How good is the GRS Intercooler..........

[Paul Webster]

I presume you already make 230 with a stock intercooler??

Your IC must be seeing some high temps we have seen 20deg differnce so it will defintley help though you will loose some psi.

When testing at the Pod we have seen a 2mph gain over the 1/4.

That was just a ball park figure for what ive got installed and when the intercooler comes along on my username! i really need to get it on a power run/rolling road and see what it comes off at but i cant find any tuners close enough to me around the north east with a rolling road.

its either a digital camera which im looking at reviews at the mo or save a bit more for an intercooler.... i really do want 1 but i havent got £400 at the moment and the one for sale in classifieds was only£100 but its gone !

[Paul Webster]

Save for Intercooler and 2 tanks of petrol then come down to us

[ScottyBoy]

You may have a customer shortly then

What does a 2mph gain relate to in time?

[Paul Webster]

We didn't gain anything in Et due to our slicks and the track going off though we did show a gain .06 of a second from the 660-1320ft which is hard to do, we were trapping at 100mph the previous 6 runs with a best of 100.43 which equals 201.28whp then we got a best of 102.5 which equals 213.98 whp at 2546lb a gain of 12.7whp.

We did have some nice air at the point of the year as well.

so muhc would it cost to, Drive in RR then fit GRS then RR and go home with GRS still on car. am i right in saying its 450 quid??? as if it is and you are not tto far from Kent i will take you up on that with in the next month or so.

[Alex5]

Go for it Ant, GRS gave me 12-14bhp over the GP intercooler when we tested them at 1320... pressure drop and IAT's were both improved over the GP unit.

Hi,


I take it this is the standard large GRS intercooler you are talking about.
Your report of between 12 -14 Bhp is very interesting.
I have read that the New GRS water to air intercooler gives twice the gains of the large one .
There figures show an 8 bhp for the large and another further 8 for the water to air.

Thats correct Ant, just give us plenty of notice.

[Alex5]

Yes I am talikng about the GRS air-to-air. My car had -15% pulley and CAI so the gains will be larger than on a stock motor. GRS (I would imagine) show the improvements their coolers give on an otherwise stock car.
I should have mentioned the light mods really.

[Cooooooperslad]

Im thinking of the GRS too, not sure wether to go for that or Forge

[Loui]

I went GRS an im glad i did as the after service is second to none, an the products awesome

[Bhozar]

I went with GRS too. its a nice looking bit of kit and is certainly better than stock.
