Intake Air Temp Survey

[ProChargerTECH]

For someone who touts the virtues of data so frequently it is surprising that you can't decipher it.

That graph does not show a short 2nd gear pull.

It shows a WOT run from about 35-120mph using what looks like 3rd, 4th and 5th.

I meant a (2) gear pull (and a little extra)
That pull likely lasted less time then a loaded dyno pull in 4th.

Its not showing back to back to back to back full pulls, (which is talked about on his website)

Even the brand new Corvette Z06, with loads of heat exchanger going on.
Still heats the fluid while it sits and idles, just as pretty much every unit on the planet. (Although this person claims his doesn't but shows now data of it)

Regardless it doesn't really matter in the end.
Air-to-Air intercoolers don't need any explanation.
The work very well, the don't fail, simplicity at its best.

That mean the IAT is after compression, then?

Yes.

How much rwhp is the base HO intercooler rated at?

 

[Timo5.0]

$2400ish

Been researching this intercooler and am profoundly interested. Anyway we could meet up sometime somewhere to check it out? Nothing too creepy lol. I love that dude's style. I'm an engineer/tech geek so the system is awfully appealing.

Here is just part of the bigger picture.

We have never "pushed" it to its limit, however anything over 700rwhp should switch to the Stage 2 for best results.

On a TVS, the average IAT2 is about 30f above ambient at cruise. Ford calibration begins pulling timing for downstreams at about 110f. So, on an 80 degree day, you're pulling timing idling in your driveway. How do you combat that and get the benefits of a TVS? A great heat exchanger. That's why we (VMP Superchargers) include a triple pass, dual 11" Spal fan unit with our Stage 2 and 3 kits.

Compare that to others and see what you get.

Not only does it reject heat, but the recovery time is amazing in race conditions.

After sitting in the pits for 30 minutes, just baking in its own heat, my car will show 170f downstream at 'key on'. Turn the car on (which activates the pump and fans) and it'll drop to 125 in less than a minute!! When we calibrate cars that we KNOW has superior cooling, we change that setpoint in the cal to not pulling timing until more like 150f because you won't likely get there. In the event that you do, we pull timing more aggressively.

Hope this helps.
