Finally A Fmic

mx68u Admin Group: Admin Posts: 1128 Member No.: 1 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline   Posted:Jan 16 2004, 09:19 PM Hey guys, just put a deposit on a FMIC for the mx6, cant wait till it gets here, should have in within a couple of weeks It's a lil on the big side 800mm x 600mm x 76mm but its nice and thin so airflow to the radiator isnt going to be restricted too much but unfortunately since its bar and plate there will be still a pressure drop but still heaps better than the stocker thats for sure. :thumpup: Unfortunately the vf22 doesnt like pressures above 18psi so i'll probably be limited to around 16 - 17psi assuming there is a 1 - 2 psi drop across the core at that pressure, anywayz cant wait till it goes on.. heres some pics... This one is on an MX6 so it should fit Attached Image mx68u Admin Group: Admin Posts: 1128 Member No.: 1 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Jan 16 2004, 09:20 PM Heres a fuzzy top shot Attached Image mx68u Admin Group: Admin Posts: 1128 Member No.: 1 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Jan 16 2004, 09:21 PM internals...

I'm planing on WAter -air if I have to change my factory one. You going to keep your front bar? or not bro -------------------- Winning is Winning Fair or not Perform on the Day It's wasn't Me RODHOG PROFILE mx68u Admin Group: Admin Posts: 1128 Member No.: 1 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Jan 28 2004, 03:39 PM QUOTE (turbogt22 @ Jan 22 2004, 03:01 PM) Let us know how it goes. This outta be awesome. no way i'll fit it in eh, only girls say that sort of stuff thats the plan rod, its going to be tight as but im pretty sure it'll fit, looking at how julians sits there will definately be enough room just have to chop the connecting bits at the bottom of the bumper.. the main problem will be the piping of course... im hoping to feed a 2inch pipe under the drivers side light (need to bash some metal for sure) and some how get it thru those air con hosing, might need to chop and relpace tho... just have to wait and see i suppose. Otherwise its going to have to be routed to the other side to where to stock inlets are.. mx68u Admin Group: Admin Posts: 1128 Member No.: 1 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Feb 16 2004, 09:53 PM finally it came today a month after my initial payment Attached Image mx68u Admin Group: Admin Posts: 1128 Member No.: 1 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Feb 16 2004, 09:55 PM nother Attached Image Rodhog Moderator Group: Moderators Posts: 365 Member No.: 19 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Feb 17 2004, 12:13 AM well you knwo how I do my business Bro Rod does Greek sylte CASH only and face to face HA HA Looks good but, I suggest even when fitting it's time to place carboard on it's faces. most damage happens when trial fitting and meassuring. A little adicee dont cut any air-con pipe, unless really have to. Friend had to get custom rubber hoses and it cost him another $400 on top just for the hose because of size and pressure,being the right stuff. talking ot a mate of mine he said your Vf 22 shoudl take easy 20psi at manifold with a 5psi pressure dorp it's what he ran his WRX on with water spray on intercooler it was factory top mount on a My96. -------------------- Winning is Winning Fair or not Perform on the Day It's wasn't Me RODHOG PROFILE mx68u Admin Group: Admin Posts: 1128 Member No.: 1 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Feb 18 2004, 07:20 PM yeah i was having my doubts, especially when they asked for the remaining $300 bucks but then i saw their ad in hot 4's so figured it was legit enough to pay in full as you can tell a few fins are already bent, i've straightened them out and placed cardboard.. now just have to source some pvc piping so i can come up with a design.. might squeeze in some rubber tubing thro the left headlight and passed the air con hoses like droopz suggested.. see how it goes... MRT dudes seem to think that the compressor blades start falling off at 18psi... no idea how efficient their stocky top mounts are tho so there could be a bit more in her..

Who did you buy the cooler off? -------------------- Winning is Winning Fair or not Perform on the Day It's wasn't Me RODHOG PROFILE mx68u Admin Group: Admin Posts: 1128 Member No.: 1 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Feb 19 2004, 06:56 PM $500 from mercurymotorsport.com.au, found the offer on performance forums... i believe its the exact same cooler that jules is using.. i cant find one thing different about them.. im guessing the suppliers are getting them for around 300 - 350 from china inc shipping and cheap labour polishing
