A real-world comparo: AIT and Water temps, SMIC vs FMIC
This past holiday weekend a bud and I went out to tear through some PA highways and twisty roads.
His Setup:
Stock front bumper, center portion opened up by a body shop to allow more of his Greddy 2 row FMIC core to receive airflow. Fluidyne rad, BNR old 3s run sequentially, PFC
My Setup:
99 front, p/s and a/c removed, ASP large SMIC, Fluidyne Rad, BNR new 3s run parallel, PFC
Outside temps were pretty cold, around 40 deg or so.
After some highway pulls, I was holding steady at 19 deg AIT, 81 deg water temps, he was at 22 deg AIT, 83 deg water temps. These were measured after a few pulls to around 100, nothing too crazy, and cruising at 80 mph on the highway.
Just thought it was an interesting data point, esp given the diff setups. Next time we will beat on the cars more and see what happens

I assume both AIT's are in the stock location?
