I didn't "feel" the i/c swap netted me much if anything.
    Which ebay I/C were you running?

    Do you think a good FMIC would help with the high temps? Is there an FMIC that other TM guys have used w/ success?

    I have a FMIC setup for sale, it would work perfect for you. I used the same style intercooler to make 290whp on my GLH on E85 on my 2.2L. Ran a 13.2 at 110mph

    While it flowed very nice, I do not believe it cooled worth a tinkers damn.

    It would help with intake temps and density, but not with egt's

    I am going to be installing an custom I/C, that I ran on my Shelby Lancer for about 10 years, and see if there is any gain there. It's two talon i/cs. Then I'll be installing an mbc to turn up the boost slightly, looking for 19ish. Once that is done I am going to install an Adj cam gear and dial in the custom cam. Hoping I can get this done soon, but my upcoming move is soaking all my time.

    Re: VNT upgrades.

    crazy question. would a fmic and w/c intercooler compounded together be worth anything? I have not seen that done...probably for a reason..haha

    combining the two would create a lot of lag in the system and wouldn't produce any favorable results i would think.

    find a good flowing/cooling bar and plate i/c use as little plumbing and bends as possible. if you are really worried about intake temps and heat soak add a meth kit and i/c sprayer.

    on my lancer i run a water to air and spray meth. i also filled the i/c system with 50/50 meth/water. seems to cool well and if there is ever a leak my motor will inhale something that will burn vs using a coolant mix.

    matching the right components to your specific system is important, "no one size fits all"

    I was looking at a FMIC like that, Spearco knock-off? What brand?
