intercooler question
do you need an upgraded computer in order to run a car with, lets say a m2 intercooler
i dont have a new cpu but am running a intake, exhaust without any problems.:smoker: |
i've been wondering this too. an intercooler would cool the air down making it more dense which would require more fuel. without an ECU to enrich the mixture you'd run lean. how much? i don't know. certainly don't turn the boost up without a computer. for me i'm already running rich so i'm wondering if its enough to add an IC without immediate tuning.

Rule of thumb: 3 mods = ecu upgrade
|
adding the ecu is more cost effective than adding a new engine. Always better to play the safe side...
|
actually i dont have the mods..
I really dont have those mods....just dreamin again....ahhhhh!
I was curious and asked the question!!! sorry....:D |
y cars preety much stock...
my car is actually stock exept for street port done before by previous owner...
not for long everyone better watch out....i will soon be the baddest thing on the streets of colorado springs!!:dragster: :boink: |
Always good to dream Alex !!!! But I would get a air/fuel mix gauge first so then you know how you are running

Most aftermarket intercoolers have a lower pressure drop though, so the intercooler does a make a difference in overall flow rates.
