CP-E's New Intercooler Released For Sale

[dyn085]

I find this interesting...Airtec is 462 cubic inches? DHMs stock fitment intercooler that is coming is the same volume.

Yep, which is why I'm curious to start seeing some logs both from their OEM-fitment and from the race-version that's installed on the OEM turbo.

Same question I was wondering. I guess we won't really know until somebody logs with the dhm intercooler.

And how do you know it's the same as the airtec? I heard it was the same as cobbs?

I guess that's dependent on what you're referring to as 'the same'. Mathematically it is the same core volume as the Airtec and you can see that in the intercooler thread. Physically though, the Airtec has more frontal area which should technically give it an edge-but that's only one factor of many.

On the intercooler info thread, BrokenSVT mentioned the Panda IC with the tr6 core, and the dimensions are the same as DHMs stock fit one. And I agree airtec had more frontal, so we'll have to see. Any aftermarket should see an improvement, just to what degree is what needs to be seen. I'm planning on doing some datalogs once I've gotten my DHM.

Saw this in person yesterday. Great end tank design as expected. One note: the lower snap in grill needs to be removed or at least trimmed in order to fit.

^ that's a really nice lookin piece. What is on that price tag? Is that a special price I see?

Very nice!

Never thought I'd say an intercooler looks really good

That special was only for those at our BBQ.

We may have some kind of discount on it in the near future. Keep an eye out!

In terms of modifications to the car is it 100% bolt on. You must remove the lower grille (which comes off easy). In the pics it may look like there was modifications to the bumper but there was not. No trimming. No drilling. No cutting. It is hard to see from the pics but it makes the most of the grill opening. Nothing behind the crash bar. There was alot of focus on end tank design on this one.

Thanks for posting pics of my car!

Happy to answer any questions about it!

I will get datalogs dyno charts ASAP. Car is down for R&D right now.

Any pics of it installed?

 

[MitchsFiesta]

Heres a better pic where you can actually see the intercooler. I do not currently have bumper off pics.

I just datalogged a new dyno run.

TQ went from 245 to 268, hp didnt change much. Increase of 23 ft-lbs!

Only changes are FMIC and charge pipes.

Before FMIC started at 90 degrees and peaked at 130. Delta of 40 degrees. Peak Boost 20psi
After FMIC started at 77, ended at 91, delta of 14 degrees.Peak boost 23.5 psi

The change in temperature is most relevant because of different starting temps.

Huge difference. All these numbers are from our mustang dyno with COBB OTS tunes.

 

[iso100]

Very nice. The CAT compensation was definitely kicking in to reduce timing during the before log.

Front End Pic.

Notice how much of the grill the intercooler uses?

 

[JasonHaven]

Lookin good!

with the CP-E FMIC and all CP-E parts. Little to no rise in temp. Just learned about datazap.

Regularly staying at ambient temp.
[MENTION=3126]eleven[/MENTION] AWESOME. Our cars are twins. Have the 1552 spoilers in paint right now and mudflaps on the way.

Just wanted to share my experience after autocrossing with this intercooler.

- When I am waiting and idling before the run (usually a good 15 minutes between runs) the temps do climb. I remember being almost 30 above ambient. To be fair, the whole car is heatsoaked. Any Air-to-air intercooler will do this. there is little to no cooling going on...

-I didn't log during the run, however, I did check temps after the run, and they were back to 1 degree above ambient. Which means in a 40-50 second run with lots of boost and full throttle, the temps went DOWN 30 degrees. I was very happy with the performance and recovery times from the intercooler.

(I know, I am biased... yea yea yea, just trying to share)
