I'm ditching the POS e-bay FMIC for an new more efficent one the core is 22x9x3. So I'm thinking the A/C comming out too since I can't fit the A/C fan in the car any way why not it's around a 42lbs. Heres a pic on the new IC hopefully I'll get it on tonight/ tomorrrow morrning.

I picked it up from www.turbo-concepts.com

Eric,
Can you give specifics on why the ebay FMIC is a POS and not as efficient. Like was it on your car and it was heat soaking or leaking.

Thanks.

Good question Wil, something i was interested about. The new one looks good and pricing didnt look to bad. Hopefully it will look better.

It was heat soaking at the track and pretty much any time it was over 60* outside and I would push any thing over 15 psi. I was bad enough to cause knock. Godspeed the company that makes the Ebay core has it rated at 500whp

We all know I'm not putting down any were near that.

looks pretty sweet, sucks you had to cut ur bumper tho.

koho2731 · 05-06-2006, 09:45 PM

Yea cutting the bumper sucked and I really didn't want to do it, but there's not point to having a big FMIC if half of it is covered by the bumper cover

Silverfc88 · 05-06-2006, 09:48 PM

Looks like a decent core. Let us know some numbers when you get the chance.

I had to do the same with my front bumper to get the most out of it.

koho2731 · 05-06-2006, 10:16 PM

Yea I have to get to a dyno some time but on my logger I got 44.24 air flow

and the best part is I'm running rich insted of lean and no knock
