Wouldnt you reccomend these at all mate?diesel weasel said:see, i told you you'd all notice the difference
if you could find one an arc is more than up to the job for average mods/power figures, i did some work on kyepans old gtir 2 years ago and that was on an arc intercooler, went well enough for a 1bar gtir but 1 bar is a pile of shite on a t28 :lol: it definately does the job but then again so does the standard topmount reasonably well, i think it was ashbhp that did 340 on a standard intercooler a few years backmarcymarc said:Wouldnt you reccomend these at all mate?
I really like the idea of them as im a stickler for originality, the thought of cutting bits of my r is not a nice thought.

diesel weasel said:yeah, it'll be fine, but so would the standard intercooler core running only 1.1bar, when looking at any realistic gains by swapping to an arc you'd have to see gains per pounds spent to see if it was a worthwhile swap.
its a shame we have no 'real tuners' involved with these cars on a personal basis, back to backs of different set ups could be done then to prove or disprove any gains from one set up over the other..as it stands, everyones opinion of most things is purely their opinion..
it would be interesting to see what gains, if any could be had with an arc core over standard at the same boost levels,
if allen wasn't so gay :lol: we could stick a standard topmount back on his car and see what happens intake temp wise/power output at certain boost levels on the 3071 on a topmount,
They dont have too, mines got a front mount lurking away behind the bumper ;-) But i know what you mean, most people chop the whole bumper apart which looks all wrong in my opinion :?marcymarc said:Front mounts look chav on gtirs though, i can see why people like the arc replacements.
In regards to front mounts??davey red.r said:yeah me to. might get burberry jacket and drive around with the collar up:lol:
I bought it off a right nobber too :lol:diesel weasel said:you got yours cheaper than cheap, it doesn't count :lol:
the nobber factor obviously explains the 30bhp gains :lol:MarkTurbo said:I bought it off a right nobber too :lol:
nobber factor is the number 1 main benefit from buying a front mount cheap off of me :lol:marcymarc said:Dont torque gains come into play with uprated intercoolers?
diesel weasel said:if the intercooler is more efficient you'd be getting less pressure drop and better cooling (lower intake temps) so gains should be seen somewhere whether its torque or bhp
diesel weasel said:if your getting cooler thus denser air you see some gains in both
