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?

did you go the 6" X 8" barrel? looks good.
KiwiBacon, probably the ones supplied by PWR with the IC kit check them out

i was using one on mine, it was a 6 cylinder turbo petrol, before hand intake temp was about 130 degree C, after it wouldnt go over 35 dC.

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
Regards Andrew.

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.
