Hi everyone,

Just working out what intercooling I should go with on my FC running the TA45, saw this:

Check out this car! Cool turbo placement

with your huge turbo, a tiny top mount just isnt going to cope.

I saw this one, my TMIC is good for about half the power it will be making, I believe its already been nabbed when I do sell it lol

This bumper is mildly cut, but nothing massive

I don\'t really want to cut the bumper though, will be keeping everything as stock

I have a plan though

just wanted to see what FMICs are like before getting parts for the system I am thinking of

There is A LOT to cut and move to be able to fit a FMIC, I do have a Radtec V mount kit, but im not sure if im going to fit it.

Your going to want a big intercooler with your power, so if you don\'t want to cut the bumper (obviously you don\'t as that top pic looks aweful) get a large vmount for stealth IMO.

if i were you i would go with the v mount, what sort of power are you going for ?

Grant Monkhouse · October 30, 2011, 10:11:52 PM

hes going for 1.2 bar of boost with WI and hoping for 600HP i think. his turbo is quite large though

m1tch · October 30, 2011, 10:23:03 PM

I will also have a big red button attached to my AVC-R scramble boost function upping to 1.4bar maybe, although the clutch is only rated to 700bhp, so might keep the boost down a bit, im only running FD Efini rims

It will make whatever power it does at 1.2 bar, not really got much idea if im honest lol I don\'t have a target figure in mind.

Large is a relative term :rollin

flatout · October 30, 2011, 10:54:15 PM

wow thats big power your going for, i would go for the v mount, after years of thinking about this myself and trying to work out the best way to go, i have gone with the v mount set up,fmi would slow air down to the oil cooler and rad, share the air,v mount and do abit of work feeding the air into it, a good bonnet will do that, and its more responseive. now thats just my way of thinking

dthebuk · October 31, 2011, 12:28:30 AM

flatout i believe its going to be a drag car, hence v mount isn\'t really used.

personally mitch i reckon you should do something interesting like bang the intercooler in the boot!
