aps Member 1,505 Member For: 21y 11m 25d Posted 23/07/04 08:43 AM Share Posted 23/07/04 08:43 AM Gi Guys,I've been reading a few threads here on intercooling lately and it is becoming apparent to me that the issues being discussed are either irrelevant to the XR6T and/or have come from experience with small capacity turbocharged engines. To make it worse (or even more confusing) the important issues regarding the role of an intercooler system are being ignored.The XR6T is a vehicle that demands a departure from traditional intercooler design and a clean slate approach was warranted due to the unique requirements of the T.To assist anyone who is interested in learning about the issues involved in intercooler design and specification specifically for the XR6T, a discussion piece has been placed on the APS web site that explains what the T needs.See http://www.aps-xr6t.com/falcon/intercooler/intercooler.htmI trust that the discussion piece is informative and enlightening.

Guest Scootre Guests Posted 24/07/04 10:10 PM Share Posted 24/07/04 10:10 PM Great web site, George. The intercooler info is great... especially because I'm a dope when it comes to things mechanical. Do yourself a favour... run a spell check over your site and it'll look a whole lot better... (it's philosophy not phylosophy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason Im asking is the piping runs across the engine and I would imagine picks up some heat from this, and expands as a result.thanksHaving had a look at a intercooler setup after the car has had a few runs, the piping gets very hot and Im assuming this affects the performance of the engine.
