fmic too big???

[R-Yahne_240]

i bought a fmic the dimentions are 24" core x3"thick x 12" tall teh bottom totals at 31" long

im running this on stock boost for now then a tune at 12psi on the stock turbo set up

do you think this intercooler is too big?????

im probly gonna sell it so hit me with a price for it if your interested

it fits a s13 and i have all piping for the intercooler

its a Godspeed supercooler

i dont think its too big. its all about the pressure drop of the intercooler.

Its a little big but should be fine.

I'd say it's too big for the stock turbo. May see some lag as it fills up with boost. Thats not what gets me though. The front bumper support is my main concern. I'd like to keep it in place for chasis rigidty.

[R-Yahne_240]

i thought it would be ok but i want sure i am gonna tune at 12psi so it should be good

i think its too big for the stock turbo, but then again all your really hurting on is a little more turbo lag which you always will get doin fmic

[Vr6WantSr20det]

I think the tiny bit of lag u'll feel is well surpased by the cooling capabilities of the FMIC. You will have to trim the bumper support but it's still useable. I have the Blitz LM on a stock t25, i got it due to least pressure drop and least heat soak. If u are able to notice the tiny bit of lag, u could always sell it. Good luck. I'm sure the FMIC i got is overkill for the t25, and maybe even the gt2871r i have sitting in my room, but ur better off doing it once. If u plan to upgrade turbo's in the future i'de say keep it.

i wouldnt worry abput it man like they said its all about the psi drop,it looks good just keap it and move on to the next choice on your wish list

The front support does nothing for chassis rigidity in handling terms. It does have rigidity in compressive frontal collisions.

I know with the S14, you can install the intercooler in a way so you don't have to lose the bumper support...

good call
