I am shortly about to do a front mount intercooler on my st205.
What I want to know is, has anyone dont this first hand, on a standard 205, and gained a noticeable difference? Most people that i know that have done this have gone forged and a big ol turbo at the same time making their input in valuable Please, dont tell me about my friends done it and he says its great or whatever. I want to truly gauge did it make a difference My issue with the water to air is on the track the water to air gets hot (intake temp in high 50s) and you feel a loss in power. If theres no real gain felt I will bore my ct20 out to take a 52mm compressor and give it some chilli sauce - and in the process have to retune the ecu. making the front mount worth while |

The way i see it is toyota spent thousands of dollars into the 3stge designing it the way they did they made tmic water to air for a reason. if a front mount intcooler was better they would of made it that way from factory . i would say leave it as it is less problems in the future really if you dont wanna have problem with it !

The top mount is inadiquit for the track. Which i do often. It heats up and power is down pretty quick. I know the front mount will keep about 35-40 degrees intake temp as opposed to 55+
I just want to have some feedback does it open up the top end. My feedback so far from a few guys is no, it just drives like the top mount when its cold. Always cooler |

keeping everything the same and converting to a FMIC you will gain a little bit of lag but your intake temps should be lower. Try upgrading the heat exchanger for the WAIC, that will be more efficient

One of my friends has done that has the exchanger from a porsche. Is huge adds another 4l.. However it has the same issue of heat soak, it just lasts longer before the power drops off

Do you have heat reflective tape on the bottom of the intercooler?

Indeed, have done that. Tried different mixtures of coolants etc.
I can twll you now it does nothing. Have mapped the temperature with the datalogit .. Not a hair of improvement |
