Larger Top Mount

[NISR227]

Does anyone know how good the larger top mounts are, eg ARC (I think thats what they are called) top mounts?

Anyone done any efficiency tests or got a pictures?
Can we running slighter higher boost with these?
Any web sites?

I've driven a car with an ARC intercooler and a car with a larger intercooler that was apparently off one of the old NME cars. Both were very torquey and strong (bothat about 1 bar) and both owners said they'd got a noticeable increase in torque and response after fitting them.

I've also read elsewhere that a decent high-flow top-mount will give a similar increase ion torque to a decent front-mount, the only down-side is they still suffer from heatsoak.

No idea about running higher boost though.

Hi guys
I run an ARC top mount and yes instant improvement, more torque
and stronger higher up the rev range highly recommended
because of the wider cooling fins you get much better air flow
so heat soak disappears quicker (even at 1.4 bar)

How much are we looking at for one of these and where can we get them from?

Well its luck of the draw where you get it from as I don't think they make them any more, I just kept putting up posts for one, can cost though
and they get snapped up quick I paid 250.00 some are cheaper some more
