I don't really want to go to the effort of changing this IC out for something smaller so the PWR radiator is not going to be an option, but 42mm could work... pretty bloody tight in there though. Even though the tune I was running was supposed to be a track tune, I might get another one done with much lower boost. No point running a tune that the cooling system can't handle for more than a few minutes.. reminds me of the hours wasted overclocking PCs...

furiousgibbon Member 86 Member For: 17y 4m 3d Posted 03/07/17 03:39 AM Share Posted 03/07/17 03:39 AM thanks for the tip, if the OE one is 26mm I'd wonder about a 42mm fitting anyway as there isn't much space to the belt pulleys as it sits now. I might look into getting a custom one made, could possibly get better efficiency without it having to be heaps thicker than stock. Or just swap the IC out for a plazmaman or something, but that would be a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lean AFR's gain power, but useless on a hot circuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I'm any where near Warren Luffs pace on Trofeo's and massive brakes. , but it gives an indication of my car's potential. Have no dought he would put it around in a 32.
