Revived; TMIC cooling options

[ginge191]

If you're going to that effort, just use a Water Injection kit...

Seriously, I rekon half the time given a PROPER setup, even with pure water, it gives better results than a badly designed FMIC system...

However the BIGGEST difference you'll see is simply air inlet modifications, give the engine a GOOD unrestricted cold air feed and you'll see power gains way beyond an intercooler system... Liken to driving a car on a cold night, it'll pull better every time!

Remember, if you've not got the air density there to begin with, you can intercool all you want, but you won't get it back!!! Hence a GOOD air inlet system is critical on these engines... The vast majority of the time, you'll end up restricting the inlet, you need such a big inlet pipe for anything past stock... Don't assume that the inlet pipe size is suitable since that's where it draws it's air in... It isn't!!! If you have a stock T2 inlet pipe, I would be using something like 2.25 or 2.5" inlet piping... Anything bigger I'd be trying to step up to 2.75" or 3" pipework...

interesting... a water meth kit could be installed into the inttercooler itself or the pipe connecting turbo to IC?

Also, i'm defiltered on the turbo, need to get it sorted really.. so inlet piping isnt a huge issues as of yet.

TBH come payday i'm looking at getting some adapter plates and start collating some bits and bobs, seeing as the turbo didnt sell, i'll may as well give it a jab, so sorting the induction temps would be useful to have sorted prior to this
