Side mount intercooler suggestion

Side mount intercooler suggestion - 15/03/2017 09:52

I would like to know is there any suggestion if I want to retain the side mount intercooler to reach 350-400bhp? In my country the weather is hot and if I install front mount intercooler the temperature will hit 93-95 if stall in traffic. I was planning to install a suction fan to keep it cool on side mount. Any suggestion?

Simple answer is no, a SMIC is not large enough to cool efficiently if your goal is to reach that BHP, you will need a FMIC and extra fans if you're concerned about your ambient temperature, we see 93-95 often during the summer here in the UK and my own cars run standard fans with high BHP without any issues.

Agreed - my Coupe has a ProAlloy front-mount intercooler, with standard fans and a standard radiator

A couple of years ago, I was stuck in a HUGE traffic jam at LeMans in 30 degrees - the radiator fans were on almost permanently for the aircon, but the coolant temperature stayed steady at 90 degrees.

As long as your cooling system is working well, there shouldn't be a problem

An aluminium radiator also could help with heat dissipation. (I saw a few of them for sale at around 200£)

If you do go for an alloy radiator the Direnza one is very good, I have one on mine and it definitely makes a difference.

you can also buy a spray kit for cooling the FMIC
and thereby the radiator
