I'll talk this over with eric tommorrow but... Helix does not like to do groupbuys if the parts are not in stock and I dont know how many FMIC's are left from the last production run.

firstly the BMW employs a very adaptive engine management system that always tries to run the most aggressive timing it can under any situation. the FMIC's lower AITs translate to more advanced timing and faster boost response. secondly- better flowing and less restrictive cores and better designed endtanks-inlets and outlets also enable faster boost response. when designing an intercooler you try to maximize the above to counteract any volume increased lag BTW where in Denmark do you live? I lived in Hillerod north of Copnehagen for about 8 months in college jeg jeg |

Turbo/FMIC newb here.... is there any major differences/advantages to the step design of Helix compared to the Code3??? Honestly, I'm just curious.
And thank you but damn you Helix for the group buy I wouldn't even have to pay for shipping. I would just have my parents pick it up and then grab it over the Christmas holiday

Sounds like a great deal on that Helix. Just need more feedback on Code 3 vs. Helix.

when looking at dyno numbers its not so important to see the max PEAK #'s but rather the power gain across the powerband, ALSO a dyno is a very bad test for an intercooler as it doesnt simulate a real road going situation in regards to ambient airflow. with that said the Helix had a consistent and smooth 20-25 hp gain over a large part of the powerband with a 22whp increase at peak power. MOST importantly this is a dyno of only one gear its even more important to see how the power increases "stay" through multiple gears as the AIT's increase. I am most confident that the power gain with the Helix FMIC don't disappear as it keeps AIT rise at a minimum.
here is the aitr log we did on this very same dyno run you can see how the lower AIT's directly relate to power increase. Last edited by TurboBullett@Ambient Thermal Management; 11-07-2008 at 09:00 PM.. |
