[NickJ27]

yes.

what does an intercooler do? I need a real answer cuz I keep getting different answers. does it cool the intake so you can fit more gasses in?

[NickJ27]

It cools the intake charge. The intake charge is too hot for the motor after coming out of the turbocharger.

Notice how everything he says is best is based in Australia....

@trailerfitter usually on dynos they have massive fans set up infront of the cooler to imitate the road winds

[RXHardstyle]

@NickJ27 its not that its too hot. its just not dense enough. you can run turbos without an intercooler you just can't run high boost thats all

[katanamast279]

Do you need to get a tune after you install a new intercooler?

[kayll007]

okay cool.here in nz people seem to love keeping the top mounts for better response.less power but better response on there setup.im currently running 19psi on my sti motor.running a walbro pump and no signs or leaning out or knock issues.im still running the sti top mount with no faults yet.

@kayll007 The factory top mounts were put in place for cost effectiveness and simplicity, as well as to limit the amount of material in front of the factory radiator. Mechanically speaking, no, the top mount isn't best. An upgrade to a frount-mounted-intercooler (FMIC) has very few downsides. With an FMIC you can run a little bit more boost, and won't have and noticeable lag, and the FMIC will do a better job than the stock TMIC

hey im from new zealand.just a quick question how do the top mounts work on the gc8?are the a good upgrade.i dont really understand the point of a top mount.heat rises?the top mount is the highest point of the engine bay.meaning if you sit in traffic the heat will just go straight into the top mount.is a frnt mount better to use?

@carig121 I totally agree with that like using amoniac to cool down the turbo IDK if this is the right term in english but it would be as simple as installing an intercooler in the car. Some rails for the liquid amoniac and a tank for it And thats it!!!
