I would like to hear from the shops, sponsors, vendors, and people with real world experience with this subject. I think there is a lot of great info out there, we just need to condense it down into something real. Several of you have plenty of experience with this already, so list up your choices based on what you would recommend. Base your recommendations on HP goals, price, flow specs, etc. Even if you are repeating what somebody else has said already, put in your $.02. This way we will see a real pattern of real data develope.
I'm not looking for sales sloggans, hype, magazine test data or people trying to push a certain product because it's what they sell. I also don't want to hear from Bobby's sister's boyfriend's 3 year old niece who knows somebody that installed "Joe-blows" FMIC and make 2500 awdawhp.
I would like to put together an intercooler guide that could be used in the FAQ's section of MitsuStyle to help the members make wise choices when looking into FMIC's.
Give as many specs about the FMIC as possible; 1g/2g/evo/3s, core type, core dimensions, cfm capability, pressure drop noted at what boost level and rpm, heat soaking properties, inlet vs. outlet temps, max power made at what boost level, etc. Even if you don't have all of the answers, say what you know (not what you think). Keep the discussion about the core, not the piping kit, mounting, etc.
Once enough data is gathered we should be able to put together some type of guide based on HP goals, boost levels, efficiency, price, etc.
If you think this is a waste of time, you can say so. But I think this would be something worth while for the FAQ section or just as a guide/sticky.
