It looks the same as the fron of my car. The bits of silver are the aircon and trans coolers. Have a look at a F6 front and you can see a intercooler like dogs balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 13/06/10 09:28 PM Share Posted 13/06/10 09:28 PM As for the intercoolers, on these types of engine/supercharger combos the norm is to use water to air coolers.The cooling device normally looks more like an air con condensor, not the usual air to air type coolers you are used to seeing on XR6T's.Remember these coolers are cooling the water/coolant mix, not the actual air charge.The air charge is cooled by the cooling unit under the supercharger.

CSP Member 89 Member For: 17y 4m 25d Posted 16/06/10 12:56 AM Share Posted 16/06/10 12:56 AM The issue is obvious as it can been seen in the current cars. The extra power and torque just take it over the limit and causes failure.There's 2 ways to fix it... the expensive (and arguably proper) way, or the cheap way, which plays havoc with NVH but solved the overall issues. I expect FPV will take the cheapest and easiest route and hopefully not compromise NVH too much.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
