(ringsperformance) single-pass IC pics?

[Avi Meron]

Ken,
Since I think a few more people might want to know, I am cc it to the list.

I have probably the first single pass that ringperformance had (other than
their testing ones).

My car is:
1. 86 Turbo Q type 44
2. Modified with a K24 turbo (OEM is K26)
3. Chipped with a 1.7Bar chip and spring
4. Low compression engine (OEM, no change)

Ringperformance single pass:
1. Installed and on the car for about 2 years
2. Pressure tested prior to installation (to 50PSI) with no leak
3. No leaks or problems of any sort
4. For the lower piping I substituted the clamps that came with the kit to
hydraulic line clamps
5. Painted the cooler black
6. Easy to install

Performance notes:
1. No specific testing with instrumentation were performed, all information
is "seat of the pants" version.
2. Seem to heat up LESS during hot runs
3. Seem to rev. up a little easier
4. Boost seems to be there quicker................. A little difficult to
explain but as a driver it is self explanatory

I know James (ringperformance) WELL and highly recommend the cooler! It is
probably one of the best upgrades you can do!

I hope the above helps some.

As for your other questions regarding the Ultranators, yes I have done quite
a few already! (For Coupe GT included).

Take care,
Avi

Hi Avi,

Can you comment on the change in personality in the car?  What configuration
are you running (which turbo, compression ratio, boost level, etc.)?

Also, do you have ultranators for Type 85 motors, such as a Coupe GT?

Thanks,

Ken
