Someone get the orra racing one 599 euros I’d love to hear some feedback on it

I plan on getting the EC Phase 3 upgrade. From my research Eurocompulsions
Intercooler is significantly more expensive than other after market upgraded intercoolers.


Anyone on phase 3 with a different upgraded intercooler? Not sure why EC is so expensive compared to others?

Eurocompulsion sells out of every batch of intercoolers they have made.

 

Can someone advise what this does practically? I get that it would reduce losses due to heatsoak ie. timing being pulled if overheated, but if for example it’s cold weather and the car is just tooling along, for a single WOT run would it actually result in significant benefit?

You can run a more aggressive tune without running into detonation.

 

I’ve wondered if cooled cabin air could be routed to the intercooler. Probably some legality about it.

 

You’d get far more benefit by spraying it with water. It’s not too hard to do.

 

Thanks RKBerta, thanks a good explanation.

 

For tracking a bigger intercooler does a little as for tuning.
On my last Opel Speedster i installed a watercooled charge kit for maintaining full power


extra radiator mounted under the existing one and a full pump driven watercooled circuit to cool the intake temperatures..
It's a lot of work and e few extra pound more but you can race all day long....

Do'nt know if it's hard to develop a kit like this for the 4c??

 

Yeah I’ve seen refrigerator units for superchargers.

 

It mentions the intercooler is a must need. But from this talk it sounds like it isn't a must for phase 3?

Would love not to have to spend an exta 2k!!!

 

Well it sounds like it would be useful for continuous high power demand (track) and where power has been increased from other mods, since power increases heat? I suppose that once heatsoaked you may as well be stock as the timing will be pulled anyway.

 

For those track occasions, maybe a mod that sprayed water onto the intercooler would be the cheapest and most effective for sustained performance.

 

Intercoolers on small engines need to be a size that aren't to big and flow well.Scara's is perfect, the piping coming out of the exit end is probably close to 8" shorter than stock which always helps, and with his tune it gets up very quick from low down. Water spraying with fine spray definitely works in keeping temps down, have done it before on my jet105 for tracking.👍👍

 

I liked what Scara's intercooler did to my car. Installation wasn't too difficult.
It made the engine feel happier and peppier.
I also added 2 Spal fans with a thermoswitch.

 

What tune prior to the IC?

 

Alfaworkshop.

 

I wonder why Scara73 supplies thiers with an aluminum and a carbon fiber inlet and outlet ports? Why not both in carbon fiber? Or both in aluminum (aluminium)?

 

Maybe things get too hot on the inlet side.

 

The carbon softens with heat. It’s been a problem.
