Fmic

[Proximity Motorsport]

Hey,

I want to get an FMIC for my r32 gts-t soon enough and it already have highflowed turbo so boost aint around 4500rpm mark so i want to step up a little. I am concerned with cooler piping lengh and i thought up a little idea in my head that the same side inlet/outlet would be good with custom piping... could make lengh alot shorter, and no cutting holes under battery tray and save over 1m of piping not needed.

Just wondering if anyone could recommend some good brands that make them.. im finding it hard to find.

think about it serioulsy, the air for that cooler still has to go all the whole length of the intercooler back up to the engine

the only difference is that its part of the cooler, no piping, so it looks like less piping...

i put a cheap fmic on. i have about 200 to maybe 250rpm's more lag, which isn't noticable unless i'm studying the guages

however retaining stock piping and not cutting holes definately has its ups! i was looking to go this route but couldnt justify it when justjap sells their kits for $350ish and ebay can be cheaper (and dodgey too!)

my mate has a 33 with a similar cooler to that, but a bigger and better version. i dislike the design. the air travels in, does a 90 degree turn, travels through the core, does another 90 degree turn then comes out. in my opinion it just slows the air flow down to much. that is why i like the hybrid style coolers. they keep the air flowing in a good direction. no sharp turns inside the cooler. and the apexi and blits ones have a 90 degree bend in them, but it is in the piping, not in the core.
