a couple hours later and a few beers, my fmic is installed
big custom work but its done

Got dimensions on it? (Or a source?..is it an ebay FMIC?)
Pretty much exactly what I was planning on doing here in a few weeks, but haven't bought an intercooler yet.

OMG...... WOW.....
That is unbelivable compared to stock.
Capable of flowing enough CFM to keep a Pratt&Whitney J58 happy!!

No really Nice job on the install!!

Def give us specs and whatnot.

nice i have the same ebay special but i put mine fiurther back and up higher so i would retain the same distribution of frontal air between IC and rad ..

Is there any issue with going that much bigger and hurting spool up?

JC951

you might have a drop in pressure...maybe a couple psi or so...but if you tune it for the change in air flow and whatnot then I wouldn't see a problem with it

thanks!,

the fmic came from ebay, pretty cheap, around 200$ shipped

as for the specs, i have no clue but if you look further on ebay, you will find it easily

do late cars have a sheetmetal crossmember between the bumper shocks? seems to me if they did that half of that ic would be kinda useless

if you measure and calculate the cross sectional area of the standard intercooler you may be very suprised.5.5x5+27.5sq,in
I have that one and its a bit more as its 3.5" thick ..but if not carful you can one the same only 12x3.5 but if you get a very similar looking one from ebay that is only 3" thick witch calculates out at slightly less it may flow less than a standard one . 12 x3 =27
they are often listed as FC3 Rx7 and V mount ..
the core is 18x12x3.5"

The one from my old car is a bit bigger than that one (see attached). I bought it from Roush Racing, it was left over from their old Trans Am days. I didn't have any noticable increase in lag, which honestly surprised me.

That came out great.

Pretty convenient .... where the pipes like that when you bought it ???

From what I understand, the units pressurize instantly so all this talk about bigger fmic and associated pipes adding lag is largely untrue.
