Exup1000 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Hello, I was just reading about a scooby someone had done up and at the bottom of the page there was a note saying cars fitted with a top mount intercooler should not run at 140mph or over for prolonged periods of time as damage will occur.can anyone explain a little more? Is it due to not getting enough cold air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Haha well I shouldn't worry about it, unless you was going to be driving down the runway from Fast And The Furious 6 I don't really have an answer to this either. Might be the air flow through the bonnet scoop is not enough at that speed for along period of time to keep everything cool. But I doubt running any car for long enough at 140mph would do it any good :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exup1000 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 I guess, I used to have a mini fire blade ( honda cbr400 gull arm) it only done 135mph which I used to sit at all the way down the A249 which got a bit boring after a while know that I couldn't go any faster.obviously I've slowed done in my oldness of age and only do the speed limit so your right don't have to worry ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Put it down to old age ;) And for some reason I don't believe you when you say you have slowed down either :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
