Sportec Intercoolers

Post by johneroberts » Mon Jan 13, 2003 11:15 pm

Because of the 40% bigger cooling area against the serial intercooler and 20°C reduce of air intake temperature the engine power increase up to 25bhp ! Despile this higher performance the thermical stress is lewer than at serial engine ( less boost pressure at same performance ) .

The pleasant side effect is a soft consumation optimization. Further the troughput is 25% higher and less flowloss. Lightly an stream optimized carbon airflow conduct and also new frontgrills enables a better airflow to the intercoolers.



The complet intercooler kit doesn't need any other parts or

Specialtools and is easy to fit. It is suitable for a performance

up to 550bhp.

mmmmmm, Lucky I am [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Very nice bit of kit indeed, sorted my heat soak probs well and truly....

Budget around £4k per pair inc fitting and you wouldnt be far off [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] there again, for the extra power and the ability to help up to 600bhp, and to see them every morning thru the grills [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Nice one Sportec

No seriously, they are back off again early next month (bit later than planned) which is the first time she's been back to AmD since last October. I will make sure they get measured Karl [img]images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
