Re: Another Damned InterCooler Inquiry
When my SRT6 was first dyno tested it was at 249 whp, and after getting 65mm pulley and ecu tune showed 305 whp. Jerry at eurocharged was of the opinion that both results were quite low, and that typical stock was 285 whp and post pulley tune results were at and above 345 whp. So, we agreed that the very low results might be due to a dead IC pump. The pump was replaced with a Bosch 010 pump and the car woke up like crazy. I opened up the original pump and it was full of metal shavings. Later this month I will get a new dyno run on the very same dyno to see if/how much whp was restored by replacing the intercooler pump. After very extensive searching, I have not found a before/after dyno run that shows the actual WHP loss a dead IC pump causes...or at least a sense of the difference on a tuned/pullied srt6. After getting that baseline run done, we'll put on a CAI and see where we end up. I hope that this data will help future and current owners. I feel fairly certain that many SRT6's are being sold because of IC pump failure, a $110 part!!
