Hi Sean, loving the intercooler video. I'm working on my '04 Barra BA/NA and have recently purchased a differential oil cooler kit from PWR to avoid the dreaded "pink milkshake". By the looks of Your Radiator and Intercooler vids, and what I've seen of this diff oil cooler, PWR really are a quality company. Your radiator vid was impressive and is making me plan to upgrade my cooling system with a new PWR Radiator when money allows it. Cant wait to see how part 2 of the intercooler turns out. Cheers.

Nice! I've never had a car tuned properly before so I can't wait to see how it all goes 👍

[@joshuaeacott4226]

Fantastic! Keep in mind that with a massive upgrade on the cooling side, the massive drop in IATs can cause it to boost more, and can cause the ecu to boost cut on factory tune.

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Yup, I won't be driving it much until it gets a proper tune. My car is currently running a piggy-back ECU with a 15-psi tune though, so it probably won't be too bad if I want to do a bit of testing first.

Great video. Good to see some positive stuff about the pwr gear. I'm wanting to upgrade my radiator in my territory and after seeing the pwr radiator and how the quality Is on this I know where I'm going. Thanks and keep up the great videos. I went with plazmaman for my intercooler kit and the quality from them was perfect as well.

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Nice - I highly recommend it if in your budget. Plazmaman seems to be highly regarded, they just didn't have a return flow unit that I was after!

[@scott4547]

They only do the 1000hp kit for the territory's so I didn't have a choice unfortunately but the intake temps are a lot lower now and it was very worth the money. Its a bit hard to have a super accurate test without a dyno and the same day doing it but are you going to do a video on the difference its made intake temp wise with the new intercooler?

[@MotoringBoxTV]

I could put the old one back on if we wanted to check, but it is a bit of a hassle. From what I've read the stock ones perform fine up to 300kW, but on extended drives or hot days they can suffer from heat soak due to their small size.

[@MrButtonpresser]

Nice work there, and good on you PWR.

[@tturi2]

I so happy for you that you didn't go with one of those trash bar and plate ebay intercoolers, I had one on my xr8 (yes xr8) and I may as well just ran a hotpipe and put a 10kg ballast infront of my radiator. Tube and fin is 100% the only way to go for an intercooler

There are benefits to moving everything else around I guess, so if you're chasing huge power it is worth it. For under 350rwkw i don't think you need to do any of that.

[@MotoringBoxTV]

The thicker rad should negate any differences hopefully.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

He's doing all the right things here - my only point would be, with that massive radiator, it's probably overkill unless he wants to make huge power - like over 800 bhp - which will mean he'll have to upgrade engine internals, like valve springs and the oil pump - as well as external stuff like injectors and fuel pump.

[@MotoringBoxTV]

@@Beer_Dad1975 the radiator is overkill, but considering the stock one was old/on borrowed time I had to replace it with something. With no OEM ones left you sort of have to take a gamble on which one to go for, so I decided to go for the safest bet. At least I should have a rock solid cooling setup no matter what I'm doing and no matter how hot the days get.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

@@MotoringBoxTV For sure, quality parts are not something you ever regret investing in.

[@MegaTorque]

I admire your dedication to the oem+ look which I too follow but the main reason people swap the airbox layout is that the crossover pipe does limit power due to the casting. Not a problem for your desired power level though. May be worthwhile seeing if it needs a clean up when you do the valve springs. Depending on how far you want to go you can also port the bbm.

Excellent vid. Issue with retaining factory route pipework is the air is reheated due to its route back close to the turbo and over the top of the engine. Pwr will make a diff to air intake temps but not as best as can be achieved by something like a plazmaman cooler kit. Dont forget to upgrade your trans cooler. Horns can be remounted under the passenger headlight. Free up air to the cooler! Love ya channel mate 👍

Appreicate the wanting to look standart set up but I think you should have made an exception in this instance.

Also prone to blowing hoses on even mild boost.

