I am seriously contemplating purchasing the RRM non-i/c kit , but I live in phoenix where summer temps can get up to 120. Would this be a disaster ready to happen with a non-i/c kit? Or are the boost levels that the kit comes at safe enough to weather an arizona summer? Any help would be great. Thanks

Don't overdo it, and you should be safe.

But you'll be safer with the I/C kit, even if you live in Alaska.

 

yeah I want to purchase a non ic kit too, but here in Indiana the temp is so unpredictable. Forcing warm air into my engine scares me for some crazy reason. haha. Could someone enlighten me of the dangers of non ic? Eventually i'll go with an intercooler, but for now i can only afford the non ic.

 

^--exactly my story. I don't want to spend the 4100 for the ic kit, I just want the non-ic so I can have a little extra power when I want it. I live in MI, which is close to indiana.. so I am also wondering about this.

 

^what kinda air do you think your KNN is sucking in, sitting by the heatshield?

 

the IC just helps you boost higher safer...youll be fine with a non IC in warm weather?...more than a few people in socal have had the non IC kit, what do you guys think the weahter is like here?....

 

just keep your boost level conservative and you should be fine and monitor everything and regularly check cooland and oil levels.

 

ok.. thats what I was wondering. I didn't know if sucking in hotter compressed air after going thru a turbo was going to harm more than if it was going thru an intercooler. So basically intercooler just makes the air cooler so you can boost higher and get more hp?

 

^thats the easy way to say it

 

yes, just make sure your temps dont get too high with a pyrometer.

 

ok thanks.. thats all I wanted to know. I'm guessing pyrometer=egt gauge.

 

yup

 

great. lots of help. Looks like I'll be saving up for that maybe instead of a front bumper and hood.. something else to think about! Thanks again.
