No Intercooler
 

Ok, I'm right in the middle of a budget build on my Del Sol but I've hit a little road block. Long story short I need to know if I will be alright running my setup without an intercooler. The car will be pushing 7-10 psi. I'm planning on adding an intercooler soon but was hoping my setup would be fine without an intercooler for awhile. Where the turbo is placed it seems like it will get a good amount of air to cool it down.

Setup:
Stock D16Z6
DSM T25 Turbo
Hf Manifold
DSM Injectors
Walbro Fuel Pump
Turbo XS RFL bov

Get a ------- $10 junkyard side mount you ----.

7-10psi.

Twatcicle.

Re: No Intercooler
 

its not about the air going into it it is about the air coming out of it. when the air gets compressed it heats up cuasing detonation....try it and let us know what happens

Re: No Intercooler
 

Are you serious.

What the ---- are you blathering about? No ---- the air gets hot when it gets compressed, that's why I told him to get a SMIC.

It's not like it's magically not going to work, it's just going to be running on the ragged edge, for no reason mind you, just because this fucker is too cheap for a junkyard IC.

i wasnt refferring to what you said i was letting the dude know the point of an intercooler since he obviously does not know(or else he would not ask about not running one) and i said let us know beucase he wants to boost 10psi on a stock z6(probably with high milage) in the middle of summer with no intercooler. and he was talking about the turbo getting air to cool it down thats why i informed him that it doent matter about the inlet temp

Re: No Intercooler
 

I have an SRT-4 FMIC which we haven't been able to fit without major modification. It's not about being too ------- cheap its about getting my car on the road to get to work so I can make money and in turn buy another intercooler. I'm sorry I don't have money growing out of my ass.

Re: No Intercooler
 

do what you wanna do man.it's gonna work without one,no doubt.get atleast a sidemount when you can.but for now FMP(front mount pipe) that bitch.

Re: No Intercooler
 

too bad you can't buy an intercooler with penises. LOOOLLL.

anyways. yeah - it'll work. You'll have to retard ignition timing, run especially colder plugs and run rich for safety...or just man up and put an intercooler on the thing and not have to worry about blowing ---- up half as much.

Re: No Intercooler
 

Then why the ---- did you quote waffles, douche?

Re: No Intercooler
 

If you just gotta get to work, drive it with no intercooler. Just drive it easy, don't boost hard. In other words, no fast and the furious.

Re: No Intercooler
 

Joe ran a 12.2 with out one, at 12 psi :6

Re: No Intercooler
 

Yeah I'm only planning on driving when I need to and I'll be trying to stay out of boost as much as possible. It should only be a few days without the intercooler.

Re: No Intercooler
 

Why not just run it N/A till you get a ------- intercooler?

No ricepipe you could throw on it till then?

Re: No Intercooler
 

lower boost to 5 psi or rock a front mounted interpipe (exhaust tubing)

Re: No Intercooler
 

He could be a badass and go to autozone and get a bunch of brakeline, make his own nig nog intercooler.

I want to see a 5psi duct tape and brake line intercooler.

Re: No Intercooler
 

Nah, after calling and looking through every local junkyard I found a small top mount.

Re: No Intercooler
 

Its gonna suck having to re-route pipes to hook up a different IC just because you can't wait a couple of days. Just take the WG spring out and drive it and do it right the first time.

Re: No Intercooler
 

It will cost more than buying a real one lol

Re: No Intercooler
 

Re: No Intercooler
 

i spose a small top mount is better than nothing

Re: No Intercooler
 

Yeah, the only intercoolers available local were that and a WRX intercooler that a junkyard wanted $200 for (Which would've been a top mount anyways). It was a lot harder to find a junkyard intercooler than I expected, every turbo car around here gets stripped within an hour.

Re: No Intercooler
 

---- the fmic. just use some ------ pool hose from the compressor to the TB and just save up for a side mount.... boost that fucker to 12psi. just peg that bitch rich
