Uprated SMIC for us dervs PICS and LOGS INSIDE
« on: 19 November 2010, 13:51 »
Got the intercooler from here on eBay. All that is needed extra is a SFS bayonet coupler and some 60mm pipe for the bottom. For the top I had a SFS THS169 hard pipe but you could again use a SFS bayonet coupler along with some 60mm piping. Fitted nicely and in all cost me £99.99. It's a steal considering GodSpeed who made it also make the intercoolers for Forge apparently :afro:









If anyone wants to go down this route I have a few spare SFS couplers I can part with.

Funny you should say that :)

Its hard to get the same logs back to back. This is a 40-80 sprint In the same gears. Used the same bit of road. There was a 3* difference in temps (Today was 3* colder). What does everyone think [*-)] I was expecting 5* or something but not this.

the temp figures are a bit meaningless but the thing to look at there is how the ramping flattens out with the better intercooler, thats when its really working.

the ramp up of the graph it peaks and holds instead of rising

or, "the hilly bit has a flat top now" if you prefer :grin:
