Not for the Slowrunner. I am tired of heatsoak.

Which car and what part?  Inquiring minds want to know!

What did you get?

I’m going to assume an intercooler.

Mid engine V8 Swap

That car and a 50% larger intercooler.

A Whoosh direct fit intercooler.

Yup.

huh. Let me know how it is!  I have the Mountune intercooler, so far so good.  Do you have an upgraded rad?

black for extra HP?

I never had heat soak problems with mine.  All stock engine wise.  I monitored post ic temps and they were reasonable.  Is your car tweaked?

It’s tuned, but I’ve heard of stock heatsoaking when driven fairly hard.

No, polished for extra scene points.

Nope, not yet. I’m hoping maybe this lowers coolant temps a bit due to having less hot air in front of the radiator.

I’m not rich.

Good. I imagine the small turbo boosting early combined with the small cooler cooks it pretty fast? I get bad heatsoak during the summer despite the large surface area and dumb little secondary intercooler. Someday I’ll cough up the $700 for a larger one.

I didn’t say it had to be a good V8...

Yeah, here in SC I get one pull out of it before it’s pretty hot, and I regularly see 120+ charge air temps. So it was time. On stock tune, it’s a 15whp gain, so I can’t wait to see what it will be like tuned.

That’s still thousands to make it work.

Good idea to have it installed soon if it’s going to keep being so damn hot around here!

What brand IC did you go with? Mishimoto? Mountune? Ect.

LOL, a stick welder, transaxle from a wrecked grand prix and an SBC don’t cost ‘thousands’. You can even return the stick welder to recoup some of the cost! *Live a little, man! Think of the page views you’d get on here with the worlds only mid engine Fiesta!

*This is terrible advice, please do not follow it.

Nice. 15 wheel would definitely be noticeable on such a light car. The consistency will be even better.

I don’t even bother anymore when it’s hot. The computer pulls boost and timing as well and it feels like driving through mud. I get used to it then all of sudden the car feels like a rocket when air temps are under 80F.

Whoosh. It’s the same core that Cobb and Mountune uses, just cheaper. The supplier seems to be a great as well, and he’s been around for a while.

Yep, it’s feeling slow. It was time.

What does your tuner say the hp increase may be? When I put a larger intercooler on (Volvo C30) the tuner didn’t have to make any changes and the impact was huge. Then when I went to a full 3" turbo back exhaust and an intake he tuned for it all, mostly adjusting timing. It’s a really worthwhile mod and I hope you enjoy it.

I don’t know, it should self adjust though. Stock gains are like 15whp.

Certainly not the world’s only mid-engine Fiesta:

Yeah, I’ve heard both things from many different people. I tracked mine a bit and it ran like a top. Datalogs of t emps never showed anything to be off.  Great car to track too!

All 200whp doesn’t really necessitate that.

If I ever upgrade the turbo, I will add 4 port injection though.
