Would I need a retune after getting a front mount with upper and lower piping??
No, right?

 

I just asked AL(dynoflash)the same question,his answer;no.

 

Yes i got one fmic with lower ic/pipe and when i dynoed the car then got it tuned i picked up over 8hp and 10tq. But its only worth it if you have other mods along with it over all after the tune i picked up over 40tq and the hp is the same because piston # is going bad so we stoped the tuneing there. but the car should still have alot of power to still be seen.

 

sweet thanks guys!!

 

For what it's worth, I was told yes on the need to re-tune for the FMIC by the same tuner saying it could really change the AFRs...

 

What tuner?? If al sais no its usually no

 

As long as you adjust the boost to the same spot as you were tuned there should be no difference. An IC is purely a consistency mod. Im in a similar situation, the only possible change may be in the spool up range.

 

Im not even gonna touch my boost then. Ill keep it where it is now and just bolt the thing up.Right?

 

The new I/C may have more or less pressure drop then your current i/c (likely less, stock is around 2 psi). Also, the freer flowing lower pipes may cause the boost to change slightly. Just correct the boost level to what ever you were tuned for if it changes with the swap.

 

so for instance if my boost is set to 21 right now and when i put the intercooler on it only hits 20 do i set my boost to 22 to compensate?

 

After the installation just adjust the boost until it reaches 21psi on teh gauge as it does now. (should only be a minor adjsutment up or down, likely down)

EDIT** Do you come to the loew's meets on wednesday nights? I think i remember seeing your plate.

 

no lol thats my boy najeeb hes got the plate IDRINKV8 but i have come out there a few time with my RR with blacked out headlights. Im usually up at spring valley though.

 

Aftermarket lower IC arm is a MUST if you want better spool =). No tune is necessary, unless you have more mods

 

lol im not that retarded I know alot about all this quick spool crap but ive never messed with intercoolers though. Thanks for th ehelp guys.
