Over this past weekend i had the oppurtunity to test out the new rjc ic-315-xtf to see if it would help me with my overheating issues and let me tell ya the results were jaw dropping. Let me start by listing my mods to the cooling system i have a three core aluminum radiator brand new only two weeks old. I also have the dual spal fans and a boxed in front end to force air through. i was currently running the rjc 325 intercooler and always had heating problems in the ninety degree tempurature range. I have a 10 sec. gn that a drive 60 miles round trip to work at times. The real problems i was having was the last five miles of my commute is a thousand foot steady climb. With the ac on i could barely make it a third of the way and my temps would be about in the 230 range would have to shut off the ac but the car would only recover 10 degrees and was very frustrating. I would do the climb without the ac and my temps would be in the 200 to 205 range . So jason told me to give this new intercooler a try i took it to work the next day and drove home with the ac on max. when i made it to the top of the five mile climb my temp was 195 and it was 98 degress out. At the end of the climb there is a stoplight it turned red so i sat there for the usual minute and a half and hte temp recovered 5 degrees and maitained it i couldnt believe it i hadnt drove all the way home with the ac on on a hot day with the frontmount ever. So o drove the car to work the next day but didnt use the ac at all just wanted to see what the temp would be and my temps at the end of the climb were 180. And the power feels the exact same when i punch it. I think with this in tercooler we can have our cake and eat it too.
