Yeah seriously its so hot in FL right now.. just an interfooler would be nice.

 

lol, how would a interfooler help intake temps though?

 

Has anyone ever thought about fabricating an intake manifold that has the TB on the other side to reduce charge piping?

 

but then where you put the intercooler?

 

yeah, that's the thing....

 

if youre gonna custom fab an intake manifold then do the same thing with a front mount intercooler

 

Yeah, that'd probably give better performance. heh.

 

Anyone else have their AC piping ripped apart by the SC belt yet?

 

wouldn't that amount to more piping than if you just kept the intake manifold the same and made a custom FMIC

 

yeah, lol. I said Front and intended Top...

 

i meant if he's doing all that custom work, why not do that also. fmic would be better, for me, anyways

 

why is that? looks?

 

idk. im no pro at this.. i just think it would get more air

 

He wants everyone to know what hes got

 

lol.

actually keepitpig, i dunno if you are going to get SO Much more air from a FMIC than the cowl one kraftwerks makes. the power difference, if in fact there was a benefit to it, would be very minimal, and you probably wouldn't notice it.

plus, you get to keep your fogs, and unlike some subies or mazdas, its not sitting right on top of the engine, so its less prone to heat soak.

 

im not sayin the top one is bad.. but it just kinda got me thinkin with that guy saying he was gonna do all that custom work

 

why would this happen?

 

The A/C hoses are a bitch to bend without damaging but if you take your time checking and rechecking the clearance between them the pulleys and other surfaces they may be damaged by they shouldn't suffer any damage...... Have you recently adjusted your belt?

 

ah ok i gotcha.

personally i dont wanna go that route, as the appeal of this kit as oppossed to, say, the tr1 turbo (and to a much lesser extent, the HKS kit) is the plug and playability of it.

 

agreed...out of the box badass...plus the ecu refash is going to be siiiiiick...something that no one else can offer....
