Evolution of speed intercooler

[Mike_f80nyc]

Running both EOS intercoller and AWE heat exchanger on stock turbos, ones you turn up the boost it's good idea to upgrade the cooling

That ensures a consistent run and temps. Of course that would vary if you want to run 1/2 mile races, etc.

This would only hold true if the system does not have sufficient heat extraction capability. If the system is able to extract all the heat, it will never heat soak and volume of fluid is irrelevant. Less important for drag racing, but very much so for road racing .

Correct. It's all about the goals you have for the intended use.

I don't UNERSTAND why us enthusiast. $pend lot's of cash on modding but don't want to upgrade the cooling because of the price. The unit serves it's purpose and everyone on this Forum has already invested heavily including myself!

I don't see it that way. With these cars it's more about how the factory cooling system is so capable in itself! To be brutally honest, an upgraded cooling system is NOT at all required on these motors for 99% of the type of driving AND racing that these owners do. If there's an issue with "price" it's not because they're asking too much for the upgraded unit, it's because they'r bitching about spending the money on something they don't really need unless they're road racing (15/30minute heats, in the desert mid summer lol)

Why not install dual CM5 nozzles in our upgraded chargepipes and enjoy cool IAT's as well? Or if you want the absolute best do all 3. Meth, Heat Exchanger and the water to air intercooler.

But I would indeed first see some data before pulling the trigger. And meth seems to be cheaper option and has other advantages too.

Agreed but if your heavily modding then upgrading the most important part (cheap is expensive)!!! What percentage of this community is Stock?

I've heard that meth kills transmission

Funny, It's more like the extra power made available by using meth can kill your transmission

I heard people die from meth
