In this test we see both intercoolers start out at 50deg, by the top of second gear the ETS intercooler is only up to 57deg, while the stock unit is already at 78deg. the stock intercooler as this test will put a lot of heat into the system in 1 st and 2 nd gears, which should show the stock units shortcomings as it gets to the high load areas of 3 rd and 4 th gear. This can be attributed in part to the ETS Replacement Charge Pipe which replaces the plastic stock pipe with the 2 restrictve dimples that protrude into the flow area of the pipe.Īs our test car was an automatic, it was a perfect candidate for a pull through all 4 gears.This is the test that really shows the difference in the ETS Kit vs. Aside from the midrange, we also noticed a slight Increase in top end power as well. These temps are signifigantly lower than stock, and it is no surprise that there is a substancial power increase with the intercooler kit installed. Outlet temps are only 59deg at mid pull and the temps only rise to 66deg at the end of the run. Upon installation of the ETS Intercooler Kit, the car shows a 21.05hp increase and makes 361 peak hp. Based upon the 100deg mid pull temps, and the 125deg end of pull temp, there is definitely room for improvement over the stock intercooler.

ETS Solution- Use a Stainless Steel mandrel bent pipe that is uniform inner diameter throughout it's length improves flow as well.īase Test on a stage 1 vehicle at 12psi shows good power, but a flat spot in the mid range power between 5000-5700rpm is likely due to the rapidly rising outlet temps of the inefficient stock intercooler.

Plastic Pipe has restrictive dimples protruding into the airstream.

This allows for better airflow post intercooler. This still makes a 90deg turn, but is not as sharp as the stock 90deg hose.

ETS Solution- Split the sharp 90deg bend up into a 60deg and a 30deg bend.

90deg bend at the intercooler outlet is restrictive to flow.

ETS Solution- Extend the inlet tube to reach the stock turbo outlet pipe and use a straight, smooth silicone coupler.

This hose will create turbulence because of the ribbed design.

Stock system has an accordion hose at the inlet.

This design will force the air to flow through the whole cooler, not just straight across as if both inlet and outlets were on the top.Īlso note the radiator shroud tabs at the bottom of the cooler. The inlet is at the top of the cooler and the outlet is at the bottom. Note how the inlet and outlets are staggered.
