hogmaw Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Normally it is not so noticeable as winter > spring > summer is transitional, but these past few days have been so hot I have certainly noticed a drop in performance due to warmer air. Is it possible to have 2xSMICs, one either side?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Wouldnt that draw in more hot air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to have 2xSMICs, one either side?! Is it possibly, certainly with enough tinkering/parts/time/money. Why not just go front mount?

juanchan Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Use the supe as the weekend toy. It'll feel fast no matter what the weather when compared to a boring daily drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I haven't noticed a difference, how's your SMIC ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Only a couple of weeks ago it was cold enough to be frosty. We've gone in that time from the densest air you will get in this country to some of the thinnest because of the hot weather so if your car is affected badly by hotter thinner air you'll have noticed it much more. Usually that sort of weather change is normally gradual over a couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprarob Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 my car used to react like that in hot weather I changed the totally shagged side mount for a Chris wilson one and now there is no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 My brunters results: Shot intercooler, July, 38C, tail wind = 153mph New intercooler, March, 7C, tail wind = 161mph Car otherwise same for both events. How do you know you wouldn't have gone the same speed in the higher temperatures with the shot intercooler? I have new chris wilson smic btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
