Fmic

i own an 08 STI,was wondering if anyone tried fitting a FMIC from later models to newer models?!!?!? piping and core.

I've searched on google and came up w/ nothing....can anyone help???

 

I'm sure it can be done... with some cutting and extra couplers/pipe.

We tried to mount a cold air intake from an 05 to a GR and it wouldn't work. Doubt an intercooler kit will. but anythings possible with modification

 

thanks for insight Sparta

 

i think i might just get a huge TMIC for time being until i build motor and get my rotated 35R

 

^^Bigger isn't always the better in this situation. Have to get core that matches your goals.

 

Bigger intercooler usually means more pressure drop thus making your turbo have to work harder.

 

Why not just get an FMIC that is made for your year?

 

Probably found a killer deal on a used one.

 

Yeah, but the modifications and work involved to get it to fit could negate that killer deal.

 

I'm wanting to go with a bigger top mount i already have my 1000cc injectors. I want to reach 350-380 whp and im gonna sit there for a min and then do my motor build


thanks for all of your support

what other mods do you have? Turbo back?

 

i have Invidia N1 TBE and cosworth A/O seperator other mods are non performance

 

I'm wanting to do all exhaust work headers up pipe. I already have TBE, nice AMR sized TMIC and install my 1000cc injectors; and of course a bigger fuel pump. I think i will be happy after that, well until i get the money to get a rotated kit:naughty: Think i might get a meth kit too.

I just got out of the army and into civ life so its going to take me a min. Plus i have a wife and son. I'm sure there are people in here who know where im coming from.

Sorry for rambling

Start a build journal

 

yes lol my father owns a 67' camaro and thinks it's so fast...im thinking so heavy. He calls my car a rice burner, so i say got rice? He doesn't understand technology and the way they tune these AWD Grocery getters. Everyone says let me add a turbo to my camaro, mustang ect... im like let me add 4 more cyl? They forget, but it's ok....lol

 

Very new here. Thanks for info and i'll give it a shot
