As I said in a prior post my design engineer partner works in the air cooling industry so we have access to a FlIR camera(forward looking infrared) that will show how the intercoolers work under load! This camera shows basically what the predator sees in the predator movies and gives accurate temperatures anywhere in the screen. And again the face is exposed, i designed the intercooler and have said it and an end user has said it as well in this thread!

You guys seriously crack me up, an end user has posted in this thread that it is exposed, and there is a pic I took on my car from ground level that shows this through the bumper opening I just need to find it OR if a helix customer can take a front on pic from ground level!

Look at the mounting bracket in this photo that backs up what I am saying look how much higher they are on the ams leaving more of the core unexposed under the lower shroud! Last edited by TurboBullett@Ambient Thermal Management; 12-27-2010 at 10:54 AM.. |

This seriously goes against correct intercooling engineering knowledge. If you don't believe me read the multitude of information available online and in books such as maximum boost. An intercooler is a heatsink and it's cooling medium is the ambient air and the surface area that is exposed to it. |

oh but i do like to argue, thanks for pointing out that he initially said it was fully exposed then it wasnt. Thats besides the point, its like you said, about the hard facts. Atleast we will have some facts soon on dynos. I will be going next sat. to do 3 pulls with my mods, no meth, atleast one pull with race fuel. Stay posted for numbers...There will be 20+ guys going, im sure one of them will have Helix fmic, I would like to see how they compare. It will be in DC if anyone else wants to come that isnt too far. Again, Jan. 8th.

Penn has agreed to back to back testing once temps get back to warm here! And we will do comparison logs and he can control the laptop so no one can cry foul! What I said is that the core above the lower shroud is exposed to frontal air! I did post a pic taken from ground level that shows this on my car but I can't find it! On your own car you can go see for yourself the helix height stops about 1/4" below the air condition condenser(thin radiator behind the bumper)

Dude, seriously...do you think Im dumb?? Those pics are from BOGUS angles. It needs to be a straight on shot. I can get in there and show you that the shitty AA, big tom, Stett, and cxracing fmic(which its not) is FULLY exposed to ambient airflow if I take BOGUS camera angles like that. Come on...that did not help prove your point at all.
AGAIN, I COUNT 10 exposed black lines/fins. THATS NOT 14! The first pic shows 10.5 fins showing.
