Anyone know where I can get hold of Tarox disks for the 300 and how much would they cost?

email them, you can speak to the lovely lady at Tarox herself (i met her in Rome)

and she will sort you out.

 

I think the 330mm discs and 6 piston calipers were about £1300.00

ta for that, I've just emailed them, just gonna go for the standard replacement grooved disks they offer.

Oh yeah how is the group buy going for those intercoolers Warren, Well up for a pair of those, should give a bit more power due to the better flow which equals less pressure drop, I believe.

So if you get better flow through the larger i/c's then how does it also cool the air more ? And, if the I/C's are larger then is the airflow internally directed around more vanes/vents (whatever), because if not it will just take the path of least resistance, ie up the middle therefore generating a hotspot. And, if the internal volume is larger than standard then surely much of the time there will be a greater pressure drop ...

 

Not trick questions, I just don't understand much about intercooler theory and design.

I have the 32 groove tarox discs on the front of mine. Braking is great but wear is poor. And they seem to squeal all the time unless on brand new pads or it has been raining heavily.

and i quote

"When air is compressed, it heats up; and when air heats up, it expands. So some of the pressure increase from a turbocharger is the result of heating the air before it goes into the engine. In order to increase the power of the engine, the goal is to get more air molecules into the cylinder, not necessarily more air pressure.

The intercooler further increases the power of the engine by cooling the pressurized air coming out of the compressor before it goes into the engine. This means that if the turbocharger is operating at a boost of 7 psi, the intercooled system will put in 7 psi of cooler air, which is denser and contains more air molecules than warmer air"

 

And it works as you scale up.

Like i say, they are almost bang on to the HKs or stillen ones. We have flow tested one, and it has a much larger surface and cooling area.

I will give specs closer to the time.
