OGHK87Jay Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Yeah me too but on a brand new 2011 sti too haha. Yeah I know I saw in the other previous posts but since he was testing on a newer generation so I thought I'd post it and it'd be a good read.

NSFW Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 ...I like Jeff's commitment to experimentation. Ditto. There's a lot to be said for careful testing, even when (especially when?) most people already think they know what the results will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 They should have tested to death. This does not deliver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimberDHexMods Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Assume for a moment that every intercooling or non-intercooling charge system has a certain amount of a) internal volume including pipes and core or just pipes, b) a certain pressure drop given a certain turbo output pressure, temperature and airflow, further complicated by the velocity of the air in the system, and c) a certain cooling result given b). In simple terms, the game doesn't change when getting rid of an intercooler. It is the same question as what happens when you use a little intercooler vs a big intercooler, but to a different degree. Or in some instances, a "normal" size intercooler vs a BIG intercooler, in which case you will see a greater polarization the other way. So the more intercooling and pipe you have: pressure drop increases cooling efficiency increases perceived throttle response increases Was cool to see his testing, since the lack of cooling efficiency far outweighed any gains in maintained pressure from turbo outlet to intake manifold, as well as perceived throttle response, indicating (subjectively) that the relationship between the variables is far from linear. Would be cool to see someone crunch PV=nRT to see whether the increase in non-intercooled pressure was due to the hotter air charge, or if in fact some considerable amuont of pressure is lost through the stock intercooler.

Mega Users paintpollz Posted December 7, 2011 Mega Users Share Posted December 7, 2011 TPC racing produces kits for the Boxster that are sans intercooler. Check out the youtube vids. Big turbo, low lag, and low boost. "Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
