So i want to pulley down again and go either 2.7 or 2.8. I currently have no cooling mods on the car, iat2 temps are pretty good and never go over 150 with my current 2.9.

What could i expect the zzp s3 to bring my temps too? And is starting with just the zzp s3 good enough to pulley down to a 2.8. I plan on doing option B, dual pass and Meth in Jan Just need to know if i would see a change in temps with the s3 and if pulleying down is safe.

 

Best bet bro just.my judgement.... iat2z whn doinf a full 1,2,3,4 pull never went above 165 and all I had was the s3 with 2.6 and ported and polished sc...

From my experience when i installed my heat exchanger and dual pass at the same time it didn't actually lower my intake temps but made them rise slower during a pull and recover much quicker. Driving down the highway i noticed about a 10 degree cooler difference. It was when i put in my meth that i noticed actual cooler temps. It sits 120-130 after a pull.

 

Thats what I thought it would do, fend off heat buildup and cool down better. After XMAS Ill probably throw on the S3 myself

 

That is what i was trying to say, was looking for it to recover faster.

Now is it safe to pulley down with the the s3 and go down to a 2.7-2.8?

 

Well decided January was coming early. Just ordered the zzp s3, 2.8 pulley. Will get the dual pass and option b next week.

 

I ran my 2.8" for half the summer with no cooling mods. My temps were about 160* after a pull. You will never have an issue. Just not as much power as you could.

 

s3 is a good intercooler i had duel pass option b and everything. it just doesnt cut it honestly i still am in need of more power! lol

 

Have you ever run yours yet? Heading to island this firday night to see what mine does. Hoping for a 13.2 to 13.4. I have not run it since i was tuned by BYT. Then hopefully he can do some tweaking for me later this week when i pulley down again and add the zzp s3. I am looking for mid 12's with my car, that would be my goal when it get done. Just gonna keep adding until i get there.

 

Whatre you measuring your IATs with?

 

HPTuners i would assume

 

Or an Interceptor, correct?

 

I got the H/E mounted good....Car still runs fine but I got heatsoaked like crazy during the summer..im on 2.8.

 

Better put a TVS on you're list lol
