Especially now!

First time Moog plays the intercooler!

this kind of mod is best thought of as a supporting mod, in other words, good cooling of the compressed air means there is less chance of detonation, pinging, engine damage etc. How much more power you get depends on other mods like exhaust and boost etc...

@500hpb20 GTiRs are a classic and adored by those that appreciate their boxyness and nugget like shape. And they are AWD.

@jawbreaker480 No, but it is a supporting mod that allows other parts of the turbo system to run more boost efficiently, ending up with more power.

Watching in 2020! Absolutely mental how far things have gone for you guys. You deserve every part of it!

@DeHox It's more a supporting mod than a performance mod, but allows you to safely run more power than the stock TMIC.

@astroid911 Yes the intercoler is part of the turbo system

_"welcome to another episodes of mighty car mods"_ *lol*

@MrSubielove The car with Supercharger and Turbo is our Nissan March SuperTurbo.

@IceCold720 Yes this will be coming soon!

I love going back and seeing the old show vs the new episodes

Can you guys do an episode which compares SIDE mount to FRONT mount intercoolers? There needs to be another mythbusting episode because the internet is currently all messed up about the topic.

Very nice what you have done with it, you used to see a fair few of these about but now they’ve disappeared of the roads 😢

@hondasilvia yep but its complicated, there is a new VW golf that does it, and the march superturbo covered in episode 15 all show how its done

@mightycarmods the car i have! and just ordered my fmic so i got the guide and everything to do! You guys did a really good job on the body kit (front bumper) looks really nice!

@MrSubielove Nissn Pulsar GTiR

mighty car mods is the best i learn something with every video!

I like the way you did the front bumper where you sort of hid the fmic behind the standard bumper it looks great, way better then those pulsars where people butcher the front bumper good work. Keep the videos coming they are all well put together.

@500hpb20 Definitely not slow. It's the most powerful SR20 Nissan ever made.

now these guy's have really taught me allot about modifying car's, and also helping me in my career.

I like this infotainment guys, thanks alot for making it! :) Bigups from Sweden.

You'd be surprised, even some owners of performance cars don't know what they're doing; my Starlet GT Turbo had a front mount intercooler simpy bolted to the front crash beam and piping which led to nowhere simply cable tied in place. The factory top mount intercooler, meanwhile, was still in place.

The red GT-R in the background at 0:35 must have been brand new, this was filmed only a few months after the R35 GT-R first went on sale

wow crazy man it only seem like yesterday you guys started moding cars almost ten years since the gti-r :O

Agreed. I'd watch it! It gives it the DIY approach that anyone can handle.

Would a front mount intercooler work on a mid engine car? The radiator is in the front, but it seems like trying to run intake piping to the front and back wouldn't really work. It has a side mount from the factory right inside the side intake.

sweet ride and nice intercoller!

WTF, I saw the vintage look of the video and clicked on it without realizing it was MCM, ha ha, 😂🤣... wow, btw I do like that little pocket rocket, sick ride!

Really useful video. Ill be doing this to my pulsar in the up coming months.

I've got a glanza 1.3 turbo with the standard top intercooler. Would a front mount make any difference except look wise?

Great work boys

Yeah i live in colorado and would love a Gti-r since there all wheel drive and i did see one online that was an hour away from me but i had no clue what the process is on owning a JDM car in the us.

Nice vid, just wondering what brand intercooler kit did you use and what happens to the windshield washer reservoir?

Revisiting in 2020!!!

one question, im going to install intercooler on my car, the radiator also will be there, but what about the condenser for my aircondition? is there one of the two i will have to remove when installing my intercooler? if so which is it? to remove the radiator or the condenser?

How do you know what pipes and tubes to use? is the same for any other car? or would it be different size tubes?

@skrach1000 Its called a Blow-off valve mate. You need a turbo for it to work and you have to get rid of the diverter valve and install the Blow off valve through the pressurized intake pipe.

can you tell me if i have non turbo car and i just swap a turbo engine with intercooler it will fit on corolla ke70 please let me know sir

Mighty Car Mods due to increased plumbing was there any effect on boost pressure ?

over 8 years wow ye have come a long way

@TheSheepherd good question yes, it is an issue. thats why they don't have it there in the first place. only put a front mount on if you need to . check other posts

@astroid911 When the air is sucked in by the turbo it is superheated as it goes round so fast. The intercooler is there to cool down the air taken in as cold air works much better in an engine than hot air.

hey mighty! what size was that intercooler?? im looking to install a front mount on my gtir and i think yours fit perfect !

Yeah same i swear those things are made for the mountains in the winter. But i still love my 08 LGT more than anything

I was still in grade school man the memories

where did you relocate the washer bottle and expansion tank to? and did you have much cutting to get the pipes to fit?

How big was the performance change i just orderd a big ass intercooler for my Nissan Gazelle so what performance changes will i expect? 5 to 8 hp? i kno it dosent do that much but it looks real good.

Do you have install a front mount intercooler for 2012 kia optima sx turbo

That all depends on the aspiration of the vehicle in the first place. For example, a WRX Sti can accept many new turbochargers without any other mods. Turning a N/A to boosted aspiration however entails the former

can you hear the stock bov more when adding an aftermarket front mount intercooler?

if I put a bigger intercooler on my golf tdi will it need remapped afterwards? x

would the turbo or anything in the bay need to be upgraded to run a bigger intercooler and piping ?

