im looking for a Intercooler set right now i was 1st looking at ams and Buschur they seem to be the best but ETS is doing some sick things but ams seems to be the smallest but they did just upgrade there intercooler so lost on what to get need help

 

I just bought an Arc intercooler and im kinda worried after reading this forum if it can handle my setup
AP turbo kit
kelford stage 2 cams
pistons
rods
blitz Nur r spec exhaust
just to list some it has about 600hp can the Arc intercooler handle this?

 

In short, no. You will need a higher capacity FM.

I totally agree. I want my hard earned money to be circulated back into
our countries economy. Granite, noone compares to Japanese car technology. Companies like AMS and Buschur dedicate themselves to our cars specifically. They deserve the credit and our support.

 

anyone datalog the following:
inlet/outlet temperature readings on (cold/hot day) and after hard driving for X minutes
boost pressure drop before/after installation


there are alot of factors. not just core size. you can have a huge core, but if its not efficient in the air to air heat transfer, it's useless..

i'd wonder if even with a smaller core, with the use of electic fans you could get the same power as a larger core with no fans simply due to reduction in heat soak tendencies...

how about water temps after installation of such large Intercoolers.. the larger surface area for the intercooler, that means the radiator behind it will get less airflow-

so many things to consider when choosing the 'best intercooler.'

 

Damn right, that's why we all bought a Mitsubishi

 

Bigger isn't always better. You really want to match the proper IC with what you are using the car for. Running a bigger core than this should only be done if you are planning on going farther than that. Failing to do this will just cause excess pressure drop that is not necessary. Our standard core with engineered cast end tanks is designed to improve performance on the stock turbo all the way up to a 35R. Its the same tried and true core that is efficient up to 650whp. Fit and finish is second to none. We cast the end tanks and designed the brackets to bolt up to the car just like stock. We take great care in not just bringing a great product that performs to the community but one that is engineered to fit and last you beyond the life of the car.

ams sold me long ago. i will be buying your ic after you guys get your dual exhaust out. *ahem* *ahem*

 

Any new info, on the new intercoolers that came out recently...

 

This thread was a trainwreck and took more cleaning than any I've seen in a long time.
There is no advertising permitted in the tech sections.

Vendors posting info about their products in a post or two is OK, posting prices and bumping updates is not. Use the PM feature.

 

And preferably the master cylinder fix I'm hearing about for all the peeps with am clutches.

 

Anyone know anything about this intercooler?
