GKGSJQKS Banned 259 Member For: 9y 5m 8d Gender: Not Telling Posted 14/02/16 03:39 AM Share Posted 14/02/16 03:39 AM Question - how much does heat affect the performance of the FG turbo (stock)? Let's say on a 40 degree day and you have been driving for a while. Does a bigger intercooler help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its 40 out its going to be affected regardless of IC size. A good IC can only remove heat to ambient. but yes the standard one is very prone to heat soak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's say on a 40 degree day and you have been driving for a while. Does a bigger intercooler help? Heat affects them hugely. Mine pulls soooo much power back when it's over about 30 degrees. At 40 degrees I don't even bother driving hard it's that slow plus it's probably terrible for the car in general. At 40 degrees I can have my foot flat in any gear and keep traction (have semi slicks though which would be nice and sticky cos of the heat). At 20 degrees or less it will just spin through first and second with flat foot Having a bigger intercooler does help I notice a bit of power comes back if I go for a drive at 100kmh or whatever on freeway and get heaps of air through the cooler but slow speeds it stays hot. Didn't notice that with the stock cooler, when it was hot it was slow and didn't get power back until the outside temperature dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
