I do believe that the radiator is farther forward... but I am probably wrong.

 

you can run an fmic on a 2.8. but if i were you i would do water/meth injection, works better than a smic or fmic, and cheaper and easier to install

 

do you have the G1? or the G2?

im going to guess the G2.. but you're not going to be able tointercool the G2 due to it's design. the supercharger is the intake manifold. so there is no way to route piping out of that, into an intercooler, and back into the charger/manifold.. if you had a G1, that would be a different story. the supercharger unit is offset to the intake side of the engine bay. so it is a seperate peice than the intake manifold is.. most people with G1's(like 11 people in the world) have either a SMIC or FMIC..

you're best betis likesaid,chemically cooling. get a water/meth injection kit and you'll feel an amazing difference. look into SnowPerformance, or DevilsOwn.. there are no kits for the 2.8, but that doesn't matter, just get a stg 1 1.8t kit

and as far as SMIC's getting heatsoaked. this is only true if you pass the intercooler's limits. it will also happen with a FMIC. as long as the core size is large enough for your needs(amount of air being pushed and pressure of that air) and the placement is in an area of good flow, then there is no difference in a SMIC or FMIC... but you will always be able to go larger in a FMIC due to space

 

I'm guessing this is what you were trying to type? And yes very true, only the G1 is set up for an intercooler.

 

I have seen a few methanol injected system for 2.8's, but I was told that I would not be allowed to race in certain things by using chemical injection... is this true?

 

haha, yes. sometimes auto-pilot gets the best of me.. thanks

 

what type of racing are you referring to?

drag racing, then yes,this is partially true. if you get into some more serious "modifed street class" bracket racing, or something like that. then no, you are not allowed to us methanol injection.but for any test n tune nightsyou will be ok with WMI..

as for road racing/auto cross. as far as i know, there are no limits to WMI systems to their rules

 

Colorado Snow Racing I guess I could just check into regulations...

 

get a chargecooler instead, it has a few more parts but it has its own water tank and dosent suffer from heat soak, the radiator for the coolar will have to be placed up front but its more like installing another A/C condenser instead of a full on FMIC, it looks pretty discrete.

 

Tell me more about this chargecooler...
