Yeah probably have to take out the styrofoam.

 

Any news on prices?

 

when will this group buy be?

 

Being that I don't see a vendor in here...there probably won't be a group buy

 

I'd like to join in on the group buy if it goes down.

 

Im waiting for the moderator reply to my email to setup for a group buy..

 

im in just want to know about fitment and cost, I'm not to far away either

 

that migh take about a week or two sadly.

 

Ya but they're all over the place, an hpt log would be ideal showing ambient/iat/iat2 during the pull.

 

any pics with the bumper on?

 

Pricing:
I will get pricing info by friday, as for the group-buy I will create another post for it by friday.. since none of the moderators have contacted me or them..

Fitment issues:

on the OEM replacement size - you need to drill two small holes under the crash bar to mount the FMIC into place to support it, the front bumper cover fits right over it and the back of the spoiler [on the bottom of bumper cover] needs to be trimmed a little bit, to have it clear the IC.



on the Large/tuner size - you need to remove the crash bar, install mounting brackets to the crash bar mounting points to mount the FMIC into place to support it, the front bumper cover fits right over it and the back of the spoiler [on the bottom of bumper cover] needs to be trimmed a little bit, to have it clear the IC.

 

Was there a fan in front of the ic when these tests were done?

 

So I read it right, that you take off the crash bar, and leave it off?

 

LOL thats asking for it..

 

looks like it, just hope u dont get involved in a front end collision, but than again...any IC would be toast if you were anyway :p

 

Yes, but the weather played a big part, because it was hot & humid, thats why the numbers are low.

Yes for Tuner size FMIC, but for the OEM replacement - No - its bolted from the under the crash bar.

anyone is asking for it, if they crash.. racing or not..

you could be sitting at a light and get hit

 

I wasn't referring to the hp numbers being low.
I was referring to the temp difference between the in and out was only around 5 degrees with the stock ic. If you were blowing air through the front of it (what an ic needs to actually work). there should be a bigger difference.
What were you using to measure the in and out temps and where were they placed?

As far as the crash bar being removed... a lot of aftermarket ic kits for many cars need to have the bar removed. That's nothing out of the ordinary. Just up to you if you want to remove it or not.

 

That because the new R32's are slow, or atleast the one I raced was: Cobalt SS/TC sedan vs R32

 

r32 is trash untill boosted!

 

The old ones are better and respond much better to tunes and bolt-ons. Plus you can get them in a manual trans.

 

idk my buddy has an older r32 and i spank it all day long lol. anyways not the point. any news on pricing?

 

hi. debby downer here.

the ecm will compensate boost between the compressor side, and the throttle body to get the commanded pressure levels. this is why you do not see a pressure drop across the core.

 

I would never run without a crash bar, even if it gained 100 hp. Its there for a reason, and its not to protect the radiator/intercooler. Its to protect YOU. Without it, even in a slow speed wreck you are talking HUGE damage. If the insurance company sees you were running without one after a wreck, they will deny your claim. Keep this in mind.....

 

...its friday. where are the prices

 

Yes it will. Put a MBC on there and see what the pressure drop is with that monster core.
