Shots fired!

Great deals though, too bad I am not in the market for one yet.

Edit: Ugh, now I'm thinking about it

[theswoleguy]

So which forum sponsor that is awe will respond first, Tag?

No guns here! Just wanting to give everyone an epic opportunity to join the winning team against heat soak/ heat-based power loss before summer hits hard(er) is all.

Not sure what you're askin', my friend. If you'd like contact info for TAG, or any dealer in our network for that matter, shoot me a PM.

My wallet hates you! (Looking into install costs and my finances now )

I wasn't going to do this until I was ready to go dual pulley but, this is hard to pass up.

I want to support a forum sponsor, so the first one to acknowledge this thread gets my money, that's all 😂

Wow! Incredible offer! Wish I would have waited

Don't pass up on this sale if you're on the fence!

[Josh/AWE]

My wallet <3s you! (Looking into install costs and my finances now )

Much <3 to your wallet, especially if it's bi-fold. Big fan of those.

It's a tri-fold so I think our relationship is over.

In all seriousness, I have a credit card for a reason, so I would expect an order fairly soon

truth is.. who experienced heat soak during daily commute up north ? where it's 30 celcius about 20 days per year ? Sure sound tempting to go heat reservoir, but i doubt a canadian daily-driver will experience much heat soak.. any one?

Very true. (I envy your weather :P)

It was 106f(41c) here Sunday and I felt the heat soak even on my stage I tune.

I get tones and you know where I am. I added the awe cold front a few weeks ago (bought on their winter special) and love it. I'll be dual pulley tomorrow and I'll be running meth on top. The colder the better no matter what.

you went all in with 3 component ? I'm suppose to visit OT soon, maybe we could exchange number if ever you are free, i would love to see the dual pulley in action :)

[LA_S4]

wow this is better than the ams alpha cooler %15 off promotion. i might just get this

[kcobourn]

Makes you wonder if people would buy these more frequently if priced 15-20% lower.

How much is the installation typically? (Cost and hours)

I called two local shops and got quoted 5 hours from both. About $525

Good stuff, Joshypoo! Excited to move some Cold Front goodies :)

So question time. If the system develops a leak how can we detect it if the system is divorced, besides looking under the car/opening the external reservoir? After this mod, the oem sensor is only going to detect the engine coolant leakage, right? Lets say the coldfront leaked all its coolant, what kind of damage will it cause? Engine killing damage?

I had cars leak coolant before and the oem sensor saved my butt a few times, thats why I have to ask. BTW loving that you guys fighting for our dollars with these awesome sales!! Keep up these sales!!

[GabrielSyler]

Shame it's $500usd more expensive in Australia

Some "soft" data (in case anyone is wondering on the benefits of this AWE coldfront w/ an upgraded pump) from a log this morning after refilling with my usual fueling mix, 81F, 79% humidity, density altitude 2436 ft. 3rd gear pull from 60 mpg to redline.

IAT started at 45C (I did 3 back-to back runs prior so the S/C was already heated up before I hooked up VCDS), ended at 48C in a 3rd gear run. I was able to hit all timing targets (you'll be amazed at the values I'm hitting), a correction here and there of -.0375, mostly remaining at a value of "0" for corrections.

I would have never been able to run 11.4x this past weekend in 89-93F weather (2872ft. density altitudes) without this unit FWIW.

in short, GET IT if you want sustained and maximum performance for all conditions your car is exposed to.

Answer time!

Fluid levels can be checked by opening the res lid, correct. Correct about the engine coolant point, as well. If by some far out, crazy chance the ColdFront™ System lost all of its coolant the factory safeties would step in. The car will see elevated IATs and start to pull boost and timing and start dumping fuel to keep the motor safe.

In another scenario -- if you went with the heat exchanger alone (remember all of the components are available à la carte) the stock coolant level sensor would remain vigilant over the supercharger cooling loop.

Side note sparked from your great question, and I recall noticing some individuals expressing concern in other areas regarding the divorce in the system -- and I'd like to mention that a divorce has a significant, positive impact on the cooling.

We found the engine and supercharger were fighting over coolant, so a divorce was granted at the factory coolant reservoir.

The CNC machined 6061 billet aluminum ColdFront™ Coolant Reservoir is plumbed directly into the heat exchanger coolant system to increase supercharger coolant levels by 2.175L. Decoupling the supercharger coolant supply and increasing the thermal capacity softens temperature spikes, lowers coolant temperatures, and decreases air intake temperatures.

Some cool data below from our torture testing:

Coolant Temps:

The ColdFront™ Heat Exchanger produced a maximum temperature drop of 13.7°F @ 6960 RPM when ran alone , and 14.5°F @ 7100 RPM when adding the ColdFront™ Reservoir. As a result the system achieved a maximum temperature drop of 24°F when compared to the stock unit.

IATs:

Eight pulls on the dyno - during the eighth pull the intake air temperatures had climbed upward of 180°F at redline on the stock configuration. With the larger ColdFront™ Heat Exchanger in place, a maximum air intake temperature of slightly over 165°F after eight pulls was produced. With the (optional) ColdFront™ Reservoir added, a maximum air intake temperature of just under 165°F after the eighth pull was produced while achieving lower temperatures throughout the first seven pulls as well.

Power Retention:

The stock configuration gave a power loss of 12 WHP @ 6900 RPM by the fourth dyno pull. With the ColdFront™ Heat Exchanger the loss of power was reduced to just 4 WHP @6900 RPM, and with the ColdFront™ Reservoir paired to the ColdFront™ Heat Exchanger, there was no power loss at all after the back-to-back dyno pulls.

Results are even more significant with the ColdFront™ Coolant Pump equipped in conjunction to the other components, which can be seen below:

Damn that's a great deal! I put mine on last month (Full kit with pump) at the same time that I went APR Stage 2.
Ran it at the track (road course) recently and damn is it solid. Supercharger was pretty much cool to the touch after some hard runs. VERY happy with the decision to do this upgrade.

Nice, Leo! Thanks for sharing that. Couldn't have said that last bit better myself.

Excellent, Z. The ColdFront™ Pump is a seriously hefty layer of icing on the cake. Good move, and I'm happy you're enjoying it and putting it through the ringer.

Well if you have Drive Select then yes, you will need the Drive Select Cooler:
