Title: Uprated SMIC for us dervs PICS and LOGS INSIDE
Post by: Adam on 19 November 2010, 13:51: Got the intercooler from here on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140476694196&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT). 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.

Post by: topher on 23 November 2010, 20:22: 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.

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

Now your talking :grin:

Did get a 60mph hold in 6th and it hit and stayed at 27* where as before it was 36*.

What's you take on the "diesels prefer hot air" conundrum?

Post by: asif on 23 November 2010, 22:48: Yeah I always read that the dervs love love hot and run much better hot, hence why I could never understand when people have a cold air feed on the dervs as witinh a second or two the cold air will be hot.

Does it drive any different? Economy, power any different?

Yep it's designed for the 1.8T. Your going to have fun trying to get one. I got the last in the batch. Over on Ukmkiv they are going to run a group buy so I'll keep you updated.

Post by: tech1889 on 23 November 2010, 23:11: Ad if you could that would be awesome dont fancy a FMIC at the mo but these look great.. especially as they have the map sensor hole.. so i suppose it would be direct fit for me ??
