I agree, An example between FMIC vs. SMIC.
Kind of like sucking through a straw. FMIC, its bigger and u need to suck harder to get more. SMIC its smaller and easier for the enigne to suck air. As oppsed to FMIC weres the eninge has to try harder to get more air.
COrrect me if i'm wrong

Since there is only one SMIC out and is too damn expensive, i'm tirned to look more towards a FMIC.

That is not true. The stock SMIC is very restrictive and the core we use is very, very efficient. You can see from side to side if you were to look thru the core. Also the wrinkles on the plastic charge pipes from the MSP make too much turbulence as opossed to the smooth steel pipes. In fact, with our FMIC the boost comes earlier and stronger.

HiBoost we need dyno's!!

Talked to a Mazdaspeed Technician today. He said the FMIC would in no way affect our warranty unless it bumped against the radiator and caused it to leak (Said he had people come in with this problem).

How much clearance does each FMIC have b/w the IC and the radiator?

There is no way in hell a properly installed FMIC will contact the radiator.

 

[HammondMSP]

So there is no way that these kits (intercooler or hardpipes) will hit the radiator?

Our kit sits far from the radiator and has the brackets to prevent the I/C to rub against it.

greddy says they'll release one this summer. hks wouldn't touch a msp with a 20ft pole.

keep me posted when you hear abaut the greedy fmic.

I doubt greddy will come out with a kit for our cars any time soon or even at all. Your better off getting the Ion. That seems to be the best one out for our cars. Plus they got dynos to back it up(evil)

HammondMSP - Our FMIC core itself has it's on supports that bolt onto the chassis of the car. It will in no way be able to contact the radiator.

i was wonderingif the aem cai works with yur fmic???? oh by the way can you sent pict of your cai thanks ion for the info.

 

[iON Performance]

spike blue - Not sure about the AEM, since none of our customers have that. Here's some pics of our intake:

 

[spike blue]

how much is your cai and how many wheel horsepower gain??

 

[iON Performance]

spike blue - @ peak rpm, gain was 6whp: on average a minimum gain of 17whp across the entire rpm w/ a max gain of 24whp @ 4700rpm. (baseline was the stock car w/ our FMIC kit installed @ stock boost) *note the dynograph on the first page, that shows the gains relative to the baseline* Our CAI is $275US + shipping w/ the member discounted price for payment via MO.

 

[spike blue]

which is the difference between the injen and yours?? In horsepower gain?? Is the injen better than yours??? Im confuse because i want to put your fmic but i really want to have the cai first so i don't know which one to get?? Which one you will get and why??
