hey guys, currently im running 360rwkw in my typhoon but am only running a stock cooler with stock pipes,

everything seems fine but just wanna know will I start to break hoses when summer rolls round or will the intercooler not be able to produce cold enough with the summer and this much power?

like I said during the winter its been fine.

help would be great :)

cheers

I wanna get my car on your dyno so I can be in the 400 club!

Seriously that us way, way, past it's limits. Pipes won't break, but your motor will.

Just to put your setup into perspective for you. Mick from Pitlane advised me to upgrade my typhoon cooler which I had on my xr6 even though I was only after 300rwkw. So 360. Boy your intake temps would be hot hot hot.

yeah I have noticed that my engine is hot when I turn it off, but temp is showing only 1/4 all the time,

is there a intercooler that you guys found is best, and price?

not looking for more power, but will I need a retune?

cheers fellas

Are you planning to push for more power? Because that will be factor. Staying where you are, a $700 hdi will be fine.

Nizpro/ plazmaman/ process west are all good. Plazmaman is probably best value.

you should get a touch up tune if you get another cooler - same power with lower intake temps is better for engine

ecu can adjust if you just get a bolt on cooler and use the stock piping you will be right...think about it all you are doing is cooling the air coming into the motor. in winter the air is cooler then summer so the ecu has to change to suit the air temp...its only when you change the flow rate eg bigger piping less drag quicker spool is when you would need a retune...

all that will happen in summer is you wont make 360kw you might make it for 10seconds then you will prob make 260kw because your cooler will be heat soaked, the ecu will see high intake temps and pull the timing out to suit the intake temps...

engine temp on the gauge has nothing to do with intake temps, the intake temps spike up under boost

a cooler that uses all the stock piping would be the best bet...water injection is another option to keep the temps down under boost
