Looks good, I wish they would have made a FMIC. Let the JDM Fanatics go crazy

Renesis8 said:I think how mazda route air to the intercooler works fine, its just like a hood scoop under the hood... however.. that air has to go somewhere, and the set up on the ms6 has no room for it to vent out or go further away from the intercooler
adrock3217 said:Seriously, without any form of a high-pressure area hoodscoop, there isn't really a point in upgrading the stock TMIC. Either go front-mount, or get a hood with a (insulated) hood scoop over the intercooler. I don't care WHAT kind of "hood scoop under the hood" Mazda has come up with, the fact is that the path of least resistance will mostly be AROUND the intercooler, and a vast majority of the air will be bypassing it.
Also, in low-speed driving, idle, etc., this setup is really bad. The heat will be rising to, you guessed it, the intercooler! Not to mention, this "hood scoop under the hood" will not be functioning...*at all* under around 30-40mph. Before that, there is not enough pressure at the nose of the car to benefit the intercooler..at all. A hood scoop would work wonders here, as there would always be a fresh supply of air right above the intercooler, so it wouldn't heat soak *as bad*, but it still would a lot.
Front mount or go home! :-O

Also i think a hood scoop would be less efficiant then the front vents that direct right onto the FMIC, a hood scoop you would loose most of your force and would have to have a dip and a taller lip to even catch any air
The vent in grill design works well to blow a good amount of air into the hood ducting system
So it gives 14.3ps of HP increase?
