For a fairly thorough discussion of pros and cons of different intercoolers for the 3rd gen RX, check out this site: http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/intercoolers.html

 

What about this Apexi Delta Fin core used in their FMIC? I've read this core was superior? Any details?

 

I'm still trying to get over the whole turbo lag thing. Please tell me you guys aren't serious...

 

for what it's worth i know somebody who went from a M2 to a Greddy and he didn't lose any power...

 

What were his motor temps like during a track day???

 

i assume you're asking me...don't know...i asked him what IC i should get and he said he switched and didn't see any power lost...not sure if it was dyno'd or just butt dyno'd. will try to get better answer.

 

ttb,

yep, I was asking you...

From what I've read thus far...it seems we road racers are stuck with SMIC, HMIC, or V-mount.

SMIC seems to be a good solution, and has worked for many FD road racers.

Chuck Huang's HMIC and V-mount concepts are fairly new to the FD scene, at least here in the USA... Sadly I NEED my A/C, so V-mount is out.

The choices left for road racers are either SMIC or HMIC.

Apparently Chuck's HMIC Spearco core flows MUCH more air volume than Kevin's ASP large IC core--935 cubic feet per minute with Chuck's core, and 750 cfm for Kevin's...

There's a thorough discussion of whether the HMIC actually works like an SMIC, or works BETTER than an SMIC when the HMIC is used with a vented hood and HMIC outlet duct...
