Never got a chance to say: glad your OK!! Is there any new info on this thing?? Thanks for the pics. Is it just me or is that thing a lot thicker?

 

[Albert]

Is this the new Mazdaspeed one, or another one coming out?

 

[Striker187]

yeah it looks a lot thicker than the stock one.....and it better be!!! cause it looks like the same size length and height wise. plus aluminum end tanks (i asuume). looking good and this will be under the full factory warranty correct? i wonder if mazdaspeed also increased the efficiency of the ic? in any case, at least it's a step in the right direction.

it seems a bit small, but im not too good with intercoolers and those pics are a bit too close...but is it about 1/2 size of a fmic?

 

[Striker187]

depends on how big of an fmic you're talking about. skyline ic's are huge.

 

[TitaniumSpeed]

Is that you razor???....nice sig! Yes it is much smaller than a FMIC but if the efficiency is up compared to stock (much thicker, better internals, aluminum endtanks), then we can utilize the stock position, maintain our warranty (hopefully), and have some better performance!

thats me!

is this rumored to be a mazdaspeed part we can buy, or a TSB replacing the stock IC for some reason? or neither, and it just happened to be on the prototype car that was testing the new ECU?

 

[ARunto]

i hope they make them

 

[Dr.Sound]

.............and it just happened to be on the prototype car that was testing the new ECU?

[Dr.Sound]

It won't be a TSB because there is nothing technically wrong with our IC. It's just a piece of crap.

TSB 327318:
Intercooler Replacement
Some Mazdaspeed Proteges in the 2003-2003.5 model year were mistakingly shipped with some dog excriment, instead of an intercooler. This TSB replaces this canine excriment with a real functioning performance enhancing intercooler.

I drove this car. It was amazing. Nuff Said

 

[slug420]

what else does it have? besides IC and new ECU?

 

[SpicyMSP]

downpipe, exhaust.. flash, and tuned. Still runs stock boost though. Oh and body braces

 

[jrod1019]

how long before this part would be availible,and much could it cost? i wonder how much better a fmic like ions would be?
