SkyWriter Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 had my turbos upgraded by cherry for more flow(25-30%), expect there may be additional compression associated with the change. would like to add additional series intercooler to existing setup to offset rise in temps. any sources for off the shelf intercoolers?should i do something different first?any facts/analysis appreciated!TIA!Sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the underlørd Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Good luck finding a drop in IC for the S80, i dunno if it's the same for the 800 series platform cars, but I'm guessing it isn't... you can always go the FMIC way.. spendy, but as you so elequently pointed out, you "got money".. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
854TGA+ Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 We added an EST intercooler to our 850t after Herman worked his magic on our turbo. Herman converted our 15g into a 19t. We noticed a very nice increase in power after the EST intercooler, but having the ECU redone after the turbo was huge! Did I say huge well that's an understatement. We now have two ECU's one for winter driving (SAM ECU) and a brute we picked up from Terry at VMS for summer time fun! I would suggest you talk to Terry about getting that IPD ECU reworked!Cheers Trent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyWriter Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 the underlord: thanks for the info, i didn't think there was, but i thought there might be some small air-to-ir i could plumb in i could get off the shelf. no idea what size it REALLY needs to be.We added an EST intercooler to our 850t after Herman worked his magic on our turbo.

the underlørd Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 and a brute we picked up from Terry at VMS for summer time fun!so did terry ever tell you WHO'S software is on that ECU?you guys seem to dodge that question every time I ask it, which is every time you post about this magic ECU from terry...

SkyWriter Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Griffin seems to make several sizes of intercoolers for the job.http://www.roadraceengineering.com/intercoolers.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
854TGA+ Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I believe Terry would have to install another chip in your ECU. Sorry I don't mean to skirt issues, Terry can correct me if I am wrong but I believe it is a Abolsute? Sorry Guys I am probably out in left field on this one.

Sorry Guys I am probably out in left field on this one.I would have thought that he would have told you which company's software was in the ECU, but hey, if it works, it works..just tryin to get the info out there for other people with 'custom tuning' needs.

Guest Guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Skywriter, How about an intercooler spray, it would stink when you run out but I have seen some big tanks out there. I am heading to xxtuning.com tomorrow to get my R dynoed. I checked out thier page and they have some pretty cool stuff for intercoolers. Just a thought. Now I really need to look out for a blue S80 on 495! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMC850T Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 A more efficient intercooler will have a more significant impact than upgrading your turbo. I would say after you have a nice FMIC or replacement for the stock on, then get an 18T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin makes a small 24-18x6-8 inches i bet i could stick in there somewhere come april USMC850T: you're right! thanks for the thought.edit: can't spell, durn it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
