mk1 sc, worth upgrading to W2A
Posted by ~Ray @ 2008-10-10 03:11:31
Forced Induction Turbocharged. Supercharged. Twin-Charged or Leaf Blower Charged - It's all in here.
I have an '86 mk1 sc with the 12psi pulley. Is it worthwhile ditching the stock A2A IC and putting in a W2A ?anyone done this and has advice ?just wonderin if theres any noticeable improvementcheers
yeah i know its gonna make the intake charge cooler than the stock IC but how much of a difference is it really ? i guess most people to this upgrade along with other things so cant really single out the benefit to this particular change are we talking a couple hp gain or 10 or more ?
hard to tell i know it can be significant you're running the 12 psi pulley.. plenty of heat generated there!
not worth the money? the set-up doesn't cost THAT much!i personally am using a dual-pass bar and plate air-to-air IC that does just fine!

it's not a matter of putting on a w2a i/c and getting more power straight up! much lower charge air temps will result in a little more hp by itself sure but being able to tune the engine more with those cooler temps is where the added 'more hp' bonus comes in plus to mention the cooler the charge air temps the better the fuel economy too and remember the larger the heat exchange up front the more effient the system will be in a engine layout like a aw11 w2a i/c should of been stock!!!
