    So I bought a t3 super 60 for the miata, and I am in the process of deciding on Whether to run an intercooler or meth injection. I like the idea of not haveing to mess with IC mounting/ IC piping costs. I know a few of you have dabbled into this, so give me all the info you've got. Ive read a few FAQs but i can't find any real direction on best prices for kits, the right kit for my setup, etc.

    no race car? becuz homeowner...

          Talk to Jason (Z31) about it. He's running it on the Z he has. But I think he's switching to a FMIC. It may be initially easier to do but it's kind of a pita to have to rely on it all the time. Kinda like nitrous.

            Meth has too many variables and is too risky IMO to rely on rather than using an intercooler.

            FASTER THAN DUBBSY

                I would do the intercooler until you get to the point of having to add meth. I did it this way, turns out to be a shitload of work when your spraying meth at every single stoplight. I love the stuff, but i would like to have an IC first, then meth for huge power on pump, prefferably set on a 2-stage boost controller.

                    i would also just go with the intercooler you can find them for pretty cheap if you take the time to look

                    1993 240sx hatch - project/money pit
                    1998 Grand Cherokee LTD - Winter beater

                    N/A is the expensive way to go slow

                      why wouldnt you want an intercooler?

                      you can add to the rice, its safer, and you dont need meth.

                      i thought meth was used more as an additive, not a cooling system.

                        find a used evo intercooler, i would give you mine..but it cracked.

                        its inexpensive, and it works.

                              Injection >>> Intercooler

                              I'd like to see you get well below ambient IAT's with your A2A IC.........

                              while having better boost response and a simpler system, without tearing up your front.....

                              There is an awesome thread I should link to on the club..........

                              showed a ton of well documented logs (IAT's ect) going from a large FMIC to strictly chemical inection........ showing the results of different mixtures of water and alcohol on IAT's

                              great results

                              There is no way i am going to run an IC on my car

                              not saying A2A IC's are bad or anything, they are a good thing, just not required with a good injection system

                                I agree the injection system is just one more thing to worry about, but it does have definite advantages

                                and i for one hate intake piping going all over

                                  Wes, I'm going with Nistune tuning software, E85+Methanol injection, and 9:1 compression pistons for now.

                                  Like Zack said your Intake Air Temps are going to be below your outside air temp and you can go 30% over your fuel injectors for extra fueling. I think the octane rating is 112

                                    Why not use an intercooler along with meth injection?

                                          I understand the advantages, but why would you want to substitute cooling for an aditive?

                                          Joel, your car is going to be down all winter, its not like you wont have time to make something work. you can make your piping...the way you want it, and an ic isnt that expensive. you can buy a good used one one ebay for cheap.

                                          not only that you dont have to worry about proper applications for your car, you can buy a used side mount and make it work.
