Chargecooler temps

Post by Benmoore999 »

When I had a GT4 Chargecooler fitted I was getting Circa 70 deg c inlet temp @ throttle body. This was after 1 and 3/4 laps of the Ring. I had a glance at the guage at the end of the long back uphill straight after the halfway point. HTH

The ambients were 20-25 deg c. Was I happy ? In a nutshell yes. The engine didn't blow up... I managed 20 laps and drove home to the UK thats 280 hard track miles without the autobahn blatting. I couldn't get anywhere near 70deg on the road more like 40-50 deg under extended full boost at about 18 psi. I was running 17-18 ish psi on the CT20. I would have like to have datalogged just out of curiosity but I ended up selling the car to a dutch guy. I did use the radtec pre-rad and the gt4 pump running full time. I would be interested to see intake temps if using the GT 4 chargecooler and a GT28RS at the same boost and maybe the difference an alternate pre rad makes....

The radtech prerad fits in place of the stock intercooler, doesn't it? I think if you're using a prerad at the front your pump has to work harder but you get better cooling simply from there being more pipework to spread the heat over.

It goes in front of the Aircon rad at the front.
