NEU Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 So you are saying we should listen to you over a Volvo engineer? He's my proof, I'm still waiting for yours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Where is his proof? Does he discuss the merits of the stock intercooler? Does he discuss the merits of even a poorly flowing core vs the stock intercooler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

550 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Yup you are right. Enjoy your RIP kit. You definitely made your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I'm just saying if you can prove it, you have a point. But you don't. Sorry guy, I think the "word" of Jan is just a little bit credible then yours. Why would he lie or mislead? What's in it for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jschaefer7406 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hello again, Not sure why all online forums need to be like this, but I'm trying to remain civil. I also frequent a 4wd forum and once posted a question regarding rear sway bar installation on my 4wd dually dump truck. Received countless posts about sway bars being gay and "why would you want one at all, let alone in the rear"...no one bothered to answer what I was asking, only replied with their own opinions about sway bars. See the similarity? I realize (for the hundredth time) that a FMIC is more efficient. In Jan's defense, he does not praise the stock intercooler due to the thickness of the core. However, I do agree that every single piece of advice I have ever received from Jan makes sense and is spot on. He is suggesting the RIP because it IS an improvement over stock and the best practical alternative (short of going for the full out FMIC). I have tremendous respect for Jan and value any advice he gives me (no offense, but as NEU said, I tend to have more faith in his recommendations than in "everyone else is doing it")... Again, I don't intend to spend several hundred dollars on this. If I can do it cheap, great. If not, I agree and will save the money. Either way, there is no need to clutter this thread with useless claims (as you have yet to say that you've tried the RIP route with no other modifications). I stress, everyone says this is a waste of money but I have yet to hear from someone who can vouch and say, "yes, I've tried this with no noticable gains"... I know you've been around a while and I respect your opinions. But a FMIC is not everyone's dream. Do you had anything helpful to add (besides that the piping isn't any shorter for the hundredth time)? Thanks, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Your argument is over intercoolers not RIP, thats not the subject asked about. And have you seen the amount of pipe bends on a ME7 throttle pipe? Again what we are talking about. Everything I read says bends = restrictions, if it works for exhaust I think it would work for intakes. Or am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I'm only saying it isn't worth the expenditure. Forget the FMIC even. But like I said. Ultimately it is your desision. I did give a situation to back up my claims. But alas, that doesn't matter around here. Most people would take form over function any day, except me. But please post back on your thoughts about the setup. It may help someone one day. BTW: http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/132436-optinions-about-fabbing-my-own-rip-kit/ A lot of those statements back up my claims as well. Atleast this way, you don't have to take just my word for it. And Hussein puts it perfectly: So where's the question? I have to ask if you looked at the multitude of current threads, because a general question on the functional validity of a RIP has been beaten to death If you have the time & the materials, do it! Take pics & post them here. You will find that it makes no tangible performance difference whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

550 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Husseins tune before he when to Turbo Tuner was from Jan... He know who the expert is... Okey doke then. http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=rip+kit+site%3Avolvospeed.com&aq=0p&aqi=g-p1&aql=&oq=rip+kit+s&gs_rfai=CN4VwYQQTTMzOEZv4ygSA3f3YBgAAAKoEBU_QZlN_&fp=ae57158b92861d1d Reading is fun. Maybe I'll get ambitious in the morning and quote all the posts. But hey experience = nothing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Look who's talking. Should I listening to you or Jan, I'm not picking you just cause of your mindless rant. I'm done playing my e-dick is bigger with yours, YOU WIN EXPERT, I've got better things to do tonight like sleep! Oh and why don't you re-edit all of your mistakes...

550 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 No need to be a poor sport. I backed my claim up with many. You had one. Sorry. Mindless rant? I never even brought out the e-dick, didn't need to. PLENTY of other threads out there reiterate EXACTLY what I did. Sorry guy. All my edits are so I can make thing succinct enough for you to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
