Just a thought......

 

Going with the Wings West front bumper:

 

Front mounted intercoolers, I take it you need two?? Or will one suffice with remapped pipework?

 

WHats the usual setup?

 

Anyone draw me a diagram?

 

And has antone got the specs of any uprated intercoolers? There seems to be loads of ebay for different cars (New and uprated ie. scooby front mounted) which are quite cheap, ie. £200 - £500 compared to the £1200 that some charge?!? :confused:

 

Need advice oh wise ones :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: :duffer:

no mate fmic is a single - personally i would go for upgraded side mounts anyday - no change of restictive cooling over the rad.

Thats a good point CJ......

 

Dont people run FMIC without any probs though?

Indeed CJ is right, and there are a few people who have overheating probs with front mounts, uprated side mounts are the way yo go for you, plus you avoid the plumbing nightmare with the FMIC!

The plumbing was what I originally thought was gonan be a mare Mark TBH.

 

So okay, I will go for the side mounts, whats the difference between standard and upgraded? Can u fit bigger IC in those small gaps?

 

Also, can anyone give me any links so I can get specs, prices, info etc et etc

 

:duffer: Cheers all so far, great help as per uuuuuusual! ;)

I think the Greddy side mounts are very good, they fit in the stock position and use the OEM ducts!, Have a word with chris at getgreddy!

Thanks Mark, I will! ;)

........and if you are looking for better intercooler efficiency make sure to fit intercooler ducting from the inlet grills on your bumper - it forces much more air though the intercooler rather than round the edges.

i run a HKS fmic and have never had a problem with overheating i do have a koyo rad but even before i had that i never had an overheating problem so i wouldnt worry too much there and in the states which is much warmer anyway there well proven over there so dont get put off.

 

but

 

Depending on how much power you are going to run is it worth the hassle?? side mounts are good for loads of power 600+ hp

 

They do look cool though :)

LMAO, yeah they do look cool, no questions asked...... :bow:

 

So I can still get up to 500bhp+ with decent side mounts then? Well in that case, that'll do..... :dance:

Just one point, with FMIC you still have TWO ICs, they're just attached to each other mechanically. 2 Ways of doing this, 2 ICs one on top of the other, or 2 ICs next to each other. Latter way keeps the original 'cross flow' (drivers turbo feeds passenger bank and vice versa), first way makes it so the drivers side turbo feeds the drivers side bank etc...
