Plazmaman 1000Hp Results - Bf Pro 76 Tube And Fin

[Vrdesign]

Hi All,

So the background is previously had the HDI-X01 100mm core bar and plate cooler. It cooled very well untill but it reached a point where it started to struggle at 14psi. At only 210mm tall is just didnt have the volume to support more power! It did really well on the dyno with only moderate temp gains, but in stop start driving it would suffer from heat soak and couldnt recover till the car was cruising for a few mins.

So after speaking to alot of people, and reading MANY threads in here, I decided on the Plazmaman 1000Hp cooler for my BF. Many thanks to alex for his advice.

Fitment was easy enough, front bar had already been trimmed for the HDI and no extra cutting was required, everything lined up with no surprises apart from having to relocate the horns which was no big deal, cooler looks horn! very happy at this stage!

Yesterday I took the car into CMS for a tune. I drove in with 310rwkw @ 15psi, I replaced the stock cat back with a twin 2.5 xforce, added the 1000 Hp cooler, and drove out with 341rwkw and 995nm of toque at 17psi on 98ron. Car feels awsome! Anyone who thinks the stock cat back is not a restriction at 300kw is dreaming.

Inlet temps have been talk of the town on here so I thought id post up the temps from my run.

I was slightly nervous about how the cooler would perform after reading all the comments floating around this site, but was happily surpised with the reults, some comments on here are seriously skewed to favour certain suppliers.

Ambient was 21 deg, and IATs normalsied at a high of 27degress between 5700 and 6500 rpm, with minimal change in temps untill 5000 rpm where it rose by 4 degrees.

Cheers

Its not so much the stock exhaust being the restriction but the cat. If you could only change one it would be the cat. BUT its best to change both cat and exhaust.

Are you saying you have a stock cat.

good to see other factual numbers.

Although your cooler temp tops out at approx. 30 degrees, that is because of the nature of the OBD2 generic data being slow to report and the actual temp would have followed the same incline line until a few seconds after the dyno run was complete.

Please do not take this as a criticism as the results are good, just trying to explain how things work

thanks ratter, yeah trying not to mislead with meanlingless scraps of data

On that point, my list of mods are

4" dump

hi flow cat

twin 2.5 cat back

1000Hp Plaz cooler

3" cold side pipes

2.5" hot side pipes

4" intake

ported wast gate

12psi actuator

60Lb injectors

sorry should have explained it a bit better, I had 4" dump and hiflow cat into the stock cat back which choked power at 300 kw. the car wasnt really reacting to extra boost over 12psi

Awesome job bud!! Gota be happy with the result

Kind regards Jon

Not bad,

That pic is with process west 3 and 450rwkw

cant argue with those numbers, but a true comparison would be with the 1800HP cooler which has the same size core as the PW3, not the 1000HP which has a 75mm core. its like saying my dump truck can move more dirt than your ute.

I plan on taking the car out to wakefeild park for a bit of fun, this is a major reason I went with the plaz cooler, recovery is important and I didnt want the fun to fade after half a lap when the cooler is heat soaked.
