so far as we know, the top mount replacement we are developing will work on all three vehicles

to be honest a top mount remake would only serve 1 purpose more airspace... is it going to seal like the factory one... if not then it is worse than the stock one... make a fmic costing 1k cough cough cost of material in the 400 range you could buy a honda kit for around 750+/- a few bucks with spearco fmic, pipes, bov, injectors, inj. controller... lucky i can fab everything...lol take about 6hrs or so if all parts were in hand. but good luck with that

yes it will seal as good if not better than the factory one. our SMIC replacement for the mazdaspeed protege gave gains of 20+ hp on a stock vehicle. we fully expect to show gains with a TMIC replacement and will happily dyno it - on an otherwise stock car - to see if there are or not.
i have sold several hundred different styled and branded FMIC kits for $900+ in this market so i am not too worried about, thanks for the well wishing though. there are kits for these vehicles that retail for over $1200. i don't think it needs to be said, this is not the honda market, and manufacturers and resellers do not do nearly enough volume to price like that. this is why for example piston and rod manufacturers charge me twice the cost of you average import piston and rod combo. spearco cores are not nearly all they are cracked up to be, having tested more than a few varieties.
i am glad you can fab your own kits and i totally respect people with that ability. will you also be mandrel bending the aluminum? will you also be temperature and flow testing your setup?

it should also be noted that pricing right now is a guesstimate at best. if i can come in with a high quality product at a better, lower price than that, i will. i'd rather estimate high than low and disappoint people. ask anyone here about my character and credibility. i started here as just another protege owner and I have never been here to gouge or rob my fellow mazda owners.

makes sense but yes flow test is a must i would never use anything but mandrel. funny you ask because some people dont and well enough said...lol i didnt think the tmic would seal thats what i would worry about its nice to get a newer tmic but save the dough and go fmic. im going to have a guy make me a manifold i could but those take alot more time and he has it. alienauto.com lives nearby me. look at his work you wouldnt be dissapointed.Captain KRM P5 said:
im more of aluminum guy and the fmic would take about 4 hrs to fab up get the curves in the shortest route with the least bends and should be alot better than stock. dont know the ic i want to use yet i gotta see what will bolt right up without having to drill holes or anything making brackets are not a prob when ever i get it done i will send you a pic might be a while im busy as crap that dont make me money it costs if it was makin money i wouldnt be here typing...lol

Way to go Ken for pioneering a "mass market" TMIC and FMIC solution.
We should have quite the selection available shortly.

top mount would heat soak easy since its sitting on top of the hot engine, front mount is the way to go on this car. Least on the subarus top mount works because of the boxer config and a hood scoop.

the hood and grille are designed in a way on this car as an air director to help keep things cool, part of the reason for the hood bulge and more open front end.
we'll be testing for heak soak and efficiency loss as well as power gains when the final piece is ready

the TMIC will be a breeze to uninstall/reinstall. the FMIC kit will take some time uninstall/reinstall simply because of the piping involved and the removal of the bumper to mount the intercooler core.
