I know I'm not online too often as of late, but today I did my regular check of prices and sites and stumbled upon Corksport (as always, one of my favorites) and I seen this:

A reasonably priced FMIC that doesn't require you to rape your bumper, looks good as far as I can tell. AND it gives you the stuff for a mini-battery. I hope it performs well too. I'm going to finish up some things so I can buy this kit and be the test mule. I'm happy we just have an alternative outside of Greddy and HKS (with premade units).

Anyhow, what do you all think? Or am I just giddy over a *new* product for our cars?

 

Looks good. But I want a pic with it installed with the stock bumper on, and I want to see under the hood, how the piping is routed.

 

So they took one of those <$100 Made-In-China eBay IC cores and made their own IC kit?
Did you know that GReddy already offers their M-Spec FMIC kit that's about the same price?
Hmm...nothing really to get excited about...

Show me. Supply a link.

 

The one nice thing is that the Corksport kit comes with a shorter battery tray for use with (presumably) and Odessey battery. Which means you don't have to relocate........only buy the multi-hundred dollar battery

 

my brother has one of those cheap china cores in his evo and he says his temps stay a lot colder.

They work. THey are just not light weight aluminum. Thick and heavy if you ask me.

 

yeah, i have that exact core from ebay..

 

the odyssey mini battery is only 80 bucks on ebay.

 

Sic man!

Now rewind time so I can undo my battery re-location haha

 

Don't you wish you had an FD...

Yeah, not for the FC, but it's priced under $500...
*sigh*

This may seem like dumb questions but: Do you have to discard the fiberglass bumper to go front mount? With this kit? If so, are there kits that you don't have to?

Also, by Odessey battery do you mean for a Honda Odyssey?

 

check it.....

I know the Greddy unit can be had for a simular price. But I'm hesitant to go after it because I hear it has issues with the MC, battery, and just plain overall fitment. If the Corksport ones end up being legit, I'll take it for fitment purposes, if the Greddy one remains #1, I'll take that.

The HKS intercooler seems ok, but like everyone else, I usually look at whatever is less expensive at first. I'll see how it goes when that time comes. I just want a setup that fits well, and works.

 

heres a pic with the bumper in place, not stock, but relatively close to it:

why not just buy IC piping and a core off ebay???

 

^^yeah...

 

Because I like bolt in affairs. I don't mind fabricating things, but most of the time the eBay core sucks and the piping can be lame. 95% of the time the 'custom' built setups look like ****.

What's wrong with buying premade kits?

 

Looks like you'll be able to keep the fog lights. I'd like to see pics of the install with the hod open. Want to see how the piping and how the setup is.

 

No, I don't wish I had an FD, a cheap intercooler, wow, too bad everything else is made of platinum.

Still waiting for the Greddy M-Spec Intercooler for the FC link.

 

nuthing's wrong with premade kits. im trying a new setup, well...its not new and i didnt think of it but i like it!!!
