Would I gain anything from lower IATs given this datalog ?
Hi,
Here is a graph of my IATs and timing during a logging session. The gear changes are 1-2-3-4-idle-2-3-4-idle. The X axis is the RPM. I wonder if there could be any added power benefits by a larger intercooler given these timings ? Also, don't the IATs look pretty high compared to the ambient temp ?

You will find benefits of an intercooler in 3rd+ gears, really 4th and 5th where heat soak really plays in. The power increase wont be anything mind blowing but if you notice the car getting slower between back to back pulls thats where the intercooler will show its benefits.
Last but not least it allows the turbos to do less work to create more efficient power. Looking at your ignition it seems par for the course. 4th gear the first time was a little low at first, but nothing to call home about especially on pump gas. Considering your 2nd (4th gear) pull had excellent time I would say it was simply adapting. What were the ambient temps? I would invest in a more powerful tune and an intercooler down the road personally. |
