You said TDIfly had a 2 line cooler. Looks more then 2 lines. My biggest concern is how to you mount a line cooler? I dont see any holes or brackets.

Right, and when it hits 35 degrees out, and the road air temp is 45, I'm thinking that this loses some of its usefulness. Moving 45 degree air is still 45 degree air, unless you're going to put a mister on it.TDIMAXIMA said:Most of my driving is highway. FMIC, fuel cooler, all work with the moving air. I had my air charge down to 25C cruising home. outside temp was 21.
Most likely because the steering wheel is on the wrong side...mojogoes said:No not all of them.....mine is setup on the feed line.
The temp sensor on ve motors is in the top of the f-pump......and with it setup on the feel line to the pump , when my car is low on fuel it seems to have as much power as if it were a full or half plus tank or even a little bit more powerfull.......but that may be all in my head or from my new found power.SuperJ said:Like someone already said. The cooler should be positioned where there is the larger differential between fluid and air temps. This will give you the greatest BTU/hr capacity.
Anyone know if Mk5's come with a fuel cooler?
It seems to me the car is weaker feeling after driving it for an hour and a half than it is just after warmup. Could be in my head though.
Fly TDI guy... could you post a log of your timing versus fuel temps sampled over the course of a 1 hour plus drive? In a single WOT throttle run the higher temps are probably due to the injection pump heating up. (is the temp sensor on VE engines pre or post pump. The may not be sustained for long enough to produce a timing retard, but this is pure speculation. Maybe the ECU compensats for steady state higher temp conditions that are sustained over time.
I don't have a long duration, hot weather log but... I'll do one on the next hot day we encounter. In another thread, I suggested to prove (or disprove) the timing retard thing that someone get out on a blistering 100º day in the desert (Arizona?) set the cruise for 85 mph and run for as long as possible. In this duration, have a double pole switch set up to kick in the resistor mod KERMA has developed which fools the ECU into thinking fuel temps and IAT are like 30ºC cooler than they really are. One would think that you'd see a jump in timing as well. This would be a hot fuel/air cruising scenario vs my WOT/maximum advance scenario.SuperJ said:Like someone already said.

This mod is not about economy its about not loosing any of the power you have paid for from having to high fuel temperatures.TornadoRed said:Does anyone have any hot-weather before-and-after fuel economy data with a fuel cooler?
And they say you invented the language.mojogoes said:This mod is not about economy its about not loosing any of the power you have paid for from having to high fuel temperatures.
