RDCULS New Member 16 Member For: 17y 4m 21d Posted 13/05/11 06:49 AM Share Posted 13/05/11 06:49 AM Have just swapped monza & std hotside for Plazmaman 510mm core cooler & hot side piping. Was running 350wkw. Now feels a hell-of-a-lot stronger!! (not retuned yet…but running nice & smooth).The Cooler:Looks fantastic in the flesh (some things look better in picture….NOT disappointed when I unwrapped it). Looking in close detail, the welds are a work of art. The rounded flowing shape of end tanks are flawless (& best looking on the worldwide market in my opinion :-)Performance:Like a freezing cold night, all day long. As shown everywhere on paper, there’s a 30-40wkw gain to be had from this kind of change. But I wasn’t expecting the extra BOOT right from standstill up until boost comes on at 2500rpm (instead of the 3500rpm like it was!!). MAJOR gain on boost & FAR better response off. Sounds ‘beefier’ too (hot side?). Basically it feels as though the car has lost 500Kg. Loves it..!If anything, this experience has shaken my faith in depending on peak pwr readings when considering a mod (30-40kw peak power gain on paper doesn’t do justice to the change in power delivery throughout the rev range). My advice: GET ONE!_________Only ‘problem’ is, now I have to get the Plenum…I'm thinking: Sure it’s possible to make near 400wkw with std plenum etc. But I now have a feeling it would be a very different drive than a car showing same peak power with aftermarket plenum.Will report when plenum goes on…!Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monza are so it was always going to be a quantum leap. Efficiency and lower pressure drop gives improved low end response. The fact that the car is stonger in this range with the same tune proves that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
