Good for drag racing as you can sit in line and not heatsoak the engine And after logging IAT2 recently, it does get rather warm under normal use.

FORD patented this idea years ago. Whilst I can see how it works for a single pull or drag run, I suspect it would become in-effective on subsequent runs (in terms of recovery time)

Recovery is pretty quick actually, have been following along on the original build thread and he seems to know his st.

Makes for better low end torque

won't this invalidate your VX UK warranty, or have you done that already with other Mods

Other mods on the way fairly soon. Don't think I will manage to last 100000 miles without modding it anyway. First service and rear tyres are now due :shock:

I also think that doing 166 at an official VX event might have given the game away slightly...

Reading through what this chap has gone through with the kits from the states, I wouldn't bother with them, they are particularly shoddy. This kit is as sweet as pie though.

Have a word with Moif he may be able to help.;)

Also you are now buying the ozzie dollar at 2.19 to the pound, so better buying there.

I've had mine on my car for 18 months now and it does the job
When I fitted mine myself they were new to our type of cars in this country so there were a few snags on the installation due to were to fit the chiller unit itself due to its size,but with a bit of mechanical knowledge its doable

I wired mine up so I have AC in the cabin and have a bypass switch so you can bypass the intercooler at the front of car
I have seen my IAT's as low as 19C reduced from 52C within 2 minutes,when driving with chiller on temps are around 28C depending on ambient temps but this can be reduced by 5C if using the bypass system

The kit I used was RX Superchiller
This is where I got mine from....
