no they stated the tr10 was revised

 

the tr10 was revised to the same core length, the tr12 had the same 22" core length from the get go but im talking about overall length not just the core

 

overall length doesnt have anything to do with the couplers.

 

Ooohhhh I understand now. the Endtanks would be different so the overall length is longer.

Someone is jsut gonna have to test this.

I think when they tested it on Cardelinos car they had it with there special charge pipes so the only thing that tells us is that it at least mounts to the car without a problem, BUT do the elbows line up with the stock charge pipes... hmm.

Well I know how Id rememdy that issue should it be one, and it involves a sawzall and a ruler, lol. But this should be something they should take care of and not something the customer should have to rectify.

Treadstone is known for quality I doubt theyd over look that. But ya never know.

 

if he uses the same elbows with an IC at an OAL of 30" that fits to stock on an IC with an OAL of 28" that the charge piping will be stretched outwards an inch. Question there is, Is there a enough play in most of the charge piping made for our car out there for this?

 

ordered it. i decided to go with the red couplers instead. i didnt see an option for the logo however.

 

Yeah I noticed there was no option for logos either even though he said hes working on the new Logo thats going on it.

New IDea,

If you PAID let me know through PM or message on this thread and I'll put paid next to your name.

 

the link to purchase is here
Cobalt Intercooler Kit, Beta- TREADSTONE PERFORMANCE

Also, we will not be putting the logo on this batch, the stencil will take to long to get laser cut from metal

 

Yeah I updated the front page with the link, thanks Jason.

 

I've just paid for mine! fingers crossed* my intercooler has a piece hanging down currently so this is a great find for me! Thanks Cuda!

 

Trying to outdo me in parts aye

 

I don't think I could catch up to you but I figured a new intercooler wouldn't hurt right? LOL

 

That's why my name is number 1 on that hot list lmao.

 

Starting my baseline iats for the factory ic. Hopefully data will be up tonight.

 

paid

 

The elbows that came with mine are 4.5" on the front-to-back run and 5.5" on the side-to-side run. So all that would be needed to fit them to a 2" wider IC would be symmetrical elbows of 4.5" on both ends. No rocket surgery required.

 

Hmm... I just got a UPS shipment message lol

 

so I got my baseline data on an Excel spreadsheet and chart.... now, how do I get that displayed on this thread

 

print screen!

 

Okay ill see how that looks when I get home.

 

I have the Hahn CP's im pretty sure they are a 2.5" because the couplers that hook up into the intercooler arent a reducer coupler. So that would mean they are the same size as the outlet & inlet for the stock IC, which is 2.5"??

EDIT: i lied... i guess they are reducer couplers, couldve swore they werent. But to me the CP's dont look as big as my exhaust, which is 3", and i thought somewhere i read they were 2.5"? idk??

 

What lol. The hahn cps look massive!, message him and see if you get 3in elbows with the ic should that work.

 

Ordered!

 

Well i ordered the TR8 i dont really need anything bigger, i wont be around 475hp so the tr8 will work fine.

So i know for a fact the Hahn intake is 3" because of where the MAF sits it has to be 3", the CP's are smaller than the intake, BUT there are reducer couplers from the CP's to the intercooler, and the throttle body i beleive is 3" and the coupler for the CP to the throttle body is another reducer (TB being the big side) so im thinking the CP's might be 2.75", but they are deff not 3".

 

Okay The way I take home has alot of red lights so I made sure not to record the data from a stop... if I did it would look like the info you see towards the end of the graph where the temps start to increase.

In retrospec, 50 degree weather may not be the best to test the Aftermarket IC vs the Stocker. But we should see a difference in IATs reguardless of how minute they will be, lol.

I first recorded the initial temps on the IATs and used three different sources to record ambient. My phone, the dash, and the Aeroforce Guage. I used the dash ultimately because I could watch it along with the two IATs on the gauge. I recorded the temps during my drive back from work at certain intervals which I will do with the Treadstone IC. I did two 3rd gear pulls but not too fast as there was traffic and I wasnt planning on going way past the speed limit. My pulls started at 2500rpm WOT to about 4000 - 4500 rpms. again there was traffic but this was enough to see the IAT2s drop drastically from the cruising IAT2s. You will see that 7 degree dip in the flat part of my curve compared to Ambient.

Blue line graph follows my IAT2s minus the Ambient temperature = difference in temp from ambient and Intercooler Temps.

Red line graph follows my IAT1s minus the Ambient temp = difference in temp from ambient and Intake (K&N SRI).

You will notice that as the car sits the intake temp climbs pretty quickly but the IC temp does not. This is of course when the car is sitting idle, once in the beginning and once when I got home. Then I turned the car off and watched the temps.

There is quite a neat curve for the IC temp change from when the car is running while idle and when the car is off. enjoy the baseline. lol.





EDIT: Just noticed a copy paste error in the data chart It should be...

shut car off: wait 1 minute
shut car off: wait 2 minutes
shut car off: wait 3 minutes.
etc..

my bad guys.
