mmm looks good, what kind of psi are you wanting to put down on the b18c1? what kind of numbers you looking for?

 

[d16_turbo]

b18c1 block and a b16a2 head. I am shooting for 400whp. The motor is bone stock besides ITR cams.

Wow, is that realistic? I sure dont know. Anyways, what kind of psi do you want to run?

 

[d16_turbo]

its not reliable but if it blows it will just get built...........im not sure about psi just whatever will get me to 400hp i would guess around 18 psi on a 60-1

inside mount intercooler.......................?

 

[bizoneoeh]

Yeah, pardon my ignorance but what's a imic and why is there piping coming out of the firewall?




I've never heard of a "inside mount intercooler"

 

[DetainedCivic]

yea looks kind of tardish, I mean a intercooler is suppose to cool the charge air, so how is the intercooler going to cool from inside the car. Even if its a water cool intercooler it still defeats the purpose over having the intercooler in fresh air.

 

[bizoneoeh]

Ok, I see. The intercooler is inside the car but still.........





I googled "inside mount intercooler" and found nothing

A water to air doesnt need to get fresh air

the only thing i can see him doing is like seting up the blowers inside the car to blow cold air if hes running A/C. im not too sure but i suppose it could work? but then again you are going to have to run a turbo manifold and s**t that will be compatible with that.

nope.. a water to air intercooler needs zero air.. thats why they are water. ever heard of water injection? this is it. U have a tank u put ice and water in and a pump that moves the cold ass water threw the intercooler.. alot of drag cars have them cause of space and they dont want a huge hole in the front cause of aerodynamics. They work amazing till the water gets warm.. i hope he doesnt plan on making the a dd cause it will fail horribly.. and i dont know why the f**k he mounted in inside the car?

google air to water intercooler.. there is no such thing as a imic lol..

 

[d16_turbo]

i know that there is no such thing as an imic i just said that because its inside the car. and no the car doesnt have ac or heat. i mounted it inside the car because there was really no place to put it in the engine compartment. by the way i have seen alot of cars with the intercooler inside the car......
