Hi guys, I'm facing a problem on high intake manifold temperature (thru data log) by my tuner after changing the hybrid turbo for my megane 265 As high as 59 degress when my RPM reaches 6K rpm, on full throttle. Where else 43 -50 degress from 3-5K rpm on full throttle as well. Tuner suspected Intercooler damage? any of guys face anything of this before or is there anything else I could check? Appreciate your feedback guys
Thanks Steve. Any recommendation on the aftermarket intercooler which is something similar with stock IC ?
Forge is the one I'd go for all though there are cheaper on the market which others say work fine, I'd choose forge though
I like the look of the black airtec one with red logo think it would look good on my black r26 It's personal choice though at the end of the day
Yes. Get a bigger cooler ASAP. Speak with Track Focus Direct on here and get one of the airtec coolers.
Yeah Id go with the Airtec cooler If you want the Forge cooler go for the shorter 'hot climate' one. My mate has their standard tall cooler on his Stage 1 250 and during the summer the fan is constantly coming on because the radiator cant get enough air.
Theres a whole thread on it http://www.rsmegane.com/showthread.php?2590-New-Airtec-Intercooler-for-225-230&highlight=Airtec
Ktecs intercooler ( aka Pace ) is a fantastic fitment and I've yet to see any overheating issues all coupled with greatly reduced intake temps and a genuine small gain mid range.
I have several friends of mine who had tried KTEC n forge has overheating issue....as our country 365days on average of 33 - 34 degrees... Thanks Ben_r1, will probably give them a buzz....
