should have waited...

for us that bought the tuner kit early, $3195 + $1195 = $4390 =(

Anyway, are those curves with the CARB tune?

What's the weight of the itercooler system?

Do you have to pull the whole intake manifold and blower or can you just pull the blower to install the intercooler?

Pretty sure they said somewhere that it's just the blower that has to come off.

The box with all the intercooler contents for shipment is at most 20lbs, which means it will be less than that.

Install instructions require you to remove the entire thing, but a motivated individual could likely do it without removing.

How similar or different is this IC compared to the one being offered by FA20Club?

Not necessarily, it doesn't ship with the fluid.

I was wondering the same thing. after looking at the photos, it appears the same intercooler core is used (at least, they have the same numbering cast into the top of them.)

Based on a loose calculation of oil density, each liter of oil weighs roughly 2lbs.

FA20Club's site says:

Upgraded reservoir tank with ice capacity
40% more coolingcapacity than standard Innovate Intercooler kit
Larger front mounted heat exchanger.

Dear Calum,

There's some 'strange shit' going on with all the intercooler jive. Sprintex released their charge cooler kit with a Bosch 2.5 bar MAP sensor. This MAP sensor also had an integrated air temperature sensor. This sensor has the same linearisation curve as the temp sensor in the OE MAF sensor (Unicorn Tested (tm)). For some reason Sprintex didn't want to, or be smart enough, to do a one-wire change to enable usage of this on-a-plate feature. Unicorn spec does.

Rumour on the rainbow has it that Sprintex have stopped supplying the 2.5 bar MAP sensor and are recommending use of the OE sensor. This may or may not be due to strategy issues in the ECU.

Who knows what Innovate are doing.

Yours knowingly,
Unicorn
