Common problem with the PBR's. Get one off of APS

PBR make brake components!

PWR maybe?

Smart arse parts peddler

What do you expect from Paul Weel, he's now a Expensive Daewoo man. Since the intercoolers are going into fords they are probably building them half arsed.

I have pwr intercooler. on the dyno the air temps were alot lower than the standard cooler but there was no boost gain but hits boost quicker now......... in saying this im not real happy with it because horsepower didnt change..

There are a number of PWR IC’s available.

There have been earlier threads where one or two people have indicated that the stock PWR replacement does not work very well.

I use a much larger PWR IC that works quite well in terms of cooling and pressure drop, and which I ran all summer without engine overheating problems. With my next upgrade I’ll possibly be seeking a larger (thicker core) IC to support higher flow and power levels, so I’ll then check out what’s available at that time.

The reservation I have about too thick a core is the impact on engine temperatures over a full summer period, especially where the whole radiator is covered, so that perhaps a larger radiator will be required.

I know Ford were very concerned about engine temps when undergoing development testing. I’m not trying to be alarmist, but just be wary of vendors who tell you it’ll all be OK.

tell us more about the intercooler you use brain??

cost??

measurements??

pressure drop??

temps in and out??

fitment difficulty??

thanx,

Dave.
