very nice what are you getting for power???

 

Honestly, Looks nice as can be but that is pointless on a supercharger. You actually lose horsepower with an Intercooler on a supercharger

But mad props though cuz it looks nice

 

Like he said...

What kind of core is it anyway?

 

made by bell intercoolers.

 

ic.

Why'd you decide to do a FMIC w/ the supercharger?

 

Might help with properly tuned, maybe????

 

I highly doubt it will even help if you get it tuned. The ONLY way I can see it being beneficial to a supercharged tC is if you have supercharger cams form rippmods.com and like a custom 12psi pulley from nst. Even then I dont know if it would be good

 

Only one way to find, hopefully eminence, can make it work, I'm really curious myself.

 

I have plans for this setup. I'm currently running the 9.5psi pulley and im loosing 2psi through the i/c. Even though im sacrificing the 2psi im creating much denser air. There is a 50 degrees difference on the inlet to the outlet pipes. I also have a 12psi pulley just havent installed it yet until i get the aem fic. Just from putting on the i/c i can already feel a dramatic difference while driving. I'll keep you guys posted. Another thing is to be unique and not go with the water and meth injection. im not hating on it but its just a different route =)

 

Cool man, keep us updated, thanks.

 

Watching this!

 

That's pretty cool, but with the water/meth injection wouldn't you be adding power and cooler air unlike the I/C where you are losing power until you raise your boost levels?

 

yeah water and meth serve the same purpose as an intercooler setup cept for the lost in boost like you said. both have their pros and cons.

 

you should add both... just for the hell of it!

 

hmmm watching

 

well there are many other s/c kits for other cars that run a fmic.....interested to see the overall effect of this one the tC....i know for my z, the vortech s/c has a fmic that is required on the kit.....

 

all i can say from just having the trd reflash and the 9.5 psi pulley my car feels like its flying in the freeway. i just partial throttle it and the engine feels effortless yet fast. I like it haha.
