back to topic when do you feel it is necessary to get upgraded injectors/fuel pump? I'm trying to achieve the mythical 300whp lol. I have a greddy turbo kit if that helps any haha.

The Greddy kit, although it looks pretty, the IC core is tiny.

400 isn't possible on stock injectors that I'm aware of.

you should be able to break into the 300's with most kits on stock injectors, but you won't be able to flow enough fuel for E85. The Greddy IC might also hold you back.

Fiebruz motorsport did 408WHP on stock injectors and fuel pump

You are right about it being pretty haha. That pretty IC has great charge pipe location. Im not exactly the most knowledgeable but can you elaborate about the IC please? Ty

Okie dokie im in the process of tying up some loose ends like deciding on 3in or 2.75 cat back. Also waiting on bov and aem failsafe wideban. I have some buddies with a lift in their driveway( its so awesome haha) that will install it with me. Then i suppose id have to flat bed it to orlando. Im i. St. Aug

When you compress air, it heats up. The IC will then reduce the heat caused by the compression to allow for lower temperatures in the combustion chamber. This will prevent early detonation and reduce knock allowing for more power. The larger the IC core, the better the cooling, and as JC would say... MORE POWAAAAHHH!

Of course if you have a small turbo a massive IC won't do a whole lot. Sizing is everything.

Oh I do understand that Im not aiming for any crazy number but ive heard the same concern that you shared too. I guess plus side is faster spool time. I will be trying to fabricating some proper air damns to deflect the best possible airflow to optomize my tiny IC haha

I remember I commented on someone's post that the greddy ic was pretty tiny and he got offended. I never said there was anything wrong with it since it's a smaller turbo and you wouldn't need a huge core to optimize usage. I do like the kit though, location of the pipes and quality of build. Did you hack up that crash beam, take it off or buy a aftermarket beam?

You know what they say about big IC's big.... Jk jk lol. I prefer the term "notch" lol. I haven't yet but I will. I'm looking at the positives since the long run goal is to actually track it. The small IC will allow possibly 2 oilcoolers upfront to be mounted near the sides of the IC. The biggest complaint I see with these cars tracked is cooling issues so I hope this helps

Yup where most of the snails are located definitely attributes to heat issues. I think the avo may have the best placement of all the kits.

Why hasnt someone beat this guy to a pulp yet

I have seen at least two Greddy kits hit over 300 whp, but that might be nearing the limits of the intercooler.

Except create more pressure drop than needed, and a more sluggish throttle response

I would personally want the smallest IC that flows enough for the turbo/engine and provides a big enough drop in IAT for the driving conditions.
