Title: Intercooler question?
Post by: Andyp on December 07, 2003, 03:31:57 PM
Hello!

Just a quickie... I\'m under the impression that putting an aftermarket intercooler means remapping? Can someone tell me if this is hash as I think whoever told me was probably a remapper :D

if it is the case can ya tell me why... I don\'t ask a lot :D

Think it needs re-mapping to adjust the fueling as intake temps should be a fair bit cooler with uprater cooler.
Dont know if this is essential though, might be safe to run without mapping, just wont be making as many ponies as it could be.

How did the meet go Andy? sorry couldnt make it, very late night last night, and im prob only just down to legal blood alcohol limit!

thanks mate, makes some sence...

Meet was kewl. Nice to see a couple of Rx7\'s there pity it was so dam cold but was real good in the end (good to finally meet Ben L too even if he did piss off for a bit to work his mits hehe)

Met couple of seroius tuning guys from the mkiv supra club. They basically do all the work themselfs out of reserach etc with the ambition to have the fastest soop in the UK. Got talking to em about my car and they should be able to source my parts from USA dirt cheap through Redline USA (hence the IC question hehe)

Yeah was real good, good to see an Audi rs6 being slaughtered by the supra club *titter* :D

Should be fine without remapping, the Apexi PFC compensates for hot and cold intake air :)
