Intercooler With No Cutting Involved?

[stedz101]

yeah look sorry bout that, bit hard to show tone of voice on the forums. gotta work on that. Wasnt attacking em just my 2 cents worth that's all. that last pic explains what you mean well. Only top tank visible.

I did a tune on a MkI XR6T manual yesterday, fitted with my old Auto Sport Engineering intercooler and new injectors. It already had a full exhaust including dump pipe fitted. It made 244rwkw @ 14psi.

After a comprehensive retune including new injector scaling for the new injectors, but running the same boost level as before, power jumped up to 289rwkw.

That's a 45rwkw gain from injectors, intercooler and tune.

A good result, and another reason why I'm convinced the ASE intercoolers are a good investment.

Ive now fitted 7 ASE coolers, Ive used both the tube and fin and bar and plate, I havent yet used a wog cooler but at this stage the ASE cooler would be one of the best ive seen for performance apart from the Nizpro, I did an XR6T that comes from Broome yesturday, it has Dump cat, ase cooler, injectors, vavle springs. and is only allowed to run 95 ron fuel, made 275 rwkw on 14 pounds boost and 680 nm. The only intercooler I would use over the ase is the Nizpro(AT this stage).

Milz's 11 second dunlop street tyres XR6T has an ASE cooler .

So Simon,

Which one of the ASE coolers do you think performs better and why?

Tube and fine or bar and plate?

[Xtreme F6]

The Tube and fin seems to provide more over all power but doesnt give as good as repeatability on the dyno, the bar and plate seems to be able to keep intake temps down longer pull after pull. Keeping in mind this is only with the ASE coolers, my Nizpro Tube and fin is great for repeatablilty, when we did the recent photo shoot for PSC magazine I was able to show Trevor (Owner and writter for the mag) how little the temps changed allowing it to keep with a couple of rwkw's with 3 runs back to back.

So it all depends on wat you use the car for and where you use it. Street car in cool climate its correct to assume a tube and fin would be a better option due to less intake restriction, where as for a more race orientated car your looking for a bar and plate. I do recall simon from nizpro saying that he uses a K&J core for his coolers.

again like I said alreadsy this is only from what ive seen on the ASE coolers and does not need apply to all cores.

That all sounds intresting to me

dw....no just the corect bar and plate

bar and plate in 90+% of cases is the way to go it just needs to be correctly sized

this is best left to experts for sizing but its not hard to see what they offer and ge something similar!

core flows do differ same as eficiancy as such for the budget cooler go the wog cooler you wont beat it period!

for medium budget go bar and plate with shorter plumbing like wog cooler no1 or even nizpro kit the rajab will fit this catagory to almost

for those after the ultimate then wog cooler no2 or better again aps phiii cooler or wog cooler no3

aps phiii and wog no3 require air cond mods

this is a summary of the coolers I have seen and tested there may be others out soon that may fit the bill

[Romulus]

Dynowog, the APS III and Wog #3 coolers, are they tube and fin or bar and plate?

I've sent you a pm.
