LightningXR6T Member 197 Member For: 19y 11m 8d Location: Newcastle NSW Posted 25/10/06 11:03 PM Share Posted 25/10/06 11:03 PM Looking at putting a larger intercooler on my T. For my own reasons I will be running the factory (MKII) tune.What effects do you think it would have ie: power, torque, boost and AFR's. Or would it have little effect.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

For your ease of mind simply put it on the dyno to ensure safe afrs. The factory ecu should allow for those tolerances produced by the cooler... at worst, if the dyno run shows something unsafe, get an edit, or take the cooler off.

Or would it have little effect.My 2 cents worth...Cooling the intake charge will improve its density which means more oxygen crammed into each combustion chamber... so long as the ECU recognises this and the injector duration and flow is sufficient then you should be able to have more fuel in each charge.In terms of torque, this means an increase in comparison to a non-intercooled charge... in terms of a large intercooler, ceterius paribus, you are likely to have better power particularly on hot days, repeated standing starts etc due to more consistent boost and intake chargeNote that this assumes the following: - the plumbing for the larger intercooler doesn't introduce any additional restrictions - the air flow through the larger intercooler is as good as the original - the mounting position suits the larger intercooler - that the ECU is able to compensate with additional fuel for the improvementIntercoolers may also benefit from a water spray too for more consistent performance...

According to my boost gauge it is on 7-8psi on the stock tune, the 8psi tune hits 11psi and the 10 is 13.
