hey guys just a quick one, why is it everytime i meantion i want to put a fmic on my ae92 gze someone will say "why? its not a turbo"
does it matter if its superchared or turboed? i just want a fmic cause im not a fan of bonnet scoops unless they come factory standard on a particular car
That's probably their response because they have no idea
When my car was supercharged it ran a FMIC, the only tip with ZE's and front mounts is to keep your pipework short and neat (2 - 2.5 inches diameter) and don't go too big on the intercooler. The 4AGZE has the throttle body pre-supercharger and if you make a long and volumous path between the throttle and head then expect a very delayed throttle response.
Superchargers heat the air just as a turbo does (compress air and it increases in temp) so a good method of cooling it can give slight gains in performance amongst other things.
EDIT: running the top mount without any vent will give you an interwarmer, so the front mount is a good idea in this case.
Oh yeah.......turbo it Just kidding, if you like SC keep then keep it.
lol , thanks for that info dude. im gonna start ringing up some places tommorow.
i wouldenet mind whacking a turbo on it, but i just bought it and its my daily driver, so i want to keep it reliable and on the road as much as possible
