well i hang out with a lot of different people ,chevy guys,honda guys,subie guys ,dodge guys guys ect................well they all ask me y dont i run a front mount intercooler???????? i want to know if any one has tryied to attempt a front mount on a ss/sc..............is it possile .......will it make a power increase........dont tell me about heat ex...i already know about them....i want to know is there any benefit in the fmic or is it just a waste.............i know already that the fmic has a lorger amount of air flow.....which would require tuning of course............

 

FMIC doesn't give you a better air flow..it just cools the air from the turbo compressor (or a centrifugal supercharger) to the T/B.

 

Thanks.............im Trying To Figure This Thing Out.......

 

you can always go turbo and get one

 

No,im Refering To The Ss/sc..........................................like The Jackson Racing Superchargers........vortec.................how Those Super Chargers Use Fmic...........can We Use Those 2

 

I will have to look up Jackson as I'm not familiar with them but Vortech is a Centi Supercharger ..imagine it as a belt driven turbo ..the compressor side has pipes to the intercooler and then pipes to the T/B.. our S/C is a roots blower and is mounted directly to the intake manifold.Stick with an upgraded H/E.

 

Waste! Your FMIC would be BEFORE the supercharger which wouldnt give you any cooling effect. Remember in a turbo system the FMIC is AFTER the turbo, which means the air that goes through it is already compressed and hot. The FMIC helps there to cool the compressed air. On a supercharger you have no compressed air until you hit the intake basically.

 

Not on all superchargers :}

 

This dude is talking about his SSSC.

 

^..I know...

 

thank u both for the info...................

 

a front mount intercooler is usually an air-to-air intercooler, ours are liquid-to-air, because of the style of blower we have. correct me if i'm wrong, but yeah, an upgraded h/e would make the biggest impact, u probably know that.

 

can't run an FMIC on a roots blower without some type of crazy configuration

only centrifigal superchargers run an FMIC...you'll want a Cobra Heat Exchanger to mount in your grill area
