_shaun_ Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 no idea on a starlet but one of my mates is into his vag stuff. he had some bother with his as intake temps where 48degrees and the ecu was starting to retard the timing he then moved onto a custom cooler and dropped it down to 37degrees they managed to squeeze 18bhp extra out the car thats on a 2l so id assume our tempts should be lower Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 ohh okies shaun.thanks for ure input.these temps are on a td04L @ .90 boost. the cooler is a tiny mitsubishi pajero top mount being used as a FRONT mount for my car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jayc-glanza17 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Mikey I ran 34c intake temps at 31c inside the dyno cell on my last map last summer. Edited April 11, 2015 by jayc-glanza17 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Sounds about right Mikey. Depends how efficient the turbo is at pumping and how efficient your intercooler is. The TD04's are at their max efficiency at 1 bar, anything more they start becoming a hair dryer as far as intake temps are concerned from the compressor maps I've seen.The blitz coolers are some of the most efficient cores as well, they are up there with the likes of Garrett/Precision cores.
