Has anyone tried this, and is it worth the money? I'm running the Greddy kit on my lude w/ type 31 intercooler. Since I'm on stock internals, will it be ok to run it?
It would stress the engine more, but it shouldnt matter. The effect of cooling the IC is to make the air colder, thus more dense, which means when it reaches the cylinder, you can burn more fuel. More fuel = more power!
if this thing really makes the intake air temperature that much colder, i would strongly suggest you have a fuel control setup that takes the IAT into account, or tune it running the nx cooler and then leave it at those (rich) settings. what you don't want to do is add a ton of air (cold air = dense) and not add any fuel. since it won't affect manifold pressure at all, if you're not taking IAT into account you won't be adding any fuel "automatically" unless (on stock ecu) it gets cold enough for for the stock ecu to do it by itself. (0 degrees.)
also beware that the stock ECU adds a lot of timing when it gets that cold.
This Dyno is without the NX Boost set at .45 BAR (6.615 PSI)
He's says about 30-50HP increase...This is also an SI. He has forged internals WITHOUT sleeves they are coated pistons. His Screen name on superhonda is TurboNOSlude and don't have his e-mail.
