[quote=frank]Spinal surgery, I told myself if I live I’m sellin it all and buyin a boat…
Ronin is 61 ft. of racer crusier…
If I still had it do you think I would have bought an Elise ? [/quote]
Excellent 
like your style…all but the forced induction bit

Dude it’s all about style…
Who remembers this post!?!?!?
This was the ultimate case of “don’t shoot the messenger” and the messenger then being mown down with a .50 cal machine gun. hahaha
Thought I would bring it back for a bit of a laugh.
I remember the day at Bedford well, as the results started coming in, we were all looking at each other thinking, “bloody hell this will rock the boat” I think we can safely say the boat bloody capsized. But hey, I stick by the validity of the test and the results that came out of it. OE Coolers rock!!!
Discuss (IN A LIGHT HEARTED WAY!!!)
Running mine on the standard cooler now and haven’t had the ignition retarded as yet.
It’s cool weather though and I have a bigger roof scoop than standard. …
270 bhp too.
It’s all about the airflow imo …
But the pro alloy I/c is soooo shiney!!! 
Quick skim re-read, but I didn’t really catch the chat about the negative effect of warm air through the rad to roof scoop, or was that a different thread?
Load of bollocks.
If I spend mahoosive amounts on a fancy F1 I/C it must be better.
Dave, where’s that chargecooler?
NA Rocks 
Tossers lol
Great words ! 
If and only if you have been a good boy Santa may bring you one
I suppose as long as the person is happy with what they have fitted that is all that matters 
But I did notice a difference, might be because there is more airflow with the side pod ducting. Ooh dear here we go again 
Oh shit, do I have to sit on your knee again?
I just read through all 20 pages of this thread…uuugh… I may have missed it, but were the manifold pressures recorded for each of the individual Intercoolers?
No need.
The fact of the matter is the Formula 1 derived Marston intercooler is far superior ( or sexy) that you need look no further, and, as luck would have it, I have one for sale with RLS carbon side air scoops.
This would have to be the best thread on exige intercoolers I have found any where. Based on this information I have purchased my first mod for my exige… (which I haven’t got yet)
The 2-eleven shroud!
Have also found some adapters for the side scoops which will neaten up the hose just sitting behind the mesh. The adapter is a dryer hose connector from 4inch to rectangular duct. I should be able to modify the mesh to fit neatly around it so no mesh will restrict the airflow to the intercooler pipe.
Watch this space !
Thanks Softy. We tried to be as fair as possible, you wouldn’t believe the amount of grief I got though. haha.
I’m such a quiet guy on here too, never cause any trouble me!
Some people just don’t want to believe results
Maybe because they have invested in upgrades or associated with the company.
I have read everything I can find on exige ICs and 2 things are clear;
What I believe/found from my research, the intercoolers rise in tempreture extremely quickly on full acceleration. Faster than any air can remove the heat. So recovery time is the key. When you brake or coast is the only time the IC has a chance to recover. Bigger ICs appear to recover slower. Eg: why the stock unit appears to preform so well.
More air, maybe it is different, but we just can’t get more air into the ICs current location. Therefore it will eventually heatsoak, so Air to water will always be best.
Now i will admit I am wrong, but like Frank, show me the data, I don’t believe anyone, that is just me.
The tests done and posted on this forum are by far the most realistic and best done anywhere in the world I can find.
Cheers guys, thanks again, you have directly influenced my purchase on mitigating the heatsoak problem.
I feel denigrated (again)
Imagine what would have happened if this was test of exhausts!
That could be a test in it’s self!
Well in some ways they’re like brake discs, in that thermal mass count when it’s trying to negate the effect of when the heat into the system is greater than it can shed.
