I will be getting my car back soon from Z Tech who is installing a new engine, all parts are being upgraded eg turbos, injectors etc, so their will be a lot more power than stock, I can not yet afford upgraded smic's, will it be ok to drive the car with stock ic's as long as I take it easy?

Yep and long as you don't go too hard out

What would happen if I were to push it, just out of curiosity?

nothing.

just less power then you would have with good upgraded intercoolers

just out of curiosity how much is that costing you? I wish I could have my engine rebuild

The intercoolers won't be able to cool the volume of air sufficiently which could lead to a higher intake temperature and detonation (and a new motor). The other downside is that the tanks are plastic on the stock coolers if I remember correctly and they won't take as much pressure.

I paid £2750 for an already forged engine inc JWT 530bb tubs, nismo 555 injectors, 5 bolt down pipes, rps clutch, lightened flywheel, lightened balanced pulleys, wiesco pistons and all pipes, gaskets, belts etc replaced, I paid a £1000 labour. Chris from Z Tech is doing all the work, it has worked out a lot cheaper this way as it would of come to big bucks. Should be getting it back next week, Cant wait.

I will have to take it real easy for a couple of weeks then until I get my ic's, I will be getting the z1 smic $750, they should be good enough, shouldnt they?

I told my insurance about everything and they didnae really say all that much, to be honest. Just added £500 onto the premium :nelson:

SMW1 checks outside his house to see if he still has an engine of the exact same spec in his car :)
