Mazdaspeed6 FMIC Kit Ready To Go!!!

[Mutmatt]

The core will be made to fit every part of the bumper without cutting there for with end tanks it is an EXTREMELY tight fit! This is a custom core by BEGi which is also why you can't find exact specs... there will be dynos of before and after.

Let me just say this if it comes in under $1100 this will work. But there needs to be dyno sheets and proof that the car can make 300+HP or this kit is no good on the market.

we fully plan on before and after dynos at stock boost. if the customer wishes to increase the boost therafter and have us dyno the car then we will do it. you could make 300hp on the stock TMIC according to my own research. making that number on this unit while retaining proper air temps, pressure rates and flow rates should not be an issue.

i cannot stress this enough - there is alot more to the numbers game than having a big core. i would - and have - pitted my old BEGi SMIC setup with a T3 against another car with a MAM manifold, upgraded turbo and iON fmic and mine came out on top in pretty much every category and at lower boost. does that mean my SMIC is automatically better? no. does it dispel the myth that an intercooler makes the most difference based on size alone? yes.

different vehicle example - my brother put a custom fmic on his mazdaspeed miata this past week. as many of you know, one can easily trim the stock hardpipes on that car and put in a wider/taller/thicker core and call it a day. he bought a high quality, high dollar, bar and plate core with gorgeous endtanks and thick flow paths, not some ebay knockoff. not only is his car not performing any better, but real world tests show it to be performing worse than the paltry core mazda saw fit to give the car from the showroom.

yes thats an apples to oranges comparison, but its also an apples to oranges comparison to say that the larger the core, the better off you will be. we proved years ago that the BEGi fmic for the msp, despite the smaller core, performed better than the other fmic solutions out there in terms of sheer scientifics. road evidence continues to uphold that to this day. i have numerous customers who bought one of those kits and raves how much better their vehicle performs side by side with a competitor's kit equipped msp.

this is an expensive project that has taken months to reach fruition, out of my own pocket. we realize for any customers that this kit will be a major investment and since it is a major expense for us and the customer, we will not accept anything less than a complete package that performs good from EVERY aspect.

Thanks for setting the record straight on this. Sucks about your brother's MX-5.. but the new FMIC sure does look puurty

it looks awesome and mounted up awesome. i will say that once he plays with the boost settings and grabs an intake (intakes do a world of good for those cars) i am sure the benefits of that IC will make themselves better known. that goes right back to my point of the overall package and not the singular piece doing its job.

Sounds good Ken! I would expect nothing but the best from you. I never doubted your had work and research, I was just curious as to how well that setup would perform. Like I said before, I know that core size is not everything, I was just wondering how effecient the intercooler you chose could really be... I was looking at CFM rating, but since I dont know anything about the MS6 turbo, and since this is a custom core from Begi, it is nearly impossible for me to "calculate" performance... Once again, sorry if I put a damper on this thread. I know and trust that you will only bring quality parts to the table.

very very true. I have a msp begi kit from ken on my msp and outperform other msps with different (bigger) cores. Even though its not huge the core is designed to flow extremely efficiently. (first)

 

[Rawyzf]

Can't wait for the numbers!

 

[JokerFMJ]

Any final pricing numbers yet? Dyno results?

------------------------------

Nevermind, my bad, was thinking this was posted last week not this week. =D

 

[Captain KRM P5]

pricing we are planning as such;

$1199 with the GReddy RS Blow Off Valve and Re-circ Adaptor
$899 using stock Mazdaspeed bypass valve

keep in mind, this is PRELIMINARY prices subject to change

 

[Mutmatt]

I just recieved the CFM specs from BEGi on the custom intercooler we have in the works for this and the total CFM is a whopping 675 CFM... AMAZING numbers for the "small" intercooler

yeah that's why I wanted the BEGi MSP fmic kit.. but the hiboost will have to do for now. BEGi seems to make nice stuff!

hells yea , the begi kit owns but it has the strangest looking endtanks. I used to hate how the look but now I really like it...

trade for my hiboost with custom piping (fits with p5 radiator) ??

 

[Rainman]

Nice price for a great looking product. We just need to see the dyno numbers baby! Also waiting for the TMIC numbers too.


And for the good of everyone lets all keep this civil (not intended to centre out anyone).

Went and looked at the car today, it looks great with the endtanks on! I cant wait for this to be done, Ill post some pics when Im not so lazy.

Here ya go:

Lookin good so far (thumb)

...thats a tall core.

 

[maestro]

lookin for updates.

hopefully that should render moot some of the 'small' comments(enguard)
