I'm using a FMIC from a Mitsu Starion. That seems to be a popular one to use. I know several people who are using them. Also they are pretty easy to find in junkyards.

Hey Viper u have a very nice 7, Whoa and the starion looks great with it...How much boost can the starion handle if anyone knows? Im thinking of getting the starion intercooler if it can accomidate 15psi, if not i might go the aftermarket route but still not sure so tell me what u think, thx

Another popular FMIC is the Izuzu's one.I see those used alot on the FB's
|
hey, viper. what kind of front is that. looks nice.

The nose is a standard Mazdatrix nose. Got tired of the square lights, filled in the holes and went with round.
Not sure on the max boost the ic will hold. I've ran mine around 10-12lbs with no problems. I don't see too much problem in running 15lbs. I, also, have heard of people using the Isuzu, be not sure which model. |

i use a isuzu NPR intercooler, they are bigger and better that the starion intercoolers and they are easier to find that the starion ones.

I've heard of a few people who go cheap and get truck intercoolers instead of perfomance intercoolers. Bad Bad news. They are really dodgy :evildeal: as they are not capable of handling the sustained air charges for turbos designed for performance cars.

By the way too big an intercooler will make increase lag, so you have to find a happy medium between efficiency and lag. |

Again, check this link and see how some "truck" intercoolers do compared to "sports car" ones.

http://www.rx7club.com/forum/attachment.ph...&postid=1217851 http://www.rx7club.com/forum/attachment.ph...&postid=1217857 Home made bracket to hold it all in place. http://www.rx7club.com/forum/attachment.ph...&postid=1217895 I will have to trim a little of the reinforcment fom the header panel when I put it back on. Unless 1stRX7heaven finishes his vented header panels first. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png |
How much will he charge for those header panels????Are they 3 vent design and remove the badge altogether?
|
I don't know how much he'd charge. They should look like this.
