Whats More Efficient...tmic or fmic
Which is the better working choice between a front mount intercooler or top mount intercooler?
|
tmic if your running stock turbo, fmic otherwise bth the jdm s5 is the most eficient of all stcok tmic's
|
I read tmic is better bc its shorter piping so less lag
|
Ya but you can only run so much intercooler on top of the engine.
You can put a massive intercooler out front or run a Vmount that would be more efficient than the top mount..Also with the Different turbos out there Lag is not really a problem. |
Yea I mean vmount
|
I too am looking to do a V-Mount. What is a good V-mount kit? Has anyone done the Greddy one? The new HKS one looks massive. But the prices are a bit high on those kits. I figured that the V-mounts are good for cars that are in hot areas like Texas.
|
Rotary-works.com has a good one
|
I'd go fmic and take the better cooling than the top mount that's sitting right on top of the engine.
|
again alll these intercoolers are good for diff setup
smic is good for daily and minor tracking here and there v mount.. serious track stuff fmic.. if u drag ur car and want to push big numbers |
O aiight, then vmic should be more than good for street/track
|
This thread is really elementary/misinformed. This is all also covered extensively elsewhere.
Bottom line: V-mount if engineered properly is the most effective solution. the problem is this involves a significant amount of engineering/ducting/routing to get the air flow to the radiator and intercooler correct. FMIC: simple and effective. Cons: decreased effectiveness of radiator and longer tubing TMIC: crap. Heatsoak FTL. Stock piping is inefficient. |
Well I don't know if you have the same experience using the search here, i get threads that gave my topics words a good one time & don't really have what I look for so I jus ask my own questions...good info

water to air, given you properly size your heat exchanger.

I promise you the guide lines I laid out are GENERALLY spot on. |
would a vented hood on a stock TMIC be beneficial?

TMIC + water/meth injection or no intercooler + lots of water/meth injection are options too.
