fmic vs. upgraded tmic vs. stock tmic

[R3B]

was wondering if anyone had/knew the power gains from upgrading to either an aftermarket tmic like street units or a fmic like cobbs.

was looking to buy one so would really like some good info or suggestions thanks.

I'm in the process of looking for an aftermarket TMIC. Less install work and stock location!

I know the FMIC is more efficient where it is mounted, but I feel safer with the IC up top. Too exposed for me. Maybe a scooped hood will be the way to go.

i have the ets 3.25 incher. it was the second mod i did after an intake, and it made a very nice difference in overall acceleration. it will still heatsoak like any tmic but sheds heat way faster than the stock unit.

i did a lil test before i install the ets. i fired the car up and let it warm up to idle and touched the IC and it was pretty dam hot. blasted down the street jumped out and it had cooled a lil but still hot to the touch.

after i installed the ets i did the exact same thing. after the car had warmed up the IC was hot to the touch. blasted down the road to the same spot and pullled over to check it and it was actually cool to the touch. seriously, i was shocked. i expected it to be cooler and shed heat faster than the stock unit but not that much.

i've even pulled over to show my freinds and at first they'd be afraid to touch it thinkin its real hot, then they do and they are equally impressed.

its absolutely a worthy investment from a performance stand point.

Yes, it would replace your SRI.


I'm getting my ETS 3.25 TMIC in a week or so. I can't wait to feel the gains(burnout)

No one is bringing up cp-e's fmic? i was hoping to hear some info on that one. or at least compared.

 

[mattj3636]

the core isnt center, looks crappy. haha

 

[R3B]

ughh i like the corksport but i dont wanna get rid of my cobb sri.. can i just not put on the ramair or is it like mixed it with the whole system?

TRZ TMIC with (C02, Meth, N02) ports with internal cooling coils

 

[mattj3636]

u dont have to do the ram air, but ur paying for it and the filter, you know, but u dont have to, just hook up ur SRI to the provided inlet

 

[R3B]

and thats another thing i have a cobb turbo inlet as well would i have to get rid of that or does anyone know if i could run it with the fmic so i can run fill recirc because i was reading u cant fun full recirc with the corksport system?

 

[mattj3636]

the first gen kit you couldnt, aka what i have.. but they give you a choice now, but if u have the inlet already, why do you like the corksport kit so much? i preferred the corksport for the fitment (fit perfectly) and cause it came with the intake adn inlet. which was huuuuuuge.

but if u already have both intake and inlet.. why not get turboxs or something?

What about exhaust depot? It's only $750 now. Does anyone have it on their car? Any feedback on exhaust depot fmic would be great.

I didnt know that TRZ ever brought there TMIC to production. i knew that tru boost was running the prototype but he was selling it so......i was under the impression that they had dumped the idea.

Yes, it would replace your SRI.

Where did you order from?

PG is telling me it is going to be on back order for anther 6 more weeks!!!

I ordered May 22

FMIC. Harder to install, but worth every minute of it. Almost impossible to heatsoak, improved throttle response and obviously way more torque with the cooler air.

no point. just buy their piping kit for 300 and buy a CXracing or godspeed core off ebay between 90-120 bucks.

thats what im doing.

im not paying extra for a completed kit when i can pay a lowerprice and buy it in two pieces
