3Row FMIC on stock twins
A friend of mine and a member of this forum who is to lazy to ask this question, has a 3row front mount intercooler he wants to install on his stock twin setup. The car has a HKS downpipe, HKS catback , fluidyne rad, but everything else is stock. He wants to make his car have 360fwhp in the near future.
Is the 3row an overkill?
What about turbo lag?
Is the A/F ratio going to change?
What are the advantages and the dissadvantages of this setup.
P.S. Greece is a really hot coutry(California like).

Do the fan mod !!!!
Change your thermostat !
Put Redline water wetter !
Who is your mechanic ?
As for your questions
- As it gets really hot here (as you know) I think the 3 Row is not an overkill for the amount of power you are looking for
- You will need to remap your ECU as to get this poweras you will need to increase boost, and hence all that goew with this
- 3 row will mean your Fluidyne will need to be relocated and hence fans work all the time...if these go...

I think it would be a little overkill, but if you plan on going single or something in the near future then I say it wouldn't be bad. I'd be more concerned about fitiment issues. Does the Fluidyne rad effect how a 3-row would fit in?

Riccardo the fan mod and all the other reliability mods have been done. An Apexi Power FC with Commander and Datalogit and Apexi boost controller are going to be fitted.
93BlackFD you mean boost pressure drop? How big was yours?
The car is now running a 0.8bar(11.8psi) max boost pressure.
As for the rad there will be no fitting issues, cause the IC is going to be custom made, so we can make our own piping. Also the battery is relocated behind passenger seat, there is no air pump and no AC.
IC core dimensions are 40cmx26cmx10cm (15,7inx10.2inx3.9in).
