Richgit being trailored home...

I suppose the air coming out the back of the intercooler would be quite hot from the heat it's removed from the intake air. This hot air would be what's going through the radiator.

 

not clever enough to stop my head gasket blowing

I think that it is perfectly plausible to replicate track conditions on road.

For instance, down shifting, heavy braking, accl out of corners, high rpm reached in short spaces etc. etc.

Think of it as a rally stage.


Just my 2p

Course it is, youd just have to be driving like a total moron to manage to do so

Me old mans car had a G60 rad and it stayed on temp all the time, he had it round the track alot to..Mind you it didnt have an oil cooler and wasnt runnign quite as much boost i dont think..

His intercooler went from headlight to headlight to, allard job, it was only a single fan on the rad...

Could have been a million and one things really..

 

phew i thought i was going mad!

 

i was thinking the same

 

for a small distance i can understand but to replicate the stress's of a track session on the roads you'd need a HUGE stretch of road and to be pretty much caining it the whole way.




somthing that CGTI would never endorse!

 

i mentioned it honest

 

i was ignoring you Ian

as always [:^(] you don't love me like you used to

 

Might be an idea to drop the water pump out and see if the plastic impeller is still in tact

 

I'd rather trust a woman, in that case I wouldnt have to replace another gearbox! - jking

That was before you bought the Fiat

 

Recardo - your point about comparng 1 driver to the next isn't really of any relevance.

We are talking about 1 person in the same car, on track and then road.

Road driving, no matter how hard can ever compare to track driving. Simple.

 

unless you drive like the bloke in the red 320i beemer

 

At last!
