Front mount intercooler
What is a good Front mount intercooler that would fit in our 3rd gen stock bumper???
|
Are you still on your stock twins, single, what?
Have you considered a vmount or maybe a stock mount? |
No i have a fluidyne and it is fitted like stock right now and yes I have the 99 twins and looking forward to getting a front mount but I still have the stock bumper. Is Greddy a good front mount for stock bumper?
|
Greddy 2 row is your best bet.
|
Blitz FMIC is one of the easiest and can be installed without removing the front bumper.
|
Apex FMIC just cause it rocks. And that's what i ordered.

You have to cut about 2 inches of the bumper if you go with a greddy 2 row.

This supports the Apex fmic, no custom fabrication required. Period. |

Just searching for the same question and i was wondering how well the 3row fits the stock bumper 1reven3rdgen you have to cut about 2inches for the row how much more for the 3row
|
The Apexi fits perfect behind the bumper but I did do custom modification for the radiator to slant it at 45^ angle. The Blitz kit allready mounts the radiator at an angle. I did not like my radiator being too low as per the Apexi instructions.
|
For the price the Greddy is the way to go. Both the BLitz and Apexi are overpriced, but very nice setups.

So the blitz FMIC is a straight drop in? it doesnt require no bumper mods?
|
What about 3 row????
how much are they running for?? |
Blitz.
Battery size/location is the only problem IIRC... |

The 3 row fits identical to the 2 row but is an inch thicker in the rear. The radiator is mounted vertical behind the intercooler.

It does not require you to cut the bumper.

Jason, i'm getting most of my shit through you, so should i just throw a new bumper on the tab? I would like to get one that alows more air but i like the look of the stock one with the lip i have.
|
You dont have to do a new bumper, but a larger opening will always help.

blitz fmic is a great unit. i looked for a long time between fmic and smic. i found that the blitz is the best all around. it was pretty simple to install ( no need to remove or cut bumper ), gives much better flow to the radiator than most all fmic's ( which is VERY important ). the only drawback is the battery, i used a miata battery which fit perfect.

Anyone have a good techniuqe on hacking up the pumper. I'v put a froknt mount on my budys car and i used a fine toothed blade on a sawzall then a power sander to clean it up.
|
When is a FMIC necessary? It's going to rob a lot of airflow to your Fluidyne which is never a good thing for engine/coolant temps....
Could an upgraded SMIC suffice most HP ranges? |
Depends on what that rang is. I would just go with a smic if your going to stay under 320hp and if you do alot of track driving. But if you do alot of drag with a little more hp then go with the fmic, it doesn't heat soak as much.
|
I have the blitz fmic. I have not been able to run the car with it installed yet. It was a straight forward install. The only problem i had was that mine was a r2 so it has dual oil coolers. You have to bend the oil pipe kinda hard. If you want to see pics go to
