FMIC setup

I was wondering what size npr i should run on my turbo II? And the year? Im trying to figure out if i should go big or small npr and wut the year is that they go by. I just basically am wondering the specifics and oppinions on which sized you guys like to use. Also wut psi these things can compensate for. I did search but didnt find much on these specifics. Only npr for sale and stuff like that. SO if anyone can help me, id greatly appreciate it.

mods?
boost?
car year?
your experience with cars?

nobody is going to be able to tell you what size intercooler you need if you don't give any info. If you are looking for someone to just tell you what to buy then just get the big one, it leaves room for running higher boost and higher hp numbers.

Wow, they'll fit on Miatas? I'd like to see that actually. not doubting it, but that IC would look MASSIVE on that lil miata. Anyhow, wouldnt a large be too much intercooler anyways for any turbo an FC would use. I can understand T78 land. But seems to me T04's, especially stock turbos, wouldnt work worth crap breathing through that big an intercooler. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thats a personal good friends car. When you put the front air damn back on the car, the bottom of it doesnt pop out at all.

I dont know if its too big...I think I actually remember someone running one in their car a long time ago.

All I know is common sense would tell me that if it can fit in a Miata, it could fit in an RX.








Common sense has been wrong though

I thought the large units were like 30in wide? Youd have to do a lot of cutting to make one of those fit, or remove the bumper support.
