Intercooling

[Raptor Charged VX]

drift it , that is correct , and also you cold air sensor before the TB and after the MAf

[drift-it]

well that would save alot of hastle when intercooling! i thought u'd need a totally new tune!

finished my 2.5" hot pipe today...
can definately notice the difference!
boosts heaps quicker and no pressure drop going from 3" to 2.5"

[Raptor Charged VX]

looks good bren , what boost reading are u getting at the manifold

[impulsesv6]

lately 10psi max...

Hi mate, just curious why you went to a smaller pipe size for the hot pipe? Wouldn't the 3'' flow the hot air better? Thanks.

[Raptor Charged VX]

ok my theory on smaller hot pipes. the size of the pipe should work just as good better being the same size outlet of the charger it will keep all the pressure up until it fills the tank on the hot side of the cooler , and as long as the cold pipe is the same size from the cooler to the TB its gonna hold the pressure.

[Raptor Charged VX]

impulse , so your running the ten PSI puley?

[impulsesv6]

wouldnt have a clue anymore what pulley, lol... 51mm i think...
until i changed oil i never hit a definate 10psi... always 8-9psi...

but before the 2.5" pipe 10psi... with the 2.5" pipe 10psi...

have also heard the theory that the pipes from the cooler to the tb should ideally be the "same volume of the tb minus the area of the butterfly"...
just like optimum exhaust systems velocity is where its at...

Ok so does this mean that 2.5'' from the charger to the cooler and 3'' from the cooler to the throttle body? Thanks.

this is what i have on my car atm

[Raptorsc]

Alloytec 10psi should be 61mm pulley, same pulley on ECOTEC gives 12+

I can vouch for AKOs work. Top quality welds and the best flowing systems. Very happy with the exhaust systems that you did for me mate... Have recommended you to alot of blokes, keep up the good work champ

[Raptor Charged VX]

thanks for the kind words twalt

[Raptorsc]

Recommended another Raptor owner to you today AKO

Thanks tim putting jobs on hold to after powercruise ATM

Have you got an ETA on my flange trent?

[Raptor Charged VX]

ETA you now know

Hey RCVX,

I have a VT V6 that I've got a Powerdyne supercharger for, I already have a 450x300x75mm cooler with 3" inlets.
I was wanting to know how much some intercooler piping would cost for this setup please?

Cheers
Glenn
