XTR2Turbo Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 The 1.6 would also be class A wouldn't it? not with turbo multiplier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dommo Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 not with turbo multiplier Ah didn't find that on an initial read. Makes sense now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL290005 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 My installation has required a new collapsible column installation, 4 part so it passes round the turbo, I preferred to modify this rather than the turbo installation as felt that would be easier plus it would make tuning easier at a later stage.The manifold downpipe sits neatly (in my opinion), and with my foot mounted pedals I feel I have enough clearance for the master cylinders I will be making a heat shield to help with heat protection.As far as intercooler I have chosen a barrel air water installation and currently waiting delivery of my bespoke rad for the intercooler, hopefully this will work but time will tell.

Kit Car Electronics Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I think you've made a good choice with the intercooler, look forward to seeing the package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I keep looking at those barrel type charge coolers when I contemplate supercharging the S2000. Some interesting designs about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Oxfordshire Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Looks good Chris...I'm going down the same route...great minds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dommo Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I run 12psi and intake temps have never gone above 37 degrees. I need to get a temp sender put in pre cooler but from rough calculations that's puts it in the 80% efficiency area I think. We're spoilt for choice for cooling options nowadays, makes life much harder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL290005 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I choose this as trying to reduces losses in the flow hopefully my rad will be here in the next week so I can finish this part of the installation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Car Electronics Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Does the intercooler have a quoted efficiency and flow loss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dommo Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Not sure who you're asking but RadTec said it was their 'hydro flow' core which has near 0 pressure loss. So that's a no then! My MAP sensor is built into the ECU so can't move it before and after the cooler to make a decent guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL290005 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Dom I think R7WSC is asking about pressure drop across core of barrel not the rad No I don't have a figure so it's suck it and see hopefully it will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dommo Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I meant my intercooler, not the rad. Never considered pressure drop on the cooling system. Is it the same as Gary's cooler? Could probably make a reasonable estimate from that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL290005 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Dom It was my mistake, I was thinking about a barrel installation not your set up, yes similar to Gary's except he has a 6" core and I went for an 8" max I could fit across the chassis without angling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dommo Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Just seen the car. Does indeed use the radtec radiator/intercooler unit. Fit is really good and tidy, not as tall as I was expecting either. Looks good with the 3" downpipe and exhaust, I may have a bit of jealousy on that front.
