Neg. Just the front was fine with me.
I think it could be too much. I've lightly scuffed this thing a few times already. The 2.5" brings the lip that much lower and further from the car.
I decided to give the MS6 a bit of a facelift. I started by ordering:
All Fit Lip Kit with 1.5" lip, for front/rear bumpers:
Lip Kit For Cars | Traditional 1.5 Inch All-Fit Lip Kit
And Diamond XXL powder coat black grille mesh from customcargrilles.com...
I used my 0WG maf cal map for before/after comparison of intercooler impact.
The results are predictable. For similar IATs and conditions, the TR82 horizontal cooled the air ~15F cooler than the TRV1859 vertical (graph posted). This comes at a cost of flow however. You can see in the attached...
I already posted all this somewhere else, but seeing as it's helpful I thought I would post this here.
I had a curiosity about vertical vs. horizontal FMICs for our cars.
I've been reading papers/articles/forums regarding vertical flow/horizontal flow front mount intercoolers.
The general...
I know the shop puts synthetic in trans and rear axle when I have the fluids changed every 30k miles. I'm not sure what they used. It's a good shop so I'm sure they use decent stuff.
I'm under NDA, but I'm sure CS will share my findings when they get it all worked out. I have to pull it for smog soon so I'm gonna get it cleaned up and powdered I think.
Many of you have seen and/or been a part of this build over the last 5! years. Yup, five years kiddos. I bought this bone stock in 2012 with 33k miles (and low compression in #3 out of the gate). This isn't a build thread as much as a here's where I am now, and I'll update as I go along from...
I just realized I've been running this IM for over a year. Why haven't the rest of you installed yours yet?
Long term review: It is a hard part of course and no wear/tear failure is expected. I haven't had any issues with airleaks or anything else regarding the intake manifold. I haven't...
FYI, the pump doesn't suck. It needs a gravity feed, i.e. supply and/line above pump, or at least flat in short runs. If you have any issues with inconsistent spraying, I would find a way to fix that up. Here's a quick test. If your meth tank is full and if you pull the 1/4" supply line...
I'm kind of a big deal, so no need for my backstory. Also, I have many leatherbound books that smell of mahogany. Long story short, I'm here to rape faces.
