New pro alloy cooler unveiled

[The_one]

Notced this today on the jabba and pro alloy websites.

Was the one they have been working on over the last few months.

Would be nice to see some logs from it

Any ideas on cost etc?

 

[The_one]

£810

[Harry's cupra]

just a few quid!!!

 

[PhilW]

Some fitted pics would be sweet as well.

But 810 is gonna put people off loads.

 

[Harry's cupra]

not a better option than forge suppose because of cost, could it improve on forge's?

 

[acidstrato]

unlikely, all it does is cool, and the forge is proven to run fine, theres nothing left in the standard turbo.. its prob better for big power applications

does no one else think thats alot of piping? lol

 

[m0rk]

no bumper mods suggests it must be narrow

Its the intercooler bill was asking about in his section if anyone can remember the thread about do people mind about losing there fog lights this is the intercooler,
its ment to be great for there ihi kits and works very well my friend has that intercooler on his ihi ibiza

Custardcupra has a new Jabba fmic but he has had aircon removed etc.

Looks a nice piece of kit, but as said, there are quiet a few silicone hoses, and pipes, with quite a few joints, which i would see as weak points / possible points which could pop off.

Looks a good piece of kit though.

 

[Jonzy]

Its pro alloy, reputation speaks for itself.

 

[Forbez]

Good or Bad matt? I aint heard much about them,

 

[Jonzy]

Everything good, excellent customer service and superb products. Very much like Forge.

My first call was to proalloy, but they we're still devolping the kit then.

 

[Copra]

it has more pipework because it replaces more if the tiny stock pipework than the forge one by the looks of it?

does no one else think thats alot of piping? lol

actually theres more to it than 'cool the air'

the pipework looks better than the forge one as they have used mandrel bends and not the cut/weld type forge use. This will help with airflow turbulance and reduce pressure loss. Plus the end tank design is on the side not on the back. this means air natrually directed into the core rather than hitting a 'wall' first i.e. front of end tank.....

its not too dis-similar to our designs this just has more silicone than alu pipework

 

[acidstrato]

my mistake then

i figured that if the forge reduces heat to x amount it is physically impossible to reduce any further for the simple fact that no matter how good a cooler is, the end result depends on the air temps hitting the core

for a K03 based car anyway, as others have suggested it seems as if perhaps this cooler has been specifically design for BT applications?

 

[Shock_Xe]

your right for k03 applications its not too fussy on any fmic as anything is an improvement but in the pursuit of more power whatever the means it does make a big difference with the little details

That is a hellish amount of money to pay for an intercooler!
