Is it worth it,fmic?

[astarozna]

Was thinking if it's worth to do same side pipe entry and exit fmic. It would eliminate turbo to cooler pipe which travels over exhaust many, just turn the turbos cold side 180deg and run the pipe to the same side from which the pipe runs in to the inlet many??? But then i was thinking if air has to travel from one side to the other and back, would it be worth doing at all and how much would it reduce lag if it would at all?

Its not really worth doing, its not going to make much difference unless its 330bhp+

 

[astarozna]

say 400ish bhp

the best design for an intercooler must be the one Radtec or NorrisDesign did.

 

[fubar andy]

Maybe, but I would try to reduce the piping from and to the intercooler as much as possible.

Something like like (Norris Designs)

 

[astarozna]

You would need a shorter rad for that, right?

 

[fubar andy]

With the ND unit you have to modify the radiators location, but you can make similar units without the hassle and be just as good (not eBay stuff).

 

[astarozna]

Will look in to it tomorrow, thanks. That is the best pipe run so far!

 

[saddler]

the blitz unit uses the same side pipe entry..

you can also get an custom radiator which will fit with the ND intercooler and be more efficient than the crap standard one.

I have a norris intercooler if your looking for one??

And as andy says you will have to modify where the rad sits i think i moved mine down 3" but the best bet is to get a custom rad..

Spec R do a similar intercooler to the Norris one but they only rate it to 350bhp. They also do a shortened rad to allow cooler pipes over the top.
