Jeezzzzzz leave this thread 5 minutes and all hell breaks loose....
I am quite aware what a fmic does I am quite aware adding one will create more lag and ideally a decent sized turbo and adequate fueling would be needed to run great power. If anyone has actually bothered to read my thread they will see what I am doing. I am not looking for massive figures I'm not trying to beat any one or be the best. The whole aim of what I am doing is an complete oem setup and manageable reliable power. Sure I could put a massive front mount up front and be all shouty but that's not my thing. Sure I could put a bigger turbo on but after seeing the trouble Padge is having I wouldn't want to.
The whole point I'm doing the fmic is to see for myself the differences it does hence adding the temp read out in the car. So far I have learnt the cooler will run on a good thrash at around 35-45 or more and while deaccelerating will cool efficiently down to 30 eventually after tootling around will drop to 20c. With the fmic I would expect this to be different obviously. I'd be pleased seeing 140 with a front mount. Yes could quite easily do that on a top mount but where's the enjoyment in that. I like to tinker with my cars and so I do what I please. If after a while I fancy more power I can always upgrade.
Matt the cooler Danny had the same on his and said there seemed some improve ment as mentioned in the thread the cooler is half the size but double the thickness in effect similar size. As far as I see it fits perfectly in the grille and will have maximum surface area exposed to cold air unlike some coolers iv seen where more than half is hidden behind bumpers. Lag I'd imagine may not be bad as you are all thinking the xantia setup the internal diameter isn't as big as what most people are running 2.5 inches. The widest part is around 58mm soviet won't have as much area to fill so to speak.
Dyno day it pulled 120 on a Lucas pump with overfilling top end. This was down to the previous owner not me. All I had done is turned the turbo up to 20psi to try to match. The main big reason iv changed to Bosch is to run veg and to be able to easily control the fueling rather than having to mess around draining derv from the Lucas etc etc as people saw on the rr my car smoked like a bitch on the Lucas.
Feeeeewwwwwww not having ago or anything just clearing up a few things that have already been said previously in the thread.
