looking good

Just curious tho..

isn't the intercooler almost completely blocked by the bumper? or will there be ducting of some sort?

did u keep it high so that Oil cooler/rad doesn't get blocked?


what's the bung in the compression tube for? Water/meth? AIC?

thats a sweet compression tube. the bung is probably for the intake temp sensor.

That's some nice intercooler there. I see that you too found the two mystery M8 holes behind the front bumper in the frame rail...Really nice job on the throttle body adapter.

Please explain the distributor.

Yes, that is for the ats, but the only thing that is being blocking of course is the radiator.This is the down side to an fmic. This is also why i decided to vmount my fc as you can see in teddyrx2s pics. However, the oil cooler is not blocked, and to compensate for airflow there will be ducting. Also, i beleieve he is going to buy a big mouth bumper in front.

That car belongs to a customer we worked on my brother piston killa! and myself did all the work for this guy. He wants to go with the third gen coil set up usiing 6ALS running the F9 haltech just for fuel. We do plan on running some ducting for the car to get more air flow to it. yeah the bung is for the ATS.

If your talking about the pic in my signature yes there has been some pretty good numbers that come out of that set up. I just don't have the numbers cuz thats my brother's car in the sig getting ready to under go body work and paint for it's debue this summer. We could make you a setup like that $450.00 ported and polish on 3inch TB. Already got a couple of people wanting to buy some that are made to order. Hold on just a sec and i will post a pic of one up close.

I am thinking about making an FMIC ready to bolt in kit. It will be similar to the one i just did on the Red Fc. However, it will be made to fit around the stock headlight housings, and the intercooler will be made to fit the mouth of a stock bumper. The way this will be done is by making custom end tanks where inlet and outlet will be relocated for convenience, ground clearance and space for IC piping. The kit will sale at $650.00 to $700.00+/- with everything ready to bolt in. If anyone is interested let me know, but if I don't receive any responses within the next couple of weeks it will be up for bids on eBay.

I'd eventually be interested in something like this. I'm looking for the shortest path in and out. If you're planning on building these rather often I'd like to see one installed.
Thanks.
