Intercooler Facts and datalogs Only || Share your intercooler Numbers Here !!!

mike@x-ph.com · 04-21-2015, 03:03 PM

Lots of intercooler threads have been created lately and it seems that lots of guys are confused to what each intercooler brings to the table.
I have created this thread so everyone can share their intercooler numbers and pictures. We are showing pictures as well because intercooler finish quality is also important.

When posting datalogs, please also mention the map and mods that you have on the car + the ambient temperature.

Rules:
- no bashing to any manufacturer or vendor

Great idea Mike! Hope this fills up with info. Should be made a sticky when it does, and replace some of the outdated ones.

VRSF 5in non stepped.

I'm getting 10-25 degrees above ambient temps and roughly 7-13 degree rise on a third gear pull.

I guess it's not bad compared to the stock one that sucked

Post number 23 i suggest creating an FMIC thread that looks at results only ( no sales pitch or prices). You respond in post number 27 saying that's a good idea, go for it

Do you have any datalogs?

Cloud9blue · 04-21-2015, 06:09 PM

VRSF 7", not the prettiest, shiniest FMIC out there, but it gets the job done very well.

Highway multi-gear pull running at 17-19 psi, ambient temp is around high 40 F
http://datazap.me/u/cloud9blue/stage...2&data=1-3-4-6

Road course (20min session, constant 3-4-5 gear WOT pulls), ambient temp is around mid 50F, running at 15-16 psi
http://datazap.me/u/cloud9blue/2014-...g=0&data=1-4-6

Road course, ambient temp around mid to high 40 F, running stock 8psi boost (LPFP was on its way out...)
http://datazap.me/u/cloud9blue/2015-...g=1&data=1-4-6

Sgop335 · 04-21-2015, 06:39 PM

Ambient 75F, vrsf 7 inch, dv etc., stock ecu

Depends on power goals and each individuals set up. Is this thread directed at people who are only going FBO?

This is not a thread to decide which is the best intercooler.
This is just to see how each intercooler is doing with different car setups and ambient temperatures.
So this thread is for everyone who would like to share how his FMIC is doing.

Makes sense. Cheers to another FMIC thread

What you think of my log overall ?

mike@x-ph.com · 04-22-2015, 12:48 AM

Since some users complained about the rule for not posting data for companies who do not support this forum, i decided to remove that rule.
