 ideally 40 IMO

Thanks m8, will find out wot my cooler is like as it hasnt got a name to it so was wondering how good it will be.

i agree.


i use my brakes in 3rd gear to get the ACT's higher than normal, then release the brakes and go thro to full speed.

This will show ACT's go 50oC+ and then the intercooler bringing the temp down, and then it will sastain (sp) a set ACT's.

On every car i do this, the results are always the same.

i saw 46c max on a calculated 170mph run in 25 degree ambient
t34/55 2 bar held, rs500 style radtech cooler, 830max egt

i see 48 max at about 140mph stge3 airtec cooler on a hot day
but usually dont see anything over 40 other times

rapidcossie

Ah cooler seems to perform a bit better than my normal pro alloy one then?

I know its not as cut and shut as that but you know what i mean.

Ian M500COS

Mine runs 28-32 Dec.C Normally even when giving it beans. Never seen it above 40 Deg!

I've always said AH Intercoolers are the bollocks, yet they always get overlooked by 'prettier' rivals.

Fiecos Dan

i think so, it did do better in the PF feature (even tho not really a good test.

the only real way of telling is a Proper/accurate test on 1 car.

i've got a new setup comin in 2 days, with alot better end tank design, and a newer designed core (same size).
My old one is 3 years old, and i designed the end tanks to fit the car, but this time i'm making the car fit the inter.


Hi Ian,


i have to admit, its not spit polish finish, but as you say it performs 100%, and still nice to look at.

I believe Alex was the first to get a 500 intercooler Right, and the rest just looked and followed.
how old your cooler?

rapidcossie

Intercooler test needs to be done on a runway on a car running over 2 bar.
