Which intercooler on stock internals?

[BlkZoomZoom]

lol. never said I have stock exhaust. The turbo, intercooler, exhaust manifold, piping, intake, engine were all stock. Everything else had been played with. But yes, you got the jist of it.

Your hp calculator is alittle off from the one I use, I was thinking around 250-270. Oh if you guys don't believe me ask SpicyMchaggis, Protege520003, Ehawley or Pretzellogic. They have all seen the car run at the track, and/or been in it.

Exactly how was everything else played with?

 

[BlkZoomZoom]

I have covered this before. I suggest searching. I have hid very little on what I have done with this car, and always try to give people suggestions whenever possible.

so back on topic guys do you think the turbohoses smic will lose efficiency at 230-250whp?

 

[vindication]

no

 

[geomatics_tech]

I have the turbo hoses smic, and it made a huge difference in my cars performance. A good rule of thumb would be, stock boost or low boost for a smic, high boost on a fmic. But, any after market intercooler will be far superior than the stock POS.

why'd you sell the perrin just out of curiosity? That seems like its a great intercooler.

I was planning on building the motor and going all out with the car thats why I bought it but now I am not building the motor and keeping the stock turbo possibly so its too big for the goals im looking for which is only 230-250whp

no, but your rods will. Ive got customs smic and turbohoses pipes along with a unichip. my stock potenzas break loose in 3rd at 60mph. have a feeling ill be getting in on Beaus new h-beam rod group buy soon, and maybe a clutch too. pulled 176 whp before the unichip at 7psi. i have yet to dyno with the unichip at 11psi. needless to say, i am happy i saved a few hundred bucks by getting the smic. dont really think my whp would be any higher with an fmic. maybe if i had a bigger turbo.

the turbohoses has a good sized core,and matched with the alluminum piping it will cover 10-12 psi no problem.

I can't say if it will be good for 250 hp,because if you do the motor right,it shouldn't take a lot of boost to get that.
but if you just add boost to a untuned engine it won't fair vary well.

BTW,if you wanted to get a little more out of your turbohoses SMIC you could get some different fans,(spal maybe) that only cover the radiator,and not the intercooler.

damn breaking the tires loose at 60mph in 3rd. gear at maybe 200hp....Thats pretty damn impressive, I can't even do that yet. sorry for the t/j

that's at 60 in 5th, dropping to 3rd and mashing it.

damn that is impressive. With a fmic, intake, boost controller, and 3inch exhaust I couldnt even do that. Well actually I did do it in the rain lol

Yea I was gonna say the same thing... I can't break the tires free in third at all even with 260+whp. Only one I know that can do it is focus, and he said that he has only been able to do it since he put in the Mental Addiction exhaust manny. I believe he was making 300+ before he put in the manifold, and he probably picked up 30 or more from it.

What's up with your tires atticus?(poke)

 

[atticus1398]

when i say "break" i dont mean a "back to the future" scorched earth fire trail. lol. it was also 45 degrees here, boost gauge spiked near 15. kinda scary really. i need to dyno again. when temps dip under 45, potenzas seem like they turn into hard plastic. regardless, im pleased with custom's smic.

Since you live in Florida I would probably go with the FMIC. There is nothing wrong with either. I have the turbohoses SMIC and some of Beau's parts and both do top notch work. I am trying for around 250-280 daily driver on the turbohoses. I am also trying to get 200whp on stock boost before I even raise the boost (cause hell, that's the easy part You can't go wrong with either.

 

[turbo speedy]

i think i have 200whp (peep)

 

[poboxjosh]

Focus had 325 before manifold. and i have no trouble spinning tires in 3rd gear. when running through 1st and second

 

[daedalus]

focus had no problem spinning the tires or the threads straight off the gears in third!

 

[wicked]

yeah,it's eay if you do it through the gears,but not to just break them loose in 3'rd

I had no problem breaking them loose in third when my poteza's were going bald,even easier when my proxes 4 wear on thier way out.

I just had,FMIC,4" intake,3" exhaust,FCD,9 psi.
