I did not get one ping and the performance stayed the same all day. My cars were getting hammered I do drive them hard. You can only get about three laps before the auto goes into limp.

I'd be very keen to see how Rapid's would go with over 400. Seems like such a cost effective option and nicely put together.Don't get me wrong, I'm not rubbishing the Rapid Systems cooler it certainly is a great value for money option. However, just about any intercooler, including those that use a cheap $50 Chinese core, will flow good and have very low pressure drop at around 15psi. With a 4 litre displacement and the massive torque that the barra engines make, we can get well over 300 rwkw with a relatively low 15psi. So we don't see the poorer cores suffer large pressure drop at boost levels into the mid 20's.What I'd love to see is what happens to the charge temps on all of the coolers typically used on our cars when repeated WOT runs occur on the dyno or street.

Guest EGOXRT Guests Posted 15/01/08 05:32 AM Share Posted 15/01/08 05:32 AM I can't believe no one has logged any charge air data on these coolers especially when many have been sold, fitted and tuned.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their locally made cores are supposed to be one of the best going around and if he doesn't have a dollar restriction, that might be the way to go? They will make one up for you but as a custom job.Dude the new Nizpro cooler is a very large unit and has more surface area than the 1000hp plazmaman. Call them and ask away. From all reports, it's a ripper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
