Volvo Fmic Install In 87 Tii
#11
My thoughts are that it will cool better with a Gap between the FMIC and the radiator. I plan on some aditional ducting to bring air to the front od\f the rad bypassing the FMIC. Stay tuned to this BAT channel for for progress reports

I've heard that intercooler doesnt flow very well, this guy did some flow tests on some IC's and the volvo was included:

of course it's got alot of surface area so thats cool :bigok:
thats the same guy with the crazy fast turbo minivan, i think he's dead now though?

Remmeber FLOW is not everything. The VOLVO has one the highest heat rejection rating, more important than flow in my book. Also the cost vs, benefit analysis.
The NPR IC: at 329cfm and 290°F on the inlet side of the IC, the
pressure
drop is 0.09psi. The outlet temp is 130°F, heat rejected is 55553
BTU/hr, and
the calculated heat exchange area is 1404 square inches.
Starion IC : (the bigger one) at 324cfm and 292°F on the inlet side of
the
IC, the pressure drop is 0.29psi. The outlet temp is 139°F, heat
rejected is
52287 BTU/hr, and the calculated heat exchange area is 1217 square
inches.
Saab 9000 IC: at 332cfm and 295°F on the inlet side of the IC, the
pressure
drop is 0.81psi. The outlet temp is 123°F, heat rejected is 60350
BTU/hr, and
the calculated heat exchange area is 1602 square inches.
Volvo IC: at 331cfm and 293°F on the inlet side of the IC, the pressure
drop
is 0.55psi. The outlet temp is 126°F, heat rejected is 58809 BTU/hr,
and the
calculated heat exchange area is 1539 square inches.
If all goes well with this set-up the next atep will be a custom IC in the same location
