Re: New Dyno Numbers
kaz,
i dont know too much about z's but i am thinking of getting one as a project... wouldnt upgraded side mount's be more efficient than what he's running now? Could meth injection help him run cooler?

The Z has bad air flow issues to begin with... adding the FMIC to the equation just made things all the worse. =( The engine bay is a little too cramped on the Z32s. Heat has no where to go... You can turn a Z off and let it sit for HOURS, and come back and the block will still be warm. I've driven my car to work in the morning on a normal day (say 60 F outside) and when I get back in for lunch 4-5 hours later, and start it, the coolant is still rather warm inside the block. =(

Re: New Dyno Numbers
Well, you can look at it a few ways...
Stock SMIC & Stock Radiator:
- Normal Temps at Normal Boost levels
FMIC & Stock Radiator:
- Cooler Intake Charge, Hotter Coolant
SMIC & Stock Radiator:
- Cooler Intake Charge, Normal Coolant Temps
FMIC & Upgraded Radiator:
- Cooler Intake Charge, Normal to Slightly Higher Coolant Temps
(Upgraded Radiator helps to attempt to negate the FMIC effects on temps)
SMIC & Upgraded Radiator:
- Cooler Intake Charge, Cooler Coolant Temps
As Bobby said, he wanted the Bling factor... I told him before he bought the FMIC is wasn't the greatest idea... but that's what he wanted, so that was what he got... lol.
