The American TPU Clubhouse.

what brand FMIC is that?

 

[1Kurgan1]

I actually decided it wasn't close enough to the crash bar and used nylon string to tie it closer together (obviously just to test fit) and it still didn't fit. It sucked working in the 95+ HEAT and not getting anything done. At least I got gas for $3.23 a gallon.

It's not a turbo diesle, but a turbo 2.0l it's an Audi a4

What I mean is do something like this to create clearance.

Just chop the bottom of your crash bar off, trim an inch or 2 up, then weld that bottom strip back up in that notch and bolt the ic to it. So it will raise your IC up as much as you trim up.

It's a treadstone TR6

It's rated around 400hp and i'm pushing about 250 but the stock smic just aren't cutting it.

Well this guy on Audizine was able to get it to fit properly without cutting anything and I don't thin it's height, I think it's a thickness issue.

Thickness shouldn't matter unless it's contacting your bumper cover (I would just trim the cover then). All it looks like the guy did to fit it was flip it upside down from the way you got it. It does look very thick and not tall, I was going to ask if it was a bit small, but it's a thick rad to make up for the height. But it looks like you shouldn't have any issues retaining your bumper support, sadly when I tear off my Supercharged setup and put on my Turbo kit I think I will have to ditch my support for my FMIC

Heat index is usually 8-10. It's 95 it'll feel like 105.

I was outside trying to mount my front mount intercooler for 3 hours and my shirt was soaked in sweat. Gross and I know y'all didn't need to know that. Texas heat sucks balls. Big hairy fucking monkey balls.

That's everyday at work for me.

Glad the water fountain doesn't run dry.

 

[freaksavior]

Well I wasn't complaining, I enjoyed the out doors a bit.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

ill gladly complain i hate working outside in this heat, shearing planting xmass trees running logs through the wood chipper etc. this heat sucks especially when you come home to a house thats 80-90'f

 

[remixedcat]

yeah this heat sucks balls.

I can shear a perfect cone in no time

I would have never thought anyone around here would even know about that shit! Do you Easterners use corn starch? Saves your armpit, big time. Spent summers between Frosh year of high school through Soph year of college working the trees, most kids my age did that for a summer job. We used to stick cones on the end of our knives and whip them at each other, and make arrows out of the long new growth on tops. Now there isn't a tree farm left around, but a bunch of 20 year mongoloid Scotch Pines in old fields.

If I worked in it every day, yes i'd complain, but I don't.


What do y'all think about the guy who banned kids that are 6 and under? I think he has every right to do it.

Im thinking of a Mishimoto for my turbo project.

Here is my snail!

 

[1Kurgan1]

That seems like a bit of overkill for such a small turbo.

 

[brandonwh64]

Yea but it leaves room from a turbo upgrade. The small 12B is good for 15PSI but later on I may upgrade to a 16B/20G

For right now tho on stock internals it may only be able to handle 5-7psi

 

[freaksavior]

If your intercooler is to big, the turbo is going to suffer and not create the peak power. So either
A) get a bigger turbo
B) get a smaller core.

Big core/small turbo is just as bad as small core/big turbo

I have thought about just using a stock SMIC that came with the GST/GSX models until I do pickup a bigger turbo. Those ive herd are good until almost 300HP then they get heat soaked

So this is now the TPU Kar Klubhouse?

 

[brandonwh64]

Its a club house to talk everything american, CARS ARE AMERICAN!

 

[DaedalusHelios]

No its the Klassy Kar Klubhouse and don't abbreviate that to mislead people!

 

[freaksavior]

So change the subject away from cars then. How about Pie? Good ol' American apple fucking pie. Damn do I love some good pie.

The stock smic are probably going to be fine. The ones on my car are rated basically for 200hp.

He indeed does have every right to do it, and I'm glad he did. I think the only improvement he could make on that idea is to charge people deemed too loud a 50% surcharge on their bill simply for everyone else having to put up with them. No doubt he'll be sued over this though, but I hope he wins every case against him.

Then I have one up on you since I have a basement apartment so once it is cool, it isn't too hard to keep that way.

Do feel for you man. Working in the heat is one thing. Coming home to a place that's just slightly below what it is outside is killer.

I do agree, but I would say V8's are American. And I though you should go with the GS-T or GSX stock FMIC's for now. Will be dirt cheap, so if you want that nice one, but it and save it and use the factory ones till you have a built motor and the turbo to put the big FMIC to use.

Yea your right, THIS GUY has one for 15$!!
