ASA S/C w/ different intercooler?

[hamann330ci]

Is it possible to run the ASA s/c kit w/ a different intercooler like the one on AA kit? :dunno: The one on the ASA kit looks too small.

hmm...Get the SKII that comes with a bigger intercooler...:dunno:

It's not always that size matters. You have to look at the density of the turbulators. If ASA designs the intercooler for their kit, I would go with that.

i posted something like that. they said yea. cuz it's just a normal air-to-air I/C. when i save up enough cash i'll by the ASA kit and shove that thing in to my Xi and throw in a huge spearco I/C core. well not huge but big enough to fit.

Larger FMIC option will be available soon.

can't wait to see :popcorn:

I'd love a huge FMIC like the Blitz, Greddy or Spearco one. :thumbup:

Doesnt the FMIC already decrease throttle response? Wouldnt a larger one decrease the responsiveness?

[Mr Paddle.Shift]

To a certain extent. There has got to be an upper bound size for installing a FMIC that is larger than needed, given that you're keeping the variables of the rest of the FI system as-is. But it also boils down to how well designed the intercooler is. Aerodynamic drag, or flow loss, can cause a drop in pressure when air goes through an intercooler that is not well-designed for an intended system.

Which is why I suggested earlier that since ASA includes the intercooler that they have designed/optimized for their system, stick with that. Unless of course, you're intending to increase the boost, using a larger compressor etc.
