Anybody have experience with the WeaponX setup?

taylorforschool@gmail.com · 11-09-2023, 06:10 PM

I just picked up the heat exchanger set. I’m pretty sure I’m overall going to be able to keep my engine temps down in general. Apparently it could affect the ability of my AC in some situations? Possibly on track I hear it doesn’t keep up with the stock Hx..on long sessions? But I don’t plan on tracking anytime soon and I’m completely stock. Anyways couldn’t find a ton out there so I figured I’d ask the crowd. Any problems concerns with these I should worry about?

Also pics of stock vs WeaponX main Hx comparison

I have the WPX front center and auxiliary HX on my car and I haven't had any noticeable A/C performance issues. I track my car fairly regular and so far everything has been good. I also have the WPX boost chiller on my car (with custom routing), but that is really for street driving. It doesn't really help anything on track. (It actually caused issues on track that I had to find a solution for.)

Sweet. I was a little skeptical of what I had read. That’s good news. Thanks

Yours came with 3 coolers altogether right? The main center and 2 auxiliaries..?

I have the ones from Speed Inc. and had to modify some of the plastic to fit the thicker coolers as well as the side cooler brackets to mount the new coolers. I havent had any detriment in performance either in the 1/4 mile or at Putnam Park. A/C still works fine.

I only have 2. The passenger side HX is an auxiliary engine radiator, not a supercharger HX. IMO it is not necessary. It is a long story, but I also replaced the aux radiator with an oil cooler.
