New Intercooler for Transverse 3.5L Ecoboost

[mattr66]

Since you will be able to run more pressure, octane tolerence will be better.

Right, but will it be 2 grand better?

Of course that will be a personal choice but I can see the possibility of buyers remorse.

Once you get past 15-16 psi on the tiny turbos IAT2 is going to rear its head and 93 doesn't tolerate high intake temps.

Just get my intercooler when they are finally released

What’s the release date for the intercooler? And what’s the price?

There is unfortunately no unforeseen release date in the horizon for the intercooler on this platform IIRC!  Z

matt, please lay down some facts about the custom intercooler so we can see what you are referring to.  Right now, we only see a black box to take a poke at

Z, im pretty sure Mattr66 is the famous (or infamous?) Matt of Gearhead performance.

Intercoolers, upgraded turbos, and I've heard from a reputable source  tuning skills second to none.

It is a drop in had some issues of fitment on the first prototype.  Keeps IAT2 within 25 degrees of ambient at WOT under most conditions (excluding extreme heat soak).  The first prototype has a flow issue (still made 460hp to the wheels) that I corrected and am waiting for the manufacturer to correct the casting of the outlet tank.  I'm confident the next version will fit better and have 2 psi less drop that this one that is already waaaaaay better than the stock intercoler.

All the more reason for a proper intro

Here's the latest Dyno with the intercooler and xdi pump running e30.

Probably should divide up the topic before it derails any further from the OP's thread title.

Not doing so, and continuing on with an alleged intercooler discussion will for sure damn it to obscurity/oblivion and not serve either interest properly.

Especially if/when the time comes that the product is actually released.

Just a friendly suggestion.

Do you have any pics?

 

[ddlopes]

Hey guys, I don't frequent this forum very often but the car in question has the prototype intercooler and xdi35 pump running on e30.  Factory turbos are maxed for the most part.  The drop in intercooler should retail around 650 plus shipping.

I think you're gonna have some customers lining up at that price point, myself included!

1) are you selling the pump?
2) you need your logo splashed on the xdi pump page
3) if the 35 just about maxes out the turbo, is there headroom in the 35 for the larger turbos?  Or do you recommend the 60 for anyone planning to get larger turbos?
4) at $650 sounds like a heck of a deal for a drop in intercooler that performs ~50% better than stock (IIRC- prelim number show IAT within 30 degrees using the prototype versus 60+ on stock)
5) LMK when you're in the NoVA area, we need to get beers

heck more like +80 with the stock intercooler..... I don't travel like I used to, so not getting near VA any time soon that I can think of.  I will be testing larger turbos next.. I'm at about 80% of the full pump capacity right now.
