You guys are so funny!!

It's 110 to 120 degrees here in daytime.. soon in a few months time, it will hit 130deg and work will not be allowed on construction sites between the hours of 12 and 3pm.. Workers fall like leaves, poor guys..

80deg is a winter day for us here!! Actually, in mid winter, it wont come down lower than 65deg! It's freezing for us here at these temperatures!

Go figure!

Wael

All cars are like that, not just evo.
My old nissan 300zx Twinturbo is worst, the engine in that is so crowd.
I suppose those wrx and sti are worst than our evo since their engine is more crowd than our's.

You're not kidding. How they shoehorned that engine in there is an engineering feat. I'd hate to have to work on one of those.

Let just say if you want to upgrade the turbos, you have to take out the motor.

I wonder if refrigerating the intercooler (via the AC) would yield any net power? (kind of off the wall)

So I guess I'm not the only one to think of that. Although I think it would be a little more complicated. If I had the freaking money I would put together a nice little kit for everyone. It would only be worth it if you could effectively drop the intake temps near freazing though.

Spray the intercooler with cold water, cold water + air = cold air
its healthy for your car.
