Talking twins with no FMIC?

Anyone running FI without an IC?? Any issuses? My car will be mostly street driven. Max PSI will probally be 18ish. How much power will i be missing out on?

Oh, I also plan on using meth inj. to make up for the lost of a FMIC. At what PSI is a good starting point fo it to kick in??

Thanks -Ron

If you are not planning to run an intercooler at all, I would run E85.

E85 and meth to be safe.By the time you do that you could hav had a treadstone IC with custom coldside and saved a little money, just go IC man.

Well because you can do it rather cheaply, your numbers will be better, and it will be saferr.You can get an IC for 400, and a piping kit for 160, 560 bucks vs 1800 bucks(the extra money for more fuel to run E85 and the meth/meth kit). You pick.

Hrm, okay I see your problem, you can either run straight meth and pump(93) or water/meth and E85, put for E85 you need more fuel.

I plan to run twins with no A2A intercooler

its adds weight, the cheap ones that people use are ridiculously restrictive and I dont believe they offer any performance gains over using no intercooler.

I will be running e85 btw

Yeah I was planning on runnung e-85 most of the time. And I was going to use Meth/water for high boost (10 +) Now that I cant run a IC should I set the Meth/Water setting to kick in at lower boost? At what psi does the turbos really start building heat?

Doing some research... I have a Trendstone twin turbo IC rated at 1300hp.(wont fit) My hp goal is 1000hp. Would twin IC be a good way to go means I cant fit the other one? Trendstone makes 14.25x12x3.5 rated at 500hp. I might be able to fit them on the outside of the frame simmular to the twin IC that Procharger ran on thier F-body kits (laying them down verticly)

BTW- each of my turbos are behind the headlights.
