which intercooler will decrease lag for my sr i prefer a front mount.

 

i think any FMIC will reduce lag..u can do a DIY FMIC..buy a spearco or a hybrid IC and do the piping..u can get a shop to do the piping trust urself

 

ahh thanks ,are you the only guy that helps others?

 

A FMIC on a stock SR will increase lag and decrease your hp. If you're turning up the boost, just buy a name brand kit like Blitz, HKS, Apexi and you'll be fine. Thay all have a pretty low pressure drop.

 

I try my hardest to help others..i know sum info so i try and spread it. There are many others that help people out..im just on more then them lol

If ya got the money for the name brand ones go for it, but if ya aint go with a custom one..im sure it works just as well if not better if u do it right.

 

i have a greddy front mount...its the bigger one, it fits perfectly and looks really good, also it isnt that expensive, good luck

 

how does it affect your lag and power?

 

The bigger the intercooler you get the more lag your gonnna get simply because the turbin needs to fill that space to pressurize it. To compensate lag you can get a bigger turbin or a smaller intercooler.

 

well i have the bigger greddy front mount, the lag isnt very significant...full boost which is stock (7psi) for me, will come around 2500rpm

 

Why are you only boosting .5?

What size IC and turbo are you running?

 

stock turbo, the larger greddy front mount i dont know what the dimensions are...and yes i know im loosing power...however i want to get a koyo radiator and proper fuel before i bump up the boost

 

it'll be absolutley fine at .8 , i gaurantee

 

www.streetimports.com sells huge i/c cores like 24'12'3, big man, big, I like my HKS typeR FMIC kit, but to each is own!

 

Just keep in mind that bigger is not always the best route to take when it comes to IC's. Like Monkey said, the larger the IC the more area needs to be pressurized by the turbo. I still have my SMIC because until recently I didn't have a boost controller. Now that I have a controller, my next step would be to get a FMIC to help cool the higher boost I plan on running.

With IC's, its a matter of which one has the least pressure drop vs. whcih one is more efficient. Don't forget that you can also shorten your IC pipes and mount your IC similar to what SCC did with their Project Silvia. Shorter piping = less lag.

 

yeah i say go the custom route, thats what i plan on doing, i want to find the core off of a 944 turbo, or a starion/conquest and then make costum piping for it!!!

btw......anyone have a I/C core (944 or starion/conquest) for cheap that there selling???
