smallest IC feasible for a gt-35/40
hey every1,
Im doing some long range planning right now for my GT35/40 conversion. And originally i was going to go with a v-mount for cooling, but i recently decided to use a water injection system, so im gonna stick with a SMIC and use radiator ducting to keep my water temps down, since the w.i. renders the IC as a backup. My question is what is the smallest SMIC that i can use that will support the 35/40's flow? I'm looking for throttle response out of this smaller IC as well, so plmk.
thanks,
-Zach

I will at some point be running without an IC, using just my water injection.

the IC is rendered completely useless when the WI is active, because the WI cools the intake air far better than any IC on the market....but if i should run out of water or the pump should fail, the IC keeps my car from detonating. My car will be tuned to run perfectly with the IC, but the WI gives me that NICE safety cushion.

Team...you know if you run out of water your an idiot!!! Unless of course your water tank breaks...that happen to me last week!!! Make sure you have a sturdy container and some cushion under and around it and have it strapped in real good. I got me a 2 gallon container...

yeah i know i wouldnt deserve to even own a FD if i let the water tank run out, im just throwing it out as one of the possibilities. I also want to keep my donut spare in there, so is there a way to mount a tank in the storage bin? I think that space would be good for a 1.5gal tank.

I left my spare at the track last fall and I figure I have not needed my spare since 1987 in my VW, I'll just call AAA.
