PWR air to water I/C?

Post by drakan69 »

g'day
ok so i've searched but couldn't find anything specific

Just wondering if anyone had a PWR air to water barrel intercooler running on there vehicle?

I have been trying to decide if i should bother trying one of these however one person has told me there crap, and another has said there not too bad. That's just not good enough for me and i need more imput.

thanks for the help

I have one on mine and i think it's great. Before the I/C went on, i would start to back off when the EGT's hit 600, and that was running 10 psi. I'm now running 15 psi, with the fuel screw wound up to max and i have trouble getting the EGT's over 450.

What're you using for a pump and radiator on that setup?

Like what drakan69 said, the water pump, radiator and thermo fan were supplied from PWR as a kit

Looking at the photo's I think you would need a body lift to get enough clearance to fit the 6" diameter barrel.
Someone's been spending up big, he's got a nice new PWR alloy radiator for the engine as well. What happened, did PWR have a sale on or something?:D

Your correct about the body lift, it wouldn't have fitted without the body lift. Also correct about the radiator, the original was getting a bit tired and the car was overheating a bit so i thought do it once and do it properly.
