Thread: allied Intercooler

Great to see AndreM, that will be my next mood let me know how you go in a month time. Bruce Davies mentioned to see a power increase you would need a remap suited to the new Intercooler do you feel any change in performance as it is?

The way I see it, you would need a remap to take advantage of the cooler air, Is there any more turbo lag with the larger volume of air required to be moved?

I'm taking a run this w/e so will let you know about the performance although I have not noticed anything stunning so far.

When researching, I emailed Pete at Bell Autos in UK (BAS remap). He said the intercooler would really help with breathing and heat and can be done before or after a remap as engine and sensors are complex enough to deal with the changes.

I suspect there a bit of black magic in all this and we would only know the real answers to performance with a dyno or a race track , and some controlled tests with different remaps.

Yeah, a Dyno is the way to go!

Good to see. I have the quote back for postage on same package with a De-cat pipe included (only offroad officer).
BAS Remap already on way after sending my ECU data a while back.
I can get basic acceleration readings with what I have but there are so many variables I wont be writing a thesis but should get the gist of improvement.

Call me old fashioned but I reckon the best dyno is in the seat of your pants and Either you can feel the improvement or you can't.

cheers,

Where do you get these magic pants ?
They would save me lots as getting engine and chassis dyno time is expensive on my bikes and cars. There's a market out there for these pants.
I cant feel it with my pants each few millimetres I extend my 1935 Red Hunter bike intake manifold.
