My Intercooler Install

[F6 UTE]

haaa gramps comment is classic. Hopefully the weather holds up on Wed cos I bet your mad keen to test the apple on the track.

To be honest, I'm getting it ready for the track day at Colli on the 18th.. I need some cool charge temps, as it's an all day event....

Drags would be good, if it has the mumbo, but I won't bother till it makes 340rwkw, and I can knock off a couple of 1/10ths.. ( hoping )

I think the barge has a best of 11.6 @ 118mph in it. I'll go down till I get that, then retire it from drag racing..

You can fit a 3" pipe by entering it the same way as the N/A intake.  I've been running one for some time now.

That's archaic Macka.... Wait till you see what we ( gramps- I pinched it ) have got planned..

←

Look forward to seeing what you have planned I hope it provides the results you seek.

Are you going to use a larger throttle body?

I don't see the benefit of using larger than 3" unless you are.

Look forward to being proven wrong

OK.

I'll try and post up some pix of the (semi) finished pipework tomorrow, painted black.

To quote F6_Tornado

" Ohhh farkk. That looks faaarking terrible.. Ohhh for faaaark sakes, that's faaarkin horrid. That's no good at all, nup, that's F*&*KED "

Meh, he's a \|/ and it's MY temporary pipework, not his.. ( I'm not too keen on it either    )

( did I mention he's feverishly running around finding an intercooler, coz now he's scared I'm quicker than him) LMAO old boy..

Well me being a Professional Engineer and all!! It makes me shudder when I look at the R&D piping under that bonnet.

Just get your Hairy @ss around here so I can fix it and take some pics.

It still won’t be perfect without the Western Taipan Accumulator Air Box in place but good enough for a dodgy dude like you

Like I need to do much to beet your dream of 11.6?

OK, just got back from the dyno.

Wog tune was a no-go, as the injector scalers need tweaking up, and I'll do that next time..

Simon put a tune in for me..

Results of the cooler install..

Here are the charge temps with the Nizpro cooler. Pretty massive improvement considering 34deg intake temps.. (61 deg F for the sake of the graph )

Consider also intake temps only rise 11 degrees on the dyno run, compared to the stocker it's quite amazing..

Another way of looking at it.

After a full dyno pull, to max power, the charge temps are still colder than the F6 unit at IDLE with the factory piping..

Compared to the STOCK F6 cooler

Resulting in

351.5RWKW.

To clarify, the

Mods are

Injectors

Nizpro Cooler- F6 UTE piping as per pix.

8psi Actuator

4" dump

4" punched CAT

Centre Section removal

Edit, Xede controlling boost

Fuel is 12.0 and we could have wound her up to 370rwkw fairly easily.. I have a small boost leak which I will get welded up, and that might help a touch aswell.

All in all, very nice on the road and effortless with this power..

EDIT:

Effectively, the cooler install and pipework has gained roughly 50rwkw.... taking into consideration intake temps.

I'll go to the drags wednesday, all things going well (clutch ) and see what happens.

We won't go into this, shall we gramps

Nice and awesome results. Goes to show the massive benefits in fitting a decent intercooler system.

How's it feel on the road?

[RAP1D]

oh and what psi are you getting the 351kws at?

[macka'sxr6t]

Any pics of the finished project

[F6 UTE]

Tnx gents.

The damn camera still has no bats, I'll try and raid the remotes to grab a pik..

Boost, well it's running a bit less than it was for 313rwkw, on the 11.8 run. Don't worry, there's still a bit dialed in..

I'm keeping that bit of 'research' under my hat until I have done my plenum to gauge any positive/negative benefit..
