Large IC install/pluming

[S2central.net]

I think fitting such bungs to the intercooler is good - then you can measure its efficiency nicely - but it would also be nice to have them in the hoses in/out of IC - so that improvements from S2 to RS2 (or bigger) IC can be effectively measured.

OK - I'm familiar with K-Typ. No problems - I just haven't seen an elegant way to install it in the hoses. I was thinking of some small metal pipe carrying the sensor - fitted in between two silicon hoses.

Do you have a pic of the method used to fit the K-Typ into the hose ?

Yes sure, its much better with full hard pipe work turbo to TB but no reason why it cant be done on a Standard set up.

Use a gland like this

And then you have to buy the weld on flange of course or make your own

....oh sorry LLK = Ladeluftkühler (in German) , it is the Intercooler.....

It's an k-typ wiresensor , put one with the pop off in the silicon hose before Ic and one before the throttle...

I have done the same on mine

LLK is the german abbreviation for an Intercooler.

'RS2 LLK' - what does that mean ?

Can I ask what sensors you used for this and how you inserted them - on the body of intercooler or what ?

Hy,

here the measured values with XXL Ic 600X300X76 at the picture:

Outsidetemp. 10°C

............~...bar pressure.....out of charger.........before throttle
..........................0,0..................40° C..........................12°C
..........................1,0..................90° C..........................18°C
at 250km/h.........1,8.................130°C............... ..........28°C


This is ca. 8-10°C under the RS2 LLK measured values.

Whith RS2 Charger i have at 1,8bar round 200°C out of charger

Hi s2dude,

if You could find to the article - it will be very usefull. I would like to get some knowledge about minuses on the U shape tube turns...

Hi mate, he does not come here that often now afaik as he does not have an s2 now, you could try pm'ing him tho as I think he checks that.

cheers

Agree with this.
Im no expert but I know this is not a good design in terms of pressure loss. Cant find the link ATM but there was a good article on IC designs and this type was not favoured at all due to the air having to do a complete U turn on entry/exit to the IC..

Newshm hows the IC running? Have you noticed any big differences over the last couple of months?

[Robatron]

Good work Newsh!

I have a monster I/C sitting at home that I quite fancy fitting at some point, but looking at this I think I *may* (read as definately) need some help doing it!

[newsh]

He he - I can take it

I will have to go back to S2 school

You can start with the two day Aux Rad Removal Course.