I dont doubt pwr have thought and tested for this, but it blocks the radiator quite a bit, how's the temps after installing it? Just curious, i dont have a turbo or anything

[@MotoringBoxTV]

I am no expert, but in my opinion for any given boost/power level there shouldn't be a huge difference between before & after radiator temps. The stock intercooler would be running hotter because the air is being funneled through a more confined area. Whereas the bigger intercooler spreads the air over a larger area, so it should be a lower temperature. So the stock intercooler blocks less of the rad, but runs hotter. The larger intercooler blocks more of the rad, but runs cooler. And I guess it depends how you define "blocks" as intercoolers are designed to allow air to freely pass through them. Let's not forget there's an air-con condenser covering pretty much 100% of the radiator too 👍

[@smithy2]

@@MotoringBoxTV yeh fair points, just visually it looks beefy, hey but im not automagician 😁👍🏼

[@lunch2102]

Just a question regarding drivability with a larger volume intercooler, I've heard there is a risk of overboost if driven without a tune. Is that actually a concern?

[@MotoringBoxTV]

If the intercooler is more efficient it could potentially cause that, as the pressure just after the turbo will always be higher than what it is at the intake manifold, due to the intercooler restriction. Apparently the ECU will hit boost-cut if it goes even slightly over the standard boost level, so it is a real possibility. In the end though, swapping the exhaust or intercooler on most cars won't see huge gains without a tune - so it would be worth getting it done.

No expert but it looks like it could get struck and it's hogging a lot of the airflow from the radiator core, even though I believe most comes from below the bumper anyway.

The lower grille I fitted later on should take care of any large projectiles, and whilst it does cover more of the radiator I don't imagine the airflow would be affected very much.

Uh oh. 'WD-40' and 'lube' in the same sentence. The Internet mechanic police are on their way. "It's nOt a LuBe!!!111"

Even water would do the job in that situation. Just something to overcome the surface friction of the rubber.

I bought a new racing PWR intercooler for my BF and it was worse than a 15 yr old Nizpro intercooler. Don't believe their hype, they might do a half decent job but they are not in the same league as Plazmaman, Process West, Nizpro or even the Antz intercoolers.

None of them do return flow versions as far as I'm aware.

[@adami2140]

@@MotoringBoxTV Yea, I know not many to choose from with return.

Just blow the horns twice a day that should keep them clear lol

The crossover pipe is crap and so is the plenum

[@MotoringBoxTV]

I look forward to showing you what is possible when you keep them 👍

[@doctorhelicopter]

@@MotoringBoxTV I already know bro. Dont ya want to hear ur turbo? Thats what its there for, compliance and refinement.

[@MotoringBoxTV]

@@doctorhelicopter I already can thanks to the under headlight intake. For me the refinement is important, and so is keeping the engine bay looking original and neat. Almost all the other intercooler kits end up butchering things in my opinion, especially on BA/BF because of the rocker cover design.. it looks shit without the crossover on top. Not everyone will agree, but it's what I want 👍

[@doctorhelicopter]

Youve taken the first step. Give it time and you'll be chasing grunt like the rest of us.

This intercooler is massively overpriced!! - Processwest is a better brand with a bigger core and is 1200, but like all things XR6... they are all way too expensive lol - Even crappy used OEM intercoolers are trying to get 200/300 ... Dreamin aussie kids

[@troymatthews668]

Rubbish! All the cross over pipes just heat soak.

[@MotoringBoxTV]

The air passes through it so quickly I doubt it'd make much difference. The pipe diameter would be a bigger issue - but if you're only aiming for high 200 - mid 300rwkw's apparently they still work fine. Touch your inlet manifold after the car has been running for 15 minutes, everything within the bay gets bloody hot.

@@MotoringBoxTV we had a big avo intercooler setup bit bigger then this with avo cross over pipes and it did heat soak. Processwest cooler and no cross overs pipes was so much better. Cheers
