i will be looking to buy an IC but just want to make sure i have a right one, basically i want to stay with my stock twins and squeeze as much power i can out of it, not gonna prepare it for track or whatever, i enjoy streets more :](maybe someday i will take it to santa pod to test it :]) the thing is im not sure what IC would be the best for me - i know everyone is gonna say V-mount but this is more like a fashionable thing at the mo(well im not sure just IMHO people dont even know if they need them - jus want them because they the latest thing..) i really like FMIC but someone told me i wont need it for what i use my car, that they r for drag racing..what else then? SMIC? it looks like just a standard IC would it make any difference?? and if not then what? V- mount? but explain why...

cheers

Knightsports do a great twin core intercooler that sits in the Stock position. It using a U style configeration which solves the issue of better cooling with less pressure drops over a front mount. Ideally suited for a fast road car. I have more info back at the office so i get some more details up for you on monday.

The ducting doesnt look big enough to cover the intercooler core.

I have spoken to Knightsports now. They have just run out of stock on the Type II and are currently developing the Type III. Unforunatly I don\'t have an on sale date as yet. To give you an idea of costs the type II was £734+ vat. I\'m told the III may be a little more expensive but not much.
 

 
Here is a pic of the type II installed on an FD also shown is their Super Air groove intake system and Auto EXE front upper brace.

Looks very much like the XSPower ones you see cheap on eBay a lot (for a good reason, I understand). Pettit have a very good reputation in Yank land, been building quick rotaries forever. Only problem is that it leaves you nowhere to put your intakes, battery, etc

Please please don\'t confuse the Knightsports with the XS one. They are worlds apart in both efficiency and design.

As you see with the KS one intakes and battery remain in the stock location ;)

I wasn\'t. I was comparing the design of it with the Pettit Racing one Sickboy posted a link to. No need to shout at me twice about it, I\'ve had a bad day as it is :Giggle. Wanders off to sulk in corner......
