Intercooler

[CroatianR33]

Would fitting a FMIC to a nearly stock R33 GTS-T make a noticable difference when driving even if the boost isnt tampered with????

[rev210]

yep.

probably go slower.

[CroatianR33]

Is that cause of the added weight or what???

[trent_tr5]

no.. something to do with pressure drop or something like that

[rev210]

at low boost the factory intercooler is able to flow very well and has very short pipe lengths to the motor etc. as such the engine response is superior to a large front mount with the extra pipe work.

It may be possible to size a better flowing core on a front mount and produce slightly better performance with the factory turbo given the pipe lengths are kept as short as possible.

yeah man, rev is right.

Put a big cooler on a car with a stock turbo and std boost - and all you will do is have a lot more lag and maybe slightly more power at the very top end.

raise the boost to 12 psi

How big is to much of an overkill?

Its a custom UAS kit.

Edit: Rev, what dimensions should I consider for a stockish R33 without suffering to much lag?
