I am looking at trying to get 200+KW out of my NA for as little money as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you planning on reducing the weight as well? Less weight is always a good thing Had one on a previous car and A/C got a little lame at idle speed but that was about it. Excellent gain ATW though.

As well as the zoom article about oil temp rising on dyno runs without a suplimental oil cooler. Turbo cars run a lot hotter than other (including blown) cars putting out the same HP.I do a bit of towing with a lot of weigt behind, and in the past heat was my enemy.Thermo fans can only get the out of the radiator that the rest of the cooling system puts there.... but I was wrong once before. I'll let you guys try it first.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
