i am learning that putting a fmic almost automatically gives you heat probs.. my idea.. with custom piping, could you mount one stock under each headlamp ?
this seems like a good idea but no one ever posted it.. basically..

turbo, to left headlamp tmic, to right headlamptmic , to intake..

i noticed if a person was to plug the extra holes and take off the heat shield you could spin the one tmic to line up with a straight pipe the the other one..

just a thought.. theorys would be apprecitated

installing, mounting them to me is not the issue, just function.

thanks

You add a lot of added pipe "unnecessarily", which adds to turbo lag unless we're talking about a really big turbo.

I doubt it's a big turbo, as this implies lots of money.
If you had a lot of money, you wouldn't be worried about an FMIC.

Installing them is the issure. For starters running two seperate intercoolers in series should not even be considered due to the excessive pressure drop caused by four end-tanks and the very long air path. To run them in parallel you'd need to run two seperate pairs of pipes in and out of the engine bay, and it's hard enough to run one pair. Then you'd have to actually find room for them under the headlights and get enough air to them.

In theory paralleled intercoolers could work okay if installed and piped properly, but the benefits (if any) don't really justify the considerable amount of work that'd be required to make it work right. There are easier ways to solve cooling issues.

 

If you want to run two stock intercoolers you should weld them together in parallel(sp) like higgi did.

dang! its sounds like a goood idea in my head!

rx7 turbo_2 has a fluidyne rad and an fmic, with a big *** turbo.. like a t-78 or something and his temp goes out of joint every once and a while.. same with ChrisNg. they also metion though that flipin the hood scoop around might help..

thanks for your opinions.. prolly better just to buy a kit and deal with it!
