Scottie-GNZ Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 There have been several posts in the past about adapting a GN I/C for use a FMIC in a Z car. I have seen it done in a 280ZXT and I believe someone else here is or has done it. There are a couple for sale on the Buick forums for $75/ea, so make a move quick if interested. http://www.turbobuicks.com/ubb/Forum11/HTML/001416.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 He's not the one selling them, and the sale is currently 'pending' on the two that are available. We'll have to wait and see if the deal falls through or not... Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted November 17, 2002 Author Share Posted November 17, 2002 Someone else asked me the same question in an email so I will post the response here: --------------- The stock GN I/C is limited in how much HP it can support but the GNers do not really know what that limit is. There are 2 problems with it. When making big HP, the necks are a little restrictive but there is a "Big-neck" kit that fixes that. http://gnttype.org/techarea/turbo/duttneck.html The other issue is that in the GN it sits between the radiator and the engine!!! What a stupid design! The radiator side is boxed in with air entering the box from the bottom and the engine side has a fan on the crank pulley. Even with that it still gets heat-soaked, defeating the purpose of an I/C. In the Z it would be an FMIC and not have the heat-soak issue. So with the big-neck kit and mounted as a FMIC, it would be pretty darn good. Will it support 450hp? If it is 450RWHP, I would say no if it is unmodified and iffy with a big-neck. What will definitely work is what they refer to as an "I/C and a half". Basically extending the stock core by adding half of another core to it and extending the tanks. If you can weld aluminum or have someone to do it cheaply, you can make a very good and cheap solution. This URL will give you an idea. http://gnttype.org/techarea/pictureguides/intercoolers/afvsstock.html ---------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
