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.

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.
