7 Weeks and still waiting on ETS topmount

[dougefresh_]

As of Tommorrow the 28th It will be 7 weeks of me waitin on my ETS top mount from Backorder.

I hope its worth it.. Whats the average wait time you guys know

That sucks... I hate waiting for parts. It beats waiting for a hpfp for 6 weeks like me though, and not being able to drive your car at all during that time. My CPE pump finally shipped Friday, and should be here Weds.

Good luck, and I hope the ETS comes soon!

Yea that sucks man.. Im gonna get that pump but im gonna go ahead and get a spare so I will still have my stock one just in case.

I hope it comes soon too

that sucks man. i'm sure that if you wanted to cancel your order you could always do a charge-back on your account, since you paid for something you never received...

Yea but since I have waited so long might as well wait some more.. Will give them a couple more weeks

you should really Never order direct from almost any Mfgr. most big to midize companies arent set-up for single piece sales.. thats why you go through SU or PG.. thats also why you can get better deals buying from a secondary dealer.. they help manage with sales and ensure you get your products in a timely manner.. honestly, id start calling Ets.. even if these are made to order this shouldnt take more than a couple weeks. your order is most likely misplaced or sitting on a shelf.. probably lost by some poorly paid "guy"

i ordered this part through Pro-garage and it came in about a week.. and, yeah you should probably cancel your order and just buy this part used.. they dont really brake down or get worn much.. so if you can find an honest seller id go used.. you shouldnt be forced to wait this long..

Well We contacted them and they told me it will be here in two weeks and that they upgraded my shipping to 3 day for free for me.

So will see they said it should be here by thursday or friday not this next week but the next.

Any luck yet? I assume not, or we would have heard, but I wanna see it! I bet it looks awesome in the anodized black.

LOL your BAT's will still be in the 140's and ive even seen near 200 BAT's with an ETS top mount sitting in traffic.. FAIL. FMIC FTW and there are setups out their that are cheaper then a ETS and if you had ordered a FMIC 7 weeks ago you wouldve been enjoying it already.

Yea FMIC is better for intake air temps. But it also blocks flow to the radiator etc. Not much difference maybe regarding that but I know FMIC is whats required for MAJOR MAJOR POWER..

My Top mount worked fine on my FC put down 290hp with street port and a t04 at around 9 psi. Car ran good and the boost response was great. I switched to the Front mount Greddy on my FC and the lag was pretty noticeable. I never dynoed it again with the front mount so I dont know the power gain or loss. But it felt slower to me maybe because it did not respond as quick..

I just have so much invested in other parts that I would lose with a Front mount conversion.

True statement about sitting in traffic, but WTF? The (Speed6) engine really doesn't care about BATs when sitting in traffic idling. The BATs are the SAME when the car is moving and last I knew, cars are for driving, not for sitting, so the actual on-road PERFORMANCE is NO DIFFERENCE.

Also when (Speed6) strapped to a stationary dyno the FMIC will also likely produce a higher number, UNLESS the dyno facility is equiped with proper fans to simulate the on-road airflow, but last I knew cars are for driving, not for sitting on a dyno, so the actual on-road PERFORMANCE is NO DIFFERENCE.

Now, the Suby TMIC installation with a hood-mounted scoop IS a POS and has been proven to reverse airflow at speed and actually force the air OUT through the TMIC due to the relative low pressure in the center of the hood as compared to the impact air flowing through the grill area. In the Suby case, a FMIC is WAY better.

FYI, check out the new Speed3 hood scoop version TMIC and you will see that Mazda knew about the reverse flow phenomenon and cut NUMEROUS vent holes into the TMIC shroud under the hood to let the air OUT through the hood scoop at speed without forcing it back through the TMIC....

Whereas FMIC are just as functional as a good TMIC, I think the REAL reason for a big FMIC is the ricer/mod factor. I equate the overwhelming urge for a big FMIC with the huge tires/wheels/jacked-up pickup trucks driven by big guys with tiny penises to the bar and by their girlfriends to the 7-11 for more beer....

YMMV

easy TMIC fanboy. can you provide a dyno sheet where a car with the same amount of mods FMIC vs TMIC performed better on a dyno or at the race track.

a FMIC will net higher numbers on a dyno, and better overall performance on the road hands down on a daily basis..

Ive NEVER seen BAT's higher then 110 degrees since i put my FMIC on, can your TMIC do that..

so im gonna put an ETS Top Mount intercooler on my car with my GTK-500 Turbo and net the same numbers as i would with a 4 inch FMIC core. NO.

is the ETS TMIC rated for 30psi.NO.

am i a ricer for doing a FMIC. NO.

you fail dude

Cp-e did a full investigation into this very issue, and FMIC won hands down for better thermal efficiency, pressure drop, heat soak, and thermal response on the road and dyno. and they even released a 10 page document about it.

KrGsMrNKusinagi sorry for crapping up your thread alittle, i totally understand why you wanna stay TMIC , considering you have the AutoX coldpipe and what not.

Well "dude", without going into all the details of exactly WHY, you're the one full of "FAIL" and the fanboi here. Did you actually read any of the CPE data? They tested a STOCK TMIC against their "super special" (as all CPE products are... yeah, right) FMIC. I won't dispute their data, but even an IDIOT could see that their "test" was marketing hype to sell their product over the OEM TMIC.

Go and do some independant research on what I've posted along with some real-world testing for yourself and you will see I'm fully correct. Also swing by your local Mazda dealer and check out the new Speed3 TMIC config.

(hand) cp-e is the only company currently pushing over 430whp on the MZR..

and cageyvet's MS3 pushed 573 whp the other day.. (thumb)

their the only company that has stuck with this community through good and bad and never once caused a fight.

they are the reason other compnanies started developing products similar to theres

there fuel pumps never failed.

there tunes are the best on the market hands down over any other tuning software for our cars, and i for one had the AP for a long time.

they are the first company to start developing products for our cars and the reason why have any products at all today, including most of your mods, and mine as well.

(attention)

Wow, fanboi much? I'll refrain from disputing several of your statements, but simply ask: and what does ANY of this have to do with the FMIC vs TMIC debate???

 

[BoostedSpd6]

you know what just to prove that im right, im going to buy an ETS Top Mount, probably wait a year but its well worth it and throw it on my car, run it on a dyno, run it on the street in cold and hot conditions, providing logs the whole time, and then do a side by side comparison of all the data TMIC vs FMIC and show your dumbass that on a Daily Basis FMIC wins..

ill probably blow out the welds on the endtanks before too long with 30psi running through the ETS.

Hmmm? My "ass" really can't see whatever it is that you want to show it, but otherwise go for it.

 

[wannabe]

guys knock it off. I'll challenge you each to do some research with real world numbers and post them in your own threads about TMIC vs FMIC. stop the pissing contest and leave this thread alone.

will do sir.. plan on doing a full investigation into this issue as cp-e did.. but instead of the stocker im going to use the ETS as my test subject vs. a good FMIC core.

just wish i could get my hands on a ETS sooner...

 

[KrGsMrNKusinagi]

I know that if you want large numbers you will go Front mount. I dont want large numbers Im happy with 290-350 wheel power. I know you can because i got 290 wheel power on the Stock FC top mount on an 87 Rx7.

I just want to maintain a decent throtle response I dont care about making huge numbers. And in the end it came down to what I spent on the other mods. Should I just throw away the hundreads thousands of dollars just for a front mount when im not gonna get a get a turbo that requires it fully.

 

[KrGsMrNKusinagi]

Update... My Intercooler is on its way says it will be delivered on the 27th which is this Friday.

I have the UPS tracking and everything

its about time they sent it out to you!!
