Talking Re: My Cooling-Project
Way to go, the cooling is the deal to make more power.

Boost pressure is not lost, it conserved but in a different form. The cooler air charge is DENSER and occupies less volume which results in less MEASURED pressure or boost. If you were to chill the air, the pressure would fall even more, the S/C is injesting lots of air and pushing it into the engine. If the parts are hot the same volume of air in pounds of WEIGHT, would represente more cubic feet of air due to expansion. Its like the pressure in the tires falling in cold weather or the tire pressure increasing after warming the tires in a burnout or hard run on the track.

The S/C is actually getting more air into the engine as the BACKPRESSURE is lower ( you call it less boost ) due to the reduction of air temperature as compared to the original factory cooling systems. Colder is better on so many levels...............

I have not gotten a dyno schedule yet to check my 185 pulley from eurocharged. It will be interesting to see the power with all my cooling mods and a 185 versis the 178.
