tmic

[weeksy]

Why is it we cant go above 100mph with a tmic?this is a design fault i assume.

Its really !Removed! me off the fact that up to 100 i can shock most cars but after that im stuck,i know the solution is a fmic but why would Subaru use this on later model cars.

The tmic's themselves seem to have got better from classic to newage but the position they're in will always cause a heat soak issue .

You could try a bigger scoop (if they do them for blob eyes) a zero sports undertray or even some ice in the sti tmic water spray bottle, for track day 100 mph stuff

Whats a under tray do?think im going to just get a fmic but no idea where to take the car for a re map around here...gloucestershire area.

turbo blanket may be worth a look, good for keeping the heat in the turbo for faster spool and exhaust, and even better for keeping heat out of the bay. I can just about touch the top of the blanket as it retains that much heat, and the under side of the i/c is cool to touch.

I've also read that the scoop becomes inefficient at directing the airflow at 70+ unsure if how accurate this is though,

[weeksy]

Prob get fmic but no where around here does mapping....gloucestershire any ideas/recommendations

[stants]

Yours a new age or classic ?

Race dynamic will come to you other than that I'm not too sure near your part of the world, how far are you willing to travel ?

[weeksy]

V4jdm redtop classic buddy race dynamics any good?

I can safely say I've been past 100mph with TMIC  on private roads and tracks 

[stants]

He comes recommended has good results with new age cars a few members here have used him, I'm booked in tomorrow for a session with him on a classic so will let you know my thoughts

[weeksy]

Stants that would be great bud if you dont mind.Id love to know how you get on with it.

[Gaulson]

I'm with you Gambit, mine pulls well all the way past 130. When I was on a track obviously :)

[weeksy]

I was told never to go above 100mph with tmic so always stuck to it.

[Gambit]

I've not heard that before only thing I know is maintaining high speed for long period of time would soon destroy the engine. Say flat out on a a long straight for a few minute's wouldn't be good.

Painting the intercooler can reduce heat soak. Apart from that water/meth spray on intercooler or into turbo this is the cheaper route than front mount and more efficient air intake temperature reduction and the kit can be made for diy. Currently building mine will be switched to start with but will make it activate by boost pressure

I was told never to go above 100mph with tmic so always stuck to it.

Do you know what the logic was for that? Not heard that before either

[Ash007ks]

reverse the scoop, this allows air to travel over the scoop and inside, all the classics that do time attack do this :)

[quit]

there was some logic in that the scoop didnt work well after 112mph but its only in certain cross winds,

 

there is a TOTB car running  a top mount!
