YAY New Cooler Is In


Recommended Posts

Finially got the cooler installed after it sat in my room for 2 weeks!!!

Thanks heapes to gerald for the work, was a bit of farkin around coz the original piping needed to go through 1 of the chassis rails, which is a no no so we had to modify it!

Havent had a chance to trash it as yet, getting dynoed tomorrow and everything checked then the trashing will begin!

Can feel the better throttle response at just 7psi boost, so much better response and acceleration.

Stainless Steel ceramic coated inside and out piping so it stays nice and cool.

Hopefully its not just mainly a 'placebo' effect, would be good to see the before and after dyno results (you did get a before one, right? :P ).

Have you noticed your car naturally boosting slightly higher now?

well i just got back from race pace getting the s-afc retuned!

I got 183kw@wheels at 0.9 bar boost and 165kw@wheels at just 0.5 bar boost!!

I am farkin rapped, the cooler worked beautifully, previously i got 155kw@wheels at 0.8 bar with stock cooler.

I will post the dyno graph tonight!

Excellent! So that's around a 25rwkw increase at the same boost level from a cooler + SAFC! Awesome. It's clutch+turbo changing time I think if you plan to go any higher although for me ~185rwkw would be just right I think.

So it's just this plus a full exhaust and pod right? How are you controlling the boost? Bleed valve or EBC?

To compare, I've got a cat back 3.5" and a pod, stock boost + cooler and am getting 148rwkw. Looks like cooler + SAFC (if required) is next!

I got full exhaust and custom dump with rest of exhaust 2!

I am controlling boost with a shitty turbosmart 2 stage controller, they said it would get a bit more with a ebc since it holds the boost so much better in all weather conditions, the bleeds holding capabilities in different weather conditions change.

OMG that's excellent. Congrats INASNT! Do you have a EBC? or a bleed valve? How much was piping?

piping is stainless steel 2.5 inch with ceramic coating inside and out and cost be $600 which is basically a straight fit.

And when i went to race pace there was this crazy farkin race boat in the garage which had a twin turbo 383 chev in it and was pulling 1150hp!!:eek:

    • I might just check it out.. A Q among all those skylines.. lol
    • Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery
    • The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.
    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
