I would personally really like to see this get off the ground as an intercooler is my next purchase.

Sounds like it might be a starter!

Any set date yet?

I am 1000klm north of Brisbane ( 3 hour plane trip to Melb but it could take all day by the time I wait for connecting flights), but if there is enough notice given here on a date and it coincides with my work roster, I would like to attend.

If I am able to attend I will also throw in $100 to contribute to any expenses incurred during the day ( like beers and BBQ, etc).

Greetings everyone from new members chris and shelley (agro 6t). I have an xr6t ute and shelley recieved her stock bf xr6t sedan today. The ute is modded to 370rwkw. Shelley is in the market for a large intercooler so we are very interested in the comparison test on the apparant verge of becoming a reality, like everyone else its results we want to see. To begin with can anyone suggest the easiest to fit value for money intercooler to support 300rwkw.

This is kind of off topic so these posts just might get moved. There are a myriad of threads on the subject. Look them up - search is your friend. But if it was me, I'd be looking at 1 of 3 - Nizpro, Process West, Rapid Systems. All of them will handle well over 300rwkw. If budget is the issue, then definitely consider the Rapid Systems unit. Otherwise, a toss up between the other 2. APS has a good unit as well but it is not cheap. I myself have the new Nizpro unit and it is a wee ripper (well, not so wee, but a ripper nonetheless). With engine temps high on 30+ degree days, it doesn't suffer much at all. Seems to do what it was designed to do, cool those intake temps. High-five Nizpro.

Adding to this, I done some datalogging of the new nizpro cooler in my stage2 setup.

On saturday, I believe the climate control said it was 31degrees outside in the late afternoon.

Cruising around for about 30 mins or so, I found that cruise tempretures stayed around the 105F to 110F area (40.5dC to 43.33dC)

But the real magic happened when doing wot runs.. 2000rpm to 6000rpm with 15psi, the temps dropped from 105F to approx 95F and then rised upto a maximum of 103F during a pull in 3rd gear. (95f = 35c, 103f =39c).

So considering the ambient tempreture was 31degrees, the cooler done a good job on keeping the temps under or around the magic number 100F (magic because this is where air temp corrections start to come and play)

I am still happy to proceed with testing although the biggest hurdle at this stage is no other manufactures have said peep for weeks.

Doing a compare test using one brand may be a little pointless.

The last week end of march and the first of April are out.
