possum Donating Members 553 Member For: 15y 7m 30d Gender: Male Posted 17/04/12 10:12 AM Share Posted 17/04/12 10:12 AM 1) it's done by Nizpro - that's true and I have no doubt that people will think it is biased but I haven't seen any other manufacturers post up testing results... Maybe ask them for there results (if they have any) and compare for yourself2) we don't know what they are comparing it to. Are they comparing it to a Monza and a Capa or an 1800hp Plazmaman and a 2.2 Process West? - There are only 2 other LEADING manufacturers of intercoolers in the xr6 turbo market and the cream of the crop were picked to test againstSo how many 8 second xr6t's does Nizpro have? None, we have a customer in the 9's and have three cars capable of cracking a 9, Simon from XFT in perth is pushing over 800 rwkw through the same cooler that every other customer buys off the shelf with testing : http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=268595799889987&set=a.141052195977682.36817.139641019452133&type=1&theaterAlong with many fast and powerful street cars :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum Donating Members 553 Member For: 15y 7m 30d Gender: Male Posted 18/04/12 11:30 AM Share Posted 18/04/12 11:30 AM IAT temps are easy to measure through the obd2 port but pressure drop across an intercooler system is also very important.measuring across the entire system is easy by putting a boost gauge on the compressor cover of the turbo and another at the manifold giving you the pressure drop of the whole system. Cooler, piping etcto measure just the intercooler core itself you have to get out the drill and tap in some fittings to do the same procedure above in either end tank.Just something to bare in mind that is often overlooked when people talk about intercooler selection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pazzo Donating Members 11,132 Member For: 14y 2m 30d Gender: Male Posted 18/04/12 08:21 PM Share Posted 18/04/12 08:21 PM (edited) Don't think having a 8sec car with a PW cooler or Plaz cooler means anything, just look at the falcon GMKILA, has no cooler what so ever. Has a XR6T motor in it. Running down the 1/4 to running on the street are 2 different kettle of fish. I would prefer a cooler to work all day in 30deg heat that 1 that lasts 8sec. Notice a few company's claim to be better, but like Possum said, have they tested? Tuner producing 8sec cars don't mean anything as they are tuned to run 8 sec 1/4 not 8 hour driving and 1/4s. If it was not for Nizpro don't think there be to many other tuners out there knowing how to work these cars to there full potential. There R&D is watched by most elite tuners out there today.
