Custom FMIC pics
 
Hi. For you that have read my fmic questions i have asked since mars, here is the result.

I have just got the IC so it is not in the car yet, pics of that will come to, just wait.

What do you think of it? will it do?
the meashures is 28"*7"*5.5".

gzon 06-25-02 12:53 PM

gzon 06-25-02 12:54 PM

gzon 06-25-02 12:55 PM

Looks really nice. Are you going to be making them or just that one for yourself?

Brad 06-25-02 01:26 PM

holy shit that thing is THICK as hell!!!!

Looks pretty cool, it isn’t as distinguishable like other FMIC's with that black core. Unique. Maybe someone will sleep on it thinking its a stock 7. :D

Very well made Kudo's:bigthumb: you will drop temps like a rock with that thing and the black core is awsome.
just one question you did not get it painted or powder coated as that will screw up the cooling efforts of the I/C

Damn, next to the stock, that shit is badass! Man I envy you :bigthumb:

lawn boy 06-25-02 05:11 PM

wow...thats a lotta custom stuff :eek:

gzon 06-25-02 06:16 PM

I have a friend who has made it for me. The thing I like the most is that I dont have to cut in the front, any frames or anything.

The Core is black from the beginning, I am thinking about painting it bright silver though.

lawn boy: Custom is cheaper and I hope also better, well se about that. :)

hmmm... i dunno how ur gonna pull off installin that thing without cutting out some serious frame of off your frontend. i just installed my rx7fashion front mount and i had to cut out alot. pressure drop is also gonna be a very serious factor for you if you plan on keepin the twins... good luck and nice job

GsrSol 06-26-02 12:32 AM

That is one thick i/c!!!

Don't paint it! It will be alot harder for the fins to cool the air.

KibagamiR2 06-26-02 02:34 AM

Yes.... do not paint it...
Is the core painted, powder coated or anodized? If anodized black.. that is fine and won't affect cooling.

Pressuredrop cause of the size?

I used an other IC last week and got a drop at 2psi. Its the black one at this pic, the in and outlet are bad and small, but it uses a HKS core.

Will even a thin layer paint affect?

Prepare to cut the hell out of your bumper and rebar. :)

Jason

jspecracer7 06-26-02 08:55 AM

That has to be the thickest core I've ever seen...

RX7_Fast_Lane 06-26-02 09:01 AM

nice handiwork

RecKleSs 06-26-02 09:08 AM

That is a really sweet ic.

gzon 06-26-02 10:49 AM

Thaks for you comments :)

Jason: No its made to fit without cutting. but I will put it in tonight to se that all my meashurements are right.

Redrotor 06-27-02 12:22 AM

Please don't paint it and keep posting installation pictures so I can make my own too.
