Nice, but you get that off a miata turbo kit? Core could be a little bigger

 

[jlocurto]

eh yeah i thought it was a little small too but the core is good for 400 hp, thats good enough for me

atleast you will have little to no lag just like the TMIC

Personally I don't see the benefit a core this small would have vs. a bigger TMIC, especially when it's partially blocked by the license plate. Just my opinion.

Cool. Look like the ATP kit too.

 

[jlocurto]

well im obv gonna move that plate as soon as i can

 

[Wagonbacker9]

don't let em get to ya... I got flamed for putting in a smaller core too... bigger isn't always better.

YAY another orange county ny guy.
Looks good. Listen to wagonbaker. Bigger isn't always better. Bigger TMIC would give you the same results, but not after continous hard driving.

That's what I thought when I first saw the pictures.

The front license plate doesn't block it that much. The intercooler in the front allows for consistent air flowing to it. And at a stop, the TMIC would sit in heat until the car starts moving.

how does the car feel?

 

[jlocurto]

thecar feels great, i dont really feel turbo lag, the piping is 2.25 and 2.5. sounds different tooo i like it overall

 

[PaPaSpeed]

I think it looks pretty damn nice. I sure think it would be much better than the stock top mount.
Have fun with it.

 

[zx2man]

yeah right on it looks good to me..smaller than what were used to seeing on other fmic..doesnt mean that this kit isnt good though. Im sure its way better than the stock pos.

 

[mr_mazda329]

Anything is better than stock.

 

[CnoTataymo]

Man, that really looks like the ATP FMIC. Do you have any pictures from under the hood?

 

[cosic]

HA! Atleast you can say you didn't need a massive intercooler to compensate for the smaller things in life

 

[jlocurto]

im waiting on epic tuning to send me all the pics they took while installing it, then ill post up the rest

 

[mazdaspeed32007]

weird how the piping on the ic goes to the center. every other fmic i saw has the bottom ports for the piping. i thought it had to do with fitment but i gues not.

i cant wait to get my frount mount here and on as well. nice mod mane!
