Question For Charged Ppl Out There

BernardTamHK · November 18, 2005

ok ... this should go in the SC/turbo section ... but for some reason, I can't post there cos Im not gold (don't see why SC/turbo should be restricted to gold tho ... ) .....

anyways, my question is ......

what do you think is the "comfortable" operating temperature range for the TTE compressor? i.e. at what ambient temperatures do u think, the TTE kit would start to have problems or cause problems in other parts of the IS?

come'on guys .... time to show some mental muscle here ... this could be a deciding factor for me.... to charge or not =).

Looking at your car Bernard (front bumper) the intercooler will be getting lots of air :D you can and should put different plugs in (ik22) to help with the temp, one or two running the s/c have oilcooler fitted to :D (i have) when duncan was running his with the oilcooler on, his temp gauge it was -15/20 below normal running temp, after he fitted the cooler :D i dont know of any problems that anyone has had with heat and TTE kit. I think someone in OZ is running with the TTE kit, and we all know its hot down under

the legana bumper has the same open surface area as the normal bumper Gord.

anyway, as gord says running cooler plugs and an oil cooler will increase the safety envelope.

running a GOOD induction kit with shielded filter will help lots, as for general under bonnet heat, nothing to worry about

thanks for the input guys .... really good advice.

(just making sure) but u guys are accounting for my geographical location rite? i.e. in HK its 8-13 degrees C during the winter and goes up to 30-36 degrees C in the summer. (the summer can last around 4 months in a year).

yep was taking into account your location.

Yep me to (HK) :winky:

We get summer too, only last about week

great guys! ... that really puts me at ease about gettin an SC .... i guess we all know where i'm headin! :D ....

i guess all i need now ... is to ensure i get the rite things (i.e. the right ECU), an extra belt to go, and start lookin for an oil cooler/CAI come March 06 when it starts gettin hot again! .. hehe

BTW, do all new kits come with the silver ECU?

also on my list are oil catch can, transmission oil cooler and also rad cooling plate.
