Just got my new intercooler .... what do you guys think?


























Curtousy of Budweiser racing, their new ice cold beer to air intercooler with ice cold beer injection should reduce intake temperatures dramatically on FD's. Call now for pricing!

On a side note, here is why my engine bay is apart.

 

LMAO and OUCH

 

I woulda drank one if I werent alergic to alcohol. So is this considered driving with intoxicating alcohol ? There a law against that.

 

All bottles are kept closed to help reduce heat soaking.

 

That looked like your turbo ingested a few canned bottle of beers there.

Seriously, how did this happened?

 

daaaamn....what did you do to your turbo? Drop a bottle cap down in there!?

 

Maybe he was a bit intoxicated while working on his car one day and thought " Hey there! I bet this is a SWEET way to open my beer ) Looks good Jens!

 

wow, seriously now... what happened?

 

No intoxicated tinkering with my car! Nut backed off the compressor shaft and took its toll on the blades. When I took off the intake to the secondary, the nut was just laying there.

 

What about the remants of all the blade? It must have either went inside your engine or stuck in the intercooler?

That is strange that the nut backed off. The nut is crimped after it's tightened on the shaft from what I saw of the last set that lasted 100K on my car.

 

Well, they were rebuilt 50k ago, the turbos possibly over spinned or just lack of proper building. We will never know. The shards got caught in the intercooler .... but one shard was laying in the intake elbow. I started it up and it sounds ok .....

 

how are you going to get them out of the IC?

 

wow jensy, that is some bad luck--boostless FD indeed . I've only seen that one other time, on an HKS T51R Kai when I was at Rotary Performance a while back. On my new set of BNR turbos, Bryan added left hand thread nuts on the compressor wheels so that I don't have to worry about that.

 

how much boost were you running on those turbos before they blew? that sucks...

 

Care to describe the noises you heard?

 

Made a weird high pitch sound. At the time I was only at a couple psi trying to get around someone on the freeway. It would see 16 psi though. A friend of mine had this exact same happen a week ago and it turns out the same place rebuilt both our turbos ....

 

what place was that (turbo rebuild)?

...........just sent mine out thats why i ask

 

yeah, where did you guys get them rebuilt?

 

wow.... that sux! hope they give you some money back for a crappy rebuild!...... hope it wasnt a popular place everyone sends their turbo's to!

 

isn't 16psi pushing the stock turbos pretty hard?

 

The place is in TX and I don't think anyone contracts them for twins anymore. I would say 16 psi on stock turbos and stock IC and stock fuel is pushing it ....

 

That'll buff right out.

 

section8... roqu3... you guys are great!!!

hahahaha

budwiser IC... hahahaha

WHAT DID THE NUT LOOK LIKE???

 

sucks about your luck...

Im pretty sure some labatt blue would do the job better though..

(ive got a set of stock turbos if your interested)

 

I was going to go the Labatt route, but my sources at Beer Intercoolers Inc told me that it doesn't hold well above 15 psi.

If this deal with a friend falls through, I'll definitely contact you about the turbos. Thanks everyone for the kind comments.
