Intercooler performance

[GTI Jake]

When were these logs taken and was it really 109°F OAT? IATs go colder OATs is why I’m asking.

I’m pretty sure those temps are supposed to be F, not C

It’s currently 58* here, so that may be a error with data zip. Definitely not 109F OAT

i already spoke with datazap... its just the way obd11 translates into datazap hes working on it. Everything is in F.

here is Jakes intercooler kit. sitting at light for 4 minutes highest resting temp was 14 degrees above ambient.

I think you need to wait for a nice hot days to get some better data on that...

We agree 100%, but his FMIC was installed Friday and that’s all the warmer it’s been since. Forecast says 81* for this Friday

With a hundred or so inquiries per day for the last month I feel pretty obligated to past things as soon as they’re available

What was the outside air temp on all three?

 

[oldguy1]

Without having to wade through all of the data and in the interest of instant gratification, is there a clear winner or winners here?
Maybe a ranking list.

90f in neuspeed/ lower temp during wot 98f
80f in stock / lower temp 89f
80in majestic / lower temp 83f.

But is not about temp #, is about how it keep the temp down during WOT in this graphics

Both are near 45c at the top of 4th gear. With 10 degree higher ambient temps, I would say the Neuspeed is the better performer here. It also drops temps much quicker than the Majesty.

Yes but the temp of the air hitting the cooler helps to understand the numbers.

Stock and Majestic, I made it with Eurodyne data log, Eurodyne doesn't show Fahrenheit or Celsius. On the Neuspeed is on Celsius. That why i didn't put numbers to not create confusion. In my other post those numbers i got from my torque app

Not the greatest at reading logs but looks damn good for the price! 25*F difference at the top end!

Agreed - the price vs. performance vs. labor to install this cooler is great. The more expensive and/or stock location coolers will probably out perform this by some, but I rarely do back-to-back runs so I couldn't justify spending over double on a better cooler (but I'm not looking down on anyone who has bought a more expensive cooler!). The install was WAY easier than a stock location cooler. I'm pretty dang happy with it so far!
