5.5" Fmic
Hi all , Let me start by saying that I AM aware of the cooling problems FD's run into when a thick FMIC is placed in front of the car/rad , but I have "upgraded " my cooling system (EWP and ducted tripple pass koyo N flow) and am now able to use a 4" thick FMIC without any problems ! I am in the process of redoing my set up and I'm thinking a bigger IC would be good . I came across a sweet 5.5"X 12" X 24 ",1000 hp supporting (?) FMIC on ebay . Has anyone attempted anything like this on a street car ? if so please post .

I am by no means an intercooler expert... but I think selecting in intercooler based on performance would yield better results then just slapping the largest intercooler possible on... you may see a slight reduction in temps in the core... but i think trying to fill that much volume will create a bit of lag in throttle response. Unless of course your pump is pushing that much air. An efficient intercooler will cool the most with the least amount of pressure drop

I will be running a GT45R and as I stated before , I run a 4" without any temperature issues , I am also in the process of stepping up my oil coolers to either Setrab or Mocal 25 row units.
The main reason I am thinking about swapping is the extra flow capacity presented by the 5.5" core , it also uses 3.5" in/out connectors , my GT45 discharge is 3.5" and so is my new throttle body hat.
Heres the link to it , http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=140129873361
