Heading out later this week is one of our Renault Megane RS250 intercooler and auxiliary turbo cooler packages. (Megane RS ‘Generation 3 -2008 onwards’ RS250/265/Cup models) As soon as we tested the Megane RS it was obvious to us that this wasn't going to be simply a case of fitting the largest intercooler we could. Even in standard trim there's significant issues with spiralling water temperatures which escalate as the boost rises through the gears. Simply adding a Front Mounted Intercooler would at best only deal with part of the Meganes issues. So we have addressed the Megane in two ways: 1) Slim line front mounted, high ambient air flow Intercooler with a surface area of three times the OEM cooler. Complete with Air Scoop and mounts for our Auxiliary Turbo Cooler. 2) Auxiliary Turbo Cooler which is fitted underneath the original water radiator, filling the space where the OEM intercooler was fitted. Our results are impressive. The thinner cooler shows a 25% reduction in the recovery temperature between runs and an 18% reduction in the peak intake temperature. Adding the Auxilary Turbo Cooler shows a 7% decrease in water temperatures whilst cruising and most importantly a 5% reduction whilst on boost. Fitting is simple with only very minimal cutting of the plastic trim to allow the fitment of our air scoop. Our pals over at RS Tuning tested out one of our intercoolers on their dyno with impressive results, see link below
