would the stock TMIC be relibable for 300HP
ok...as the title stated.....would the stock TMIC be reliable enough for 300HP(~10-12psi)....i'll running zerobanger's misting setup as well as autospeed's IC misting cooler.....is this doable or should i just scrap the idea and follow everone else and get a FMIC?....im asking this because i'd hate to ditch the cool lookin T2 hood...it makes the 7 meaner....

you can do the fromt mount but you dont have to lose the hood scoop!
im setting up the misting system as well it will create more efficent boost which will as efficient as putting in a front mount... at least thats what i hear!

Boosting Again
no you cant have a FMIC adn a TMIC. adn with 300hp oyu need a FMIC adn youll jsut haev lto leave teh scoop there, or get an na hood. some people ahev made the scoop adn functional vent toget hot air out of engine bay.

Haven't we ALL heard this
Maybe with the Autospeed IC sprayer and an Aquamist water injection system
After I finish a 1/4 run my intake temps are a little over 80°C However, by the time I coast to a crawl to head back to the staging area....it drops down to about 30°C

Don't ditch the hood, just put a piece of screen over the hole where the IC used to sit so that dead bugs, leaves and what not don't get plastered on you UIM.

I have near 300rwhp 10psi, T04b/T3 S5 hybrid turbo, and a Haltech... I see 150 intake temps on a hot day autox or putting in traffic.... I am putting the zerobanger H2O inject kit on here really soon. If you only run 10-12psi you'll be ok if your smart about hot days and racing hard. I'm trying to stay as far away from a FMIC as possible, they create other problems that I don't want anything to do with.

**** you can boost all day on a fmic and it will be cool to the touch. Try touching your top mount after boost around all day. you don't have to have a giant fmic for it to be effective.
Just pick up one of those long skinny ones on ebay for 200 bucks. Then it will give you better cooling and not completely block the rad so you can still run a efan on the highway.

I think I'm addicted
well, if u like the little "wheeeeee" noise from the hood scoop when u use a FMIC then i say keep the scoop....
my friend told me to block it with carboard or aluminum plates to eliminate the sound..... i have the scoop as it is right now when using my FMIC.....
but that noise (if u do hear it) can get to u at times....
i would like to know how to vent the air as well.... better than having a open slot to collect dirt and all that other crap on my engine right now....

I'm not bragging about this, it was probably on the negligent side but the motor was "disposable" at that time. As for the longevity of the engine, it stills runs flawlessly, now hitting 15 psi with the proper FMIC.
Its interesting what these engines can really take...
