Inter cooler dyno figures

Just my own preference and opinion but looks like figures alone dont do the mods justice. 6.6367 kw gain as a figure is not over the top although the 55 Nm of torque if it came in low would be the big seller. Seeing the torque curve on the dyno sheet would probably really show the difference. hope you can get it up would be interesting to see and would more than likely really do justice to the mod..

Looks awesome though, hopefully it drives just as good.

Looks very neat. Pardon my ignorance, but how do you simulate the airflow and at what rate of airflow did that improvement occur? Did you chill the air, or was it at ambient temp?

John.

Interestingly, what John's dyno sheets do show is just how restrictive the standard TD6 intercooler actually is. On the dyno run with the standard cooler the revs got to about about 2750 and the boost pressure fell in a hole suggesting the intercooler couldn't handle the air at the high/er boost levels.
The one I built however however the boost pressure curve evened out to be a flat as texas.
One other thing that John didn't mention is the dyno run with the modified cooler was done on a hot engine and intercooler with about 10 or so minutes of heat soak going into the intercooler before the dyno run. The standard intercooler was fitted and was cool before its run so the results would probably be even better.
A 10% gain in torque is nothing to be sneezed at though, and with lower EGT's there's room for playing with the fuel pump specs.

John, gimme a call tonight if you can.. I've left me mobile at home with ya number in it.. :(

For those wanting a good conversion program, the following is pretty good.

Conversion Programme

I've just got a copy of John's dyno figures from the Dyno guys next door at work and I've scanned them and posted them below.
The 1st image shows Torque and Power the 2nd shows Power and boost pressure.
Regards Andrew.

Yep, you can see when the standard units flow becomes overly turbulent and drops off. This unit will really come into its own when on the move under load.

Now for a full dyno tune :-)


Awesome work Andrew, beautifull bends. Very neat.

John, at the end of the first thread you say "now for the air to water intercooler" I am saving for a PWR air to water intercooler and am interested in the difference in performance between them
So looking forward to your test.

Cheers Bruce
