Might have been an early one, was very small compared to the plazmaman 1000hp one I had too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been an early one, was very small compared to the plazmaman 1000hp one I had too.Yeah first ones were made with PWR tube & fin cores, as on BCL ba back in the day... I remember when it was swapped out for a plaz 1000hp cooler There's a few tube & fin coolers... Hdi FG , plaz , but the majority are bar & plate.As for the HP ratings, they are just a rating, look at the number as a rating of power support... 1000hp cooler is designed to support a motor that will produce 1000hp fly or around 600wkw, but it's also happy at 300kw... So the rating is there to let you know what ball park your in, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.Not a good comparison at all. GMKILA is a methanol car running 5000cc injectors.If you think that an XR6 doesn't need an intercooler, then pull yours off and pull the engine out, because by the time you finish reading this sentence after the first boot, the pistons will be in the sump.Not taking anything away from Simon, but there are many other accomplished tuners and companies in this country who have achieved big things on a global scale, not just nationally.

Gets street driving he says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why it doesn't have an intercooler. Cool car though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
