This might be strange, but anyone know what kinda performance could come from mounting FMIC with the filter on one end and the other end piped right up and around to the Throttlebody? "No Turbo or Super Charger" just intercooled!

Just curious, I don't think it could really hurt the performance.

Shoot away, I would like to hear alot of your input. Some of you may of seen something like this before that I haven't.

That mod would be completely worthless, here is why.....

The intercooler doesn't really ADD much horsepower on forced induction applications. The intercoolers main purpose is to MAINTAIN horsepower levels by keeping the intake charge down to a decent temperature.

Since you have nothing compressing the air on a normally aspirated car, there is nothing heating up the intake charge so the intercooler would be worthless.

Don't buy it. Wouldn't help.

Wasn't going to, Someone at work brought up the idea and I didn't really have a good answer for him.

Apparently you didn't read what he said later. He was asking for someone else.

Wow, I didn't think there were haters like this on Clubxb, guess that has changed.

I remember seeing something on HorsepowerTV on SpikeTV, where they installed a CAI which had like a mini intercooler, which had a plastic shield over it, to prevent rain entering it.

You could take the plastic shield off however, to get a ram air effect.

Agreed on this one.. I had this idea a while back....had a spare intercooler lying around and actually tried it... it did nothing.. no gains/etc...

Now on the other side of the coin.. i'm about to drop my turbo in and put an n-tercooler cryo system on the FMIC so under WOT it will ice the FMIC down by 20-40degrees F which will result in colder air, more flow, and more HP... But again that's off topic ;P
