I am sorry for not providing logs guys, congrats Fast400 for the intercooler and thank you very much for the graph I am also very satisfied with the intercooler here

[Fast400]

I'll try to add logs tonight.

[Fast400]

I can't seem to load the whole log, but here's the HP ratings from both. Disregard where the lines are, but rather look at the peaks. I gained over 10hp according to the logs. I didn't expect anything other than slightly cooler IAT.

Does anybody that has ER or ATM comment on how this compares the more premium brand? Is it worth the savings? I mean it clearly shows it works well but is it actually a value proposition?

Looking at what was posted, looks like with Rev9 temps are going up around 20-25 degrees when doing a pull vs ER they are staying the same throughout the pull.
My conclusion is Rev9 is a good upgrade over stock but the Evolution Racewerks does a better job.

[Earthmaster]

Well it better be better. Its quite a bit more expensive. Just trying to quantify if its really worth the additional price or does the Rev9 give great value or is it just a you get what you pay for sorta thing, then I would prefer the ER. I'll only go with Rev9 if it offers better value.

Not sure how we can quantify it for you. To some it is worth it, to others it is not. You have the data and the prices.
If i were to upgrade the stock FMIC, i would go with the best upgrade available as long as the price is reasonable ( which in this case it is).
Where are you located ?

[Earthmaster]

Canada.......... and exchange rate are terrible.

[Fast400]

For what it's worth, I'm thrilled with the Rev9. IAT temps are lower. The last graph is a hp comparison not temperature. So there's a slight HP gain too. For $400 it's an awesome affordable choice. You could buy two for the price of one ER or ATM.

BTW- the logs you see were peaks during extreme driving conditions...120-140mph, then idle, then 100-140mph again (traffic permitting)

Do you have a DIY install? I probably need to pay someone and also looking for chargepipes combined.

[Fast400]

The hardest part was getting the plastic clips off of the hoses. Takes about 1hr if you know what your doing. A shop shouldn't charge more than 1.5 hrs.

and here is my charge pipe

[gklhso]

again @ half price !!

[Newguy123]

Just ordered a rev9 for my e series for $438 after tax and shipping. I can post before and after logs with and without meth with stock/rev9

does that fit x drive?

[Acekillerpc]

Still on the fence about which intercooler to get. Anyone else who purchased Rev9 can give more feedback and what mods their cars have? Thank you.

yup will post before/after logs as soon as i have it. im FBO with pure stage 2 turbo dyno'd 520whp.

[Newguy123]

*WILL UPDATE AS SOON AS I DO SAME TEST WITH REV9 FMIC*



TEST #1-STOCK FMIC (FIRST PICTURE BELOW)

(n20 sensor)

all logs taken within 45 seconds of each other.

Map2 -this pull was done in 4th gear with NO meth. started at 3K rpms.

Ambient air was 73*. IAT's start at 105* and end at 161* by the top of 4th gear at 6800 rpms.

TEST #2 STOCK FMIC WITH METH (SECOND PICTURE BELOW)


MAP 7 This pull was done in 4th gear as well starting at 2800 rpms but with meth. CM10 60/40 mix.

Ambient air was 73* IATs start at 107* and end at 109* by the top of 4th gear at 6700rpms. only 2* above starting temp.

same comparison will be done with the rev9 and i will update this thread.
