FC Drift car with FD 13BTT

Wow... the 13b-rew swap is impressive; I'd heard it was impossible, or at least unfeasible.
The question, though, is why someone went to all the trouble to do that swap, only to attach a mushroom-head style filter in such a godawful location to suck hot air?

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
+1 - not to mention IT'S NOT AN REW!!!! It's an S6 UIM - even less impressive. I think the only way for that car to be impressive would be the SGMW
(Sunroof Gimbal Mount Wing) Other wise like Phoenix said - lame

I'm gonna have to agree with TitaniumTT on this one. You will see no noticable effects of downforce at even 60-70mph, especially sideways. The wing is completely unnecessary.

Smells like 2 stroke.
If I had a car that looked like that... I'd strip the body of all it's fancy moldings, sell them on ebay with the wheels and the wing, get some better wheels with the money from the others, go back to stock body moldings, paint it black, and be glad my car didn't look gay.
...Nice engine though...

I don't see the point of having a VMIC without some sort of venting. At least with an FMIC, some of that moving air exits from underneath the car.

Hyper black is the most black you can get. It's far darker then regular black, and darker even then Mega Black because it's hyper....In fact, it's even more black then super-happy-honourable-JDM-drift-spec-m@d b1@ck yo!

only if it's the JDM-Drift hyper black is it the good black
Like these....... If only they were the hyper black floor mats they would be the ultimate jdm drift floor mats
& yes I know about the actual JDM'edness of these so please don't point it out. I love the 7 pages of crap that comes up on e-bay when you search for jdm drift. Makes me sick

care to explain that statement eg:context and examples.. ??
From an flow point of view that wing is in clean air at ANY speed and as long as the actual airfoil shape of the wing provides lift, then it DOES to it's job.
and check the post... before posting it..
That's got to be a promotional car, wheel setup, the aero parts to cause downforce.. the lack of roper ducting for the V mount.. that or some clown is getting ready to fail miserably in a drift comp.

um . no.
the extreme low pressure over the hood creates a very nice air draw, PROVIDED you have a proper evacuation setup, venting the V mount under the hood only causes back pressuring and reduces flow through the IC.. the difference IS dramatic.

"Hyper" black?!
A V-mount doesn't need a vented hood to work as long as there's sufficient clearance above the IC, which it look like there is. The air simply passes through the engine bay just like it would with a TMIC or FMIC. You still get the benefits of short pipe runs and not blocking the other heat exchangers. A vented hood would make it work better, but not dramatically so.
The number of turbos has nothing to do with anything.

Then the air flow over our car is vastly different then mine.
It has nothing to what flow is available, it has to do with how efficiently it is utilized. With regards to a V mount, a sealed hood is less efficient then a hood that is properly ducted.

The low pressure is far from extreme; only a few hundredths of a psi below atmospheric.
It's absolutely no different to a TMIC or FMIC, or even the radiator, A/C condenser and oil cooler for that matter. The same amount of air is flowing in through the nose and out through the engine bay regardless.
