Biggest FMIC you have seen in an FC?
What's the biggest FMIC that will fit in an FC? I don't mind cutting the bumper.
https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...3&d=1186131875 looks like that one is a 24x12x3
maybe fit a 31" wide or a 27"? I think a 27x12x3 might fit in there nicely
I still need to take my bumper off and see, but I thought I'd ask you guys first

Mine is about 26x15.6x3.5" (20x15.6x3.5" core) and is rated for 1500hp @ 1.5psi pressure drop. It is mounted in front of the crossmember by the radiator rather than in the front fascia, so the hood latch had to be removed.
The really large intercoolers tend to be on cars with cut-up or removed bumpers, and/or blocked brake ducts. Not good.

^^ I'm not sure a 13b can generate enough power to justify needing the biggest intercooler that can fit in an FC. If so, I really wonder what the 20b guys do.

The next question is, what's the biggest FMIC mounted to an FC without totally destroying the inside of the bumper or cutting out supports?
Mine is about 24" x 14" x 3", mounted behind the bumper reinforcements just below the hood latch. I suspect you could go just a little wider (maybe an inch or so) but that's about the limit.

Well that makes sense then. What kinda snail(s) are you putting on what kinda block? It sounds like you're shooting for >1000hp if you're looking at a turbo V8.

3.5" is what I recommend and what I have. 4" you end up scrapping the intercooler just trying to place it...
And why the hell would someone want to remove th bumper?!?
Are you guys crazy? I mean, you're using the **** to race, and you're removing the bumper?
Did you know a guy named guitarjunkie28?
And what are you putting out? 700hp? Why do you need the biggest intercooler ever? Leave that **** intact and you might stay intact.
