Cheap Fmic's

I used a nice and big IC for the T25! Man that was sweet! But I think it I should have gone bigger.

With a good intercooler you should get some pressure drop no matter what. Cooler air is denser. From the Ideal gas law, in order for the same volume of air to enter an intercooler and come out the other side cooler, it has to lose some pressure.

The Buschur, IRC, ExtremePSI, and VPE ones are not like that.  They use the perpendicular inlet/outlets, but the endtanks are not quite like those things.
REALLY?

Here's buschur street kit:

Indy Race Cores street core can be seen on www.turbotrix.com

RnR's core can be seen on www.rnrracing.com

Slowboys can be seen on page 1

Look at the placement of the inlet/outlets on the SlowBoy endtanks and the weird perfect triangle shape of the endtanks. That's what I am talking about,

The 1G core from Kinetic Motorsport looks very similar to Buschur's-

Look at the pipes as Ecoli mentioned... if they are near the edge its much better but slow boys are like in the middle of the triangel shaped endtanks...

Did someone delete my saddam post?

[Halon]

the endtanks are not perfect triangle shaped. ya the inlets and outlets are a little lower, i see what ur talkin about, but they have to be lower because the core is taller than most of the other "street" cores at 12" tall vs. like 8-10" on other street cores, and the bottom already sits right at the bottom of the bumper, here's another pic of it btw...

but anyway, who cares, im still saying that AHP's kit does not appeal to me whatsoever.

[Kracka]

Cool, so don't buy it.

This is a pretty pointless debate as all the IC's in question are pretty much identically the same, in the long run it just comes down to the piping. IMO AHP's piping is exceptionally long and a little overdone.

Now on the other hand the comment about a 16x8 core being suitable for up to 600hp, riight. 16x8 core may be suitable for a 14b/16g other than that primary as usless as the SMIC. I'd probably rather have a supra SMIC than a 16x8 FMIC. I'd say you can never really have to big of a FMIC, the bigger the better... Now on the other hand not necessary or feasable for a 14b/16g, but who wants to run one of those pee shooters anyway.

Maybe im completly wrong on this whole concept and thats why we have such slow cars, hehe. I think for next year i got a pure genius concept of running a smaller FMIC and larger injectors, that should be the key to 10's!!!!
