Is that the piece he talks about removing in the video or the piece he's holding up in the video? Or is it the same piece?

Looking at the piece Russ is holding in the pic, and the pic of Xtreme's car, I think it's that piece I circled. In the vid it's removed, which allows the shroud to be lifted to get to the bolt location.

Oh okay. I see. And removing that won't cause any negative effects?

Not something I can answer yet. My install is delayed a bit.

Okay. It was more of an overall thread question but thanks! Haha.

 

[Xtreme545]

I'm pretty sure it'll be okay with it removed

 

[Xtreme545]

Plus you're saving about 1/2 ounce of weight by removing it lol

Okay. And very true!

Any driving reviews yet?

Cruising around highway and local, 95* humid ambient outside, on the highway it's a constant 2-3* over ambient, stop lights it jumps up to around 10* over ambient then as you move it goes quickly down to around 4-6* over ambient. I am impressed, seems like a good balance between shedding heat quickly and taking time to heat soak.

Better results than your level intercooler?

I would have to do some logs and compare it to my tuning logs for the Level to answer that question. The Levels heat soaks quicker but seems to shed heat quicker too. Highway, the Levels usually hover around 5-8* over ambient.

Sounds good. I'm still learning about what exactly heat soaking and shedding are. Ha.

Usually a fin and tube (stock style) IC heat soaks (gets hot) quick, but also sheds heat (gets cool) quick by design. Bar and plate IC (most of the aftermarket ones for us, minus Mountune) tend to take longer to heat soak, but sheds heat slower.

You really want a good balance, because you can have a solid core that takes forever to heat soak (Garret cores) but if it gets hot, it also takes forever to shed the heat back down.

The stock IC is the opposite, it takes very little to heat soak, but once it gets hot, it sheds heat relatively quickly to a point, but its still not enough obviously. Stock IC sucks, everyone should buy an aftermarket IC.

Oh okay. Good explanation. I was going to get one anyway. Was going to go with Cobbs but this came up for cheaper and around the same core size and everything from what I understood.

Sounds like a good mix. So it seems to heatsoak to about 10* over?

As a side note; I visit Herndon/ Great Falls area a few times a year. Summertime weather is horrible as well as your drivers.

Is 10 over good?

I was just pulling around pretty hard, seeing 23 psi+, most I got is 13* over after sitting at a light for a few minutes. This is a nice IC for sure.

Summer is stupid humid, winter is stupid cold, the drivers in this area are just plain stupid, I gave up riding on the streets because its pretty much playing Russian Roulette!

It's better than 20 over.

The general comparison test is a third-gear sweep, comparing the starting CAT to the ending CAT as recorded on a datalog. It gives you a pretty solid idea of how well it will perform under stress. In normal daily driving I don't even bother looking at it because the amount of variables that can affect it are significantly higher.
