Any updates whether it will be available at least by the end of Apr?

 

I'd be interested in the the black option if I can have it before going to MOTD and it fits a 2013 GP.

 

We've run into a production snag with the protruding front bars. I'm looking into solutions and will keep everybody updated. We will have the ability to powder coat the coolers black for an extra charge.

We do have the Gen 2 coolers in stock and available for immediate shipment if you can't wait. If you're in the crowd looking for the smoking price, than hang tight: we're working feverishly...

 

I am interested. Let me know where pricing comes out.

 

+1

 

Would powder coating affect the efficiency of heat transfer ?

 

Please take me off the list. Thanks!

 

Any updates?

 

Count me in.

 

....correct me if im wrong....but wouldnt you want to REDUCE laminar flow through the intercooler?

Laminar flow results in lower air speeds and is less effective at heat transfer because you are only heating the 'boundry layer' of the air that is in contact with the intercooler thermal surface.......most of the air flowing through will not actually contact the intercooler thermal surfaces because it will be insulated by the smoother flowing air.

it seems to me that you would want the air to be as turbulant as possible when flowing through the intercooler to increase air speeds and to create a more homognous temperature of the air.

 

But isn't Helix talking about the design of the end tanks? I'm not an expert in intercooler design, but I don't think the design of those tanks is optimized for maximum cooling. The design of the end tanks is probably more important for reducing pressure drop across the system, which would be greater for a more turbulent system (if I recall correctly).

 

Still interested, one last mod before I stop and or companies stop making stuff for the R56 and move on to the F56

:(

 

Update?

 

i'm out just couldn't wait any longer. Heat soak was just holding the track beast back to much.

 

Take me off I just bought the current model at MOTD from Helix. Suits me fine for my needs and had it installed, plus a short shifter and Hochkis rear sway bar

Did they mention anything about the new model when you talked to them at the Dragon?

 

I'd like to be part of the group buy if the price is right.

 

I spoke to Eric from Helix the other day and he said he was unable to provide an ETA on the gen 3 because they are still waiting on production from overseas.

 

saw on Facebook today they are getting the prototype assembled.

 

Is it too late to get on the gb list?

 

Is it too late to join the list?

 

Sry for the dbl post.

 

New member here. Is there any info on pricing for the gen 3 product?

 

Helix didn't offer the Group Buy!
The thread was started as a "IF You're Interested" thread.
Everyone wants a better price, but none was ever offered.
And somewhere in here They state they are working on a newer version.
This thread was actually started back in August of 2013.......

 

It's not too late, and we are getting close to announcing the GB. Prototypes are finally being built as we speak, and as soon as testing is done, we'll announce the GB. Finally, we're making real progress!!!