Heya MCM dudes!, Thanks for the vids there great :). I have a GTi-R and im thinking about getting a FMIC. I was wondering what ones u guys got specifically ( as it looks great ) and possibly a link to where u brought it. Thanks.

2019 and I'm still hear....

Wow, 300hp in a tiny hatch like that! So sick. I wish we had them in the states.

@dksrival15 it's completely sealed like a radiator but for air

Does the intercooler and turbo come together with one upgrade? what does intercooler actualy do for the car? can automatic car's be upgraded? some say that computers inside should be tuned to match upgrades? is that true?

Do you need to give your car a tune after you put the larger intercooler on?

Hi there, nice work, quick question; due to the longer piping and bigger intercooler, didnt that create turbo lag?? or is it an upgraded turbo? obviously there is more flow at higher RPMS theremore more top end power, how is it at 0-3000rpms?

I am building a turo car right now that will have a front mount, must the back of the intercooler be flush against the radiator or something else for it to work properly or is it okay to have it suspended without touching anyything on either side?

hey guys, i have a vw polo, but how would i fit the intercooler? and where would it lead to? air filter? radioator? etc

hey everyone,,, did this mod to my 95 r33 gtst... had to remove a vacuum line from old stock piping. new pipes dont have the nipple to put the line back in the right place... should i reroute the line and if so can someone tell me were it goes? of just get a new nipple welded onto new pipe?

What would be the best turbocharger to buy? the car is a 1993 acura integra

cool stuff!

lol funny story my mate in tassy took me for a drive in his gtir and i said it looks like the gtir off mighty mods and it is this one it goes really well now top job guys

what exactly does an intercooler do?do you put it infront so you redirect the cold air and then put it in th intake or into a turbo or somthing idk...

Did you guys have to cut through anything to get the plumbing into the engine bay?

Intercoolers are for all engines, they cool down the air charge and allow more air into the engine because it's denser due to the loss of heat. Though, they do complement turbochargers and superchargers quite well as the compression heats up the air.

What supporting mods need to be done to install a fmic?

Would an intercooler not stop air getting to your radiator and make it over-heat?

"welcome to another episodes of might mods" lmao

how do you get that tssst sound when you change gear?

Idk much or rather anything about tuning up a car so with that being said what is an intercooler?and what does it do??

Hey there, just wondering what sites I can order parts off of for my Pulsar GTIR. I'm in Canada and can't find anything

is that a mazda road pacer on the hoist at about 30 secmark ?

Hey i whats better a bigger or a norm/small sized intercooler? friend said smaller is better

@mightycarmods I thought putting on a more efficient inter cooler increases power without any tuning done. More oxygen means a bigger bang so more power?

So im pretty clueless on this subject.. what exactly does an intercooler do and where does the piping start and finish?

If I install a new inter-cooler, would I have to remap my ECU? Can't seem to find anyone that knows...

Did you lose the tow hook cover for the bar?

Tunerdude94 well after covid19 has finished get off your butt and go there.

Im looking into buying a GtiR tomorrow and it has the original top mount cooler, is it worth the upgrade to front? dont intend to boost bhp that much, its pushing 300bhp now. thats enough for me, so is the upgrade worth while?

If you're going to a track then yes, keeping it as cool as possible always helps

Wowsers. Memory lane!

can u keep ur a/c and still have intercooler(turbo) on a 95 honda civic?

Can you put an intercooler on a non turbo car, is so, are there any benefits?

Totally feel you man a girl that I now got her intercooler destroyed this way on her corolla

if you wanted to cool it down more could you have the stock intercooler and the front mount couldn't they both fit

GTi-R's are SO super sexy. Too bad we don't have them here in the States...aside fromt he few imported ones. I do have a '92 Sentra (Sunny, for the JDM folks) SE-R with a Bluebird turbo motor. Cool show guys...subscribing.

correct me if I'm wrong....on one of your vids i think a guy mentioned something about the car having a Turbo and a Supercharger is that true?

hell good idea to be angle grinding that close to your paint work

Ok... The intercooler and the turbo are two separate components, which can be modified separately. The intercooler provides cooler air to the engine (the colder the air, the denser it is, the more to combust. The more to combust, the bigger the bang, the more power). Auto cars can be upgraded. ECUs (computers) need to be upgraded and tuned to match upgrades to get best possible performance, and to make the engine as efficient as possible :) Hope that helps.

You only need intercooler for turbos?

@hondasilvia Fact : Lancia was the first car company to create the Turbo, Supercharged combo.

is it possible to install front intercooler to my Hona Civic 96 VTI without turbo? just the intercooler

primer wont stop rust use duragal on that bumper support :) and replace the tow hook if that baby has to go on a tilt and slide its a must have and will save a lot of hassle

what happens if you break the intercooler is it bad? cos i went down a driveway and hit the bottom and now my intercooler is bent in a bit and it looks crooked. But the car still drives ok like i dont notice anything different.

I'd take it off and check for leaks to be sure

a large front mount can take some of the cooling effect front the radiator. i have a large front mount on my gts;t r33 and i have not noticed ant difference. i have noticed great drift/ circuit car have a v ; mount radiator/ intercooler. but sounds hard and expensive, but this is the best way to do it.
