CX Racing FMIC

[bova80]

I have a FMIC and never see high engine temps unless sitting in traffic. But thats only because Mazda has the ecu set to kick the fan on at 215 degrees. With the new version of ATR you can set it to come on when you want, I changed it down to 190. As for lag, you won't notice it, the small turbo spools up so quickly anyways. My intercooler is even bigger then the cxracing one as it sits behind the crash bar.

this isn't my car, but i have the corksport fmic and this is how it sits, yeah people say well how can it be efficient behind the crash bar like that, well i've never had a problem with it at all and boost temps always drop fast.

this is my car and how it looks

boost temps will drop pretty mych no matter what ic you have because the air is moving faster into the intake and through the rest of the system. Since i doubt anyone is driving where boost air temps are cooler then ambiant temps this would be the only circumstance when they would rise right off the bat.

I agree that having it partially covered will not create much difference in terms of cooling but without a doubt there are some degrees of added cooling to be had by not having it covered.

Lol i could tell it was not your car right off the bat because of the silver eyelids hahah. (breakn)

i would love to see back to back datalogs or dyno runs. between aftermarket tmic and an custom fmic.

never the less. what you guys got goin looks good. i'm just still trying to figure out if its actually worth it.

you took the words right out of my mouth, and imo thats what i want my fmic to appear like from the front, without extra notching and such.

Oh it is. I would love to say that the difference is night and day, but it all depends on your tuning once you get the FMIC. I can definitely feel the power difference though.

bova ur FMIC is all custom right? you dont have happen to have a list or a DIY for the parts like boosted did awhile back do u? if so please message me D thx

Edit: Jk read your post about the corksport fmic, but i know a couple of people have done custome kits and am curious if anyone does have a parts list they have built. So if you do msg me as well. kthxbye

How do you wanna lay it out? You willing to move your washer bottle or not? Do you already have an intake? Do you have access to a welder or can you weld?

no, no, and no. for me. i really would much rather piece a kit together for some reason, the diy nut in me want to piece one together haha

So, you've had your car tuned. You don't have a sig with mods so i'm not sure what else you've done.

No matters, I've gone off the topic of this thread.

Well, I had the car tuned with a Cobb AP, but never adjusted it for the FMIC. I am trying to get my finances together so I can find a SB instead.

 

[Mistersix]

A certified "Cobb tuner" and a dyno could get you tuned up. Have you tried that webpage with all the free cobb maps on it. Im sure theres some FMIC ones.

Don't get me wrong, I knew/know of those maps and all, it's just that I sold the AP around the time that I was installing the FMIC. That's all.

Yeah to me

Lol but yeah I do currently have a Fujita CAI, but am going to change soon to either a cobb SF or a custom intake once I do my FMIC system. What I would like to do while I am building the FMIC would be to change over to a blow-through setup at the same time, so that way I could do all of the work at once instead of just getting the FMIC now and switching to the blow-thru later.

Good info in this thread.I'm going to order mine soon.

SO if I wanted a 6 inch tall core, inlet outlet on 1 side, I would probably have to do a custom build?

I would think so. Corksport has a kit like that, but has a 10in tall core. Why are you looking for the inlet and outlet on the same side? Is it to keep the Windshield washer tank? If that's the case, why not just relocate it to the other side of the car using a Honda Civic unit?

Yeah that was the case. However now that you have provided a relocation spot that is fine with me! I would rather build my own kit. I'd like to stick with the 6" so I don't have to cut the mesh or crash bar. Now I just need to ask around for a parts list.

buy the CX racing core and then ebay piping, if your not comfurtable with the welds then have them re welded else where.. im thinking of going that way..maybe

Just checked out the Altered Customs kit. Good price, with everything I want!
