Hi JoeXR6,
On a 28 -30C day air temp before intercooler 70 - 80C , air temp into intake throttle body approx 25-26C .While driving , temp will will stay around 28C if you don't have to stop to much.
Through heavy traffic temp will rise to about 38-40C but if you get clear will come back to about 30-32C.
As for pwr increase haven't had a chance to dyno it yet,but feels heaps good!Will let you know when we do.
Wife drives car and doesn't notice much difference, I notice that the pwr doesn't drop off when playing like it used to.

Fordfan rang me today to about his post ........ I hadn't even seen it until today, I also had a quick discussion with him.

On the temperatures its all good, all the evidence is there and FF logged this for weeks with his dual thermcouple multimeter thingo.

When he comments that the wife doesn't notice it (the change after intercooling) he means that she can drive it just how she wants (part throttle only) and car is docile to drive and not producing any frightening power spikes, ie same as before it was intercooled and same like when car was stock. This is exactly how he wants the car, great for her and great for him, see next paragraph.

FF tells me the car is much more powerful (not tested) and that when playing hard the power now stays constant as there is no power reduction due to heating of intake charge. FF maintains this car is now something to respect as a driver when in the fun zone, it delivers significantly more torque and this is felt more ........ especially so when cornering. Snapping the throttle to full open when cornering is really asking for big trouble

While I haven't sifted through all 29 pages of this thread (yet), I haven't seen much mention of what cams people are using with these systems. I have a wade 1604 & jmm dev5 and a stock cam.. is whats good for n/a usually also good for forced induction?

I understand you have 3 camshafts

Fair enough mate, theres certainly enough info on the subject on FM, was just wondering if there was any specific recommendations

just posting my update on my raptor kit..
even though my engine is an au but im running the ef/el kit..
so anyway i have had my blower upgraded and am running the smaller pulley to up the boost..
so far so good..but it was suffering a bit of compressor surge/flutter and
with tims advice ive now fitted 2x 32mm blow off valves..

this is my set up now...

get a dyno readout Troy, Id be interested to see what afr's your running as well as total power output.

Looks nice as that setup! looking forward to seing how much rwkw it makes.

SF are chasing me for their Promo kit for the EF .........

2010 is all god

Just a question Tim, would the raptor v unit work on a high compression modified EF XR6. If so would the power output be greater than a kit made for the EF?

XT

yes the kit works exceptionally well with high compression, I know of one instance where the compression was 11:1, no problem if you got a good tuner like Paul from CVE in Melb.

Yes the power output is greater due to the increase efficiency of high compression, do you have other engine work?

Thanks Tim i like the sounds of tha!!! I was wondering for a while if the Raptor V would work or be too big for a straight six. Yes the mods are 12:1 compression, stage 3 Crow Cam, Eliminator switch chip, extractors and a 2.5 inch cat back exhaust. Im not sure what head work was done on the car but when i did a compression test it was well above standard, around 11.5:1 or 12:1 about 178 psi.

might be right there Tim il get the correct figures when i get the car tuned and dynoed at chiptorque.

this week i finally got around to fitting the 36lb injectors for this kit and its currently running extremely rich, so its off to be dyno tuned next week..
anyway for those who are interested in a little in car vid, i did one today..
