Intercooler too large?

[GunnaBaSleeper]

Is there such a thing as an intercooler thats too large? (well i know there is but...) i have a FMIC core that measures like 26X12X2.5 is that too large for the factory T25? or will it cost efficiency? also if that is indeed too large is there any thing to be gained by replacing the piping with the RRE setup upper,additional upper and lower of is the stock piping pretty efficent?

A front mount intercooler itself is too big for a t-25. That intercooler is huge.
As for the piping the stock piping is restrictive and some noticeable gains will be seen from upgrading to hard piping.

theoretically a big FMIC should hurt performance on a T-25, but me and one of my friends have both ran t-25's on a greddy large Front mount and havent noticed a difference in anything my friend said he even gained power. As for the piping you should see some gain in upgrading that.

My friend put a huge intercooler on the front of his 2G and I left the stock smic on mine. At the same boost levels I was dropping him off the launch. At the time his car was setup very similarly to mine. Lot's of lag.

Thats a descent size intercooler but its still smaller then the OBX, GREDDY, Dejon, AMS kits. You aren't going to notice a difference, it is that minimal
