Beau,

I think that it is awesome that you are actually willing to take the time to read the info on the sites and respond with your own thoughts on the issue at hand. It is not often that I have seen a vendor willing to take time out of their busy schedule to do this. The fact that you are willing to make this effort makes me appreciate the products that you produce even that much more. You are always willing to take time to educate us heathens and for that I am grateful. Keep up the good work B.

R

P.S. I'm anxiously awaiting the scientific discussion that will follow.

I know a number of people who have used intercoolers from these guys. They seem to be pretty decent quality product.

Thanks and I look forward to the read.(cool)

I have 4 magazines back from when Turbo did a Turbo Tech blitzkrieg. This will explain everything to you. Next meet I'll bring them to you to read.

Wait a minute. I just checked that link out, and the FMIC looks like a "bar and plate" to me. They also say this about the size:

"Core size: 25 wide X 5.875 tall X 2.75 deep

Overall: 30 from outside of end tank to outside of end tank X 6.5 tall X 3.125 at the thickest "

Is everyone else looking at something else?​

I am still reading the first link.So far IMO it's good info.Please be patient while I read the rest and then the other link.Time is very limited for me right now.

I was just referring to this comment:

That looks like a 24" overall.24" core alone will look like this:Overall our intercooler measures 33"Have you had a chance to see what your intake air temps are?

I was basically commenting on the discrempancies between the original posted link and the continuing conversation. I figured I missed something since you talked about a 24" end-to-end FMIC when the the link had 25" core and 30" endtank-to-endtank listed at the top.

no problem, Please take your time!!! Your business and family come first!!! I'm just happy with the fact your actually taking on this pain in the ass task of educating the newbies like me. It can drive a newbie nuts trying to research and understand what all of this means and then we don't have the how it happens in the real world experience, either...

 

[projektmsp]

why you looking at the 6" one and not the 8" one?

I think that the support needs to be removed to fit something as large as an 8" (ask azian6er).

 

[Notorious_V.I.C]

i like this thread, I want to get the best deal on a FMIC or SMIC kit thats resonable......bump

I can wait....

 

[JDM Sam]

Tube and fin are prone to boost leak more than bar and plate. They are also weaker structurally so if you hit a few rocks it could puncture the I/C. Also the fins can expand and you get more pressure drop. For a FMIC a bar and plate core is a better choice for reliability and durability.

not really sure of why you would want your protege to be a "sleeper"... i agree however that theres no reason to flaunt the fact you have a turbo kit. by an intercooler that is big enough to cool your turbo not to fit the hole in your bumper. on a GT30, yea go with the big ass mam intercooler, if you are all out on performance and feeling like bolting up a GT35 for the hell of it, i say cut the bumper and stuff a larger intercooler. hell check out dado's m3 on dtmpower.net. granted his bumper looks ghetto as s*** but it gets the job done like an intercooler should. i don't see that painting your intercooler core would help the fins get as much cold air as possible. seems as though its just another thing for the air to have to go through. eh to each his own.

im pretty sure people tested paint and found that it doesnt affect temps. i think it was in scc and the testing done by garret

Depends on the paint though. You don't want to cover the entire core in normal spraypaint. Go with something like swaintech or similar radiator paint and you will be fine.

[MP3skaterNC]
