Anybody Used The Fmic With Same Sided Entry And Exit?

[QRI05E]

The idea of a same side twin entry/exit FMIC seems like an excellent option for a few reasons:

- Easy to plumb back to stock piping

- Air has twice the distance to cool down (reffer to diagram)

- Lag time shouldn't be noticed due to having 2 x narrower cores rather then 1 large core

The down side i see is:

- Loss in throttle responce due to much longer air travel route

- Too many sharp bends the air travels through

- Turbulance in end tanks

depending on size,

- Too many sharp bends the air travels through

2 extras yes

- Turbulance in end tanks

depending on endtank design as with all coolers. My cooler has a curved return end so I "believe" this should help turn the air, I went out looking for something like this though. It is funny though as the top side coming in is silghtly warm but the bottom half is stone cold, so i look at it as the air is being pushed through the cooler twice, good for air temp, bad for overall flow as it pushed effectively along a double length cooler.

I will remind all this is all stipulation as I have no test result.

the change from the stock cooler was remarkable, my overall engine temps were way lower and my retun pipes "feel" was much colder. very effective cooling... no flow tests what so ever. My only guage of temps is based of engy temperature sensor from ebay so the source is not very strong. compared to stock cooler mind you!! I would love to find some tested comparisons if anyone has any links to actual controlled temp tests and flow tests. Wonder when mine becomes to much of a restriction as I would imagine it would be sooner than a more conventional straight through cooler.
