i know turboXS makes tmic for the wrx, but does anyone make one for the FC?

ARC in japan makes one... it is $$$$ if you get a new one, they are around 150 + 100 shipping from japan usually on ebay.



You can also get spearco (turbonetics.com) to make you one if you give them the specs. But then again i'm not sure how much this would cost, expect $$$$

i have seen a few top mount chillers for the fc but the question is why would you want to run a top mount? if u buy a custom frount mount or **** if ya really want to go nuts go v mount anyways top mount just wont give the right amount of eficiancy as a frount mount would no matter who makes it

My buddy had an ARC TMIC and his car didn't run so I installed it and it was much better I thought, but not near what a FMIC will do

fmic https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif about the same amount as a custom tmic

i dont wanna jack-up my fmic from drifting....

fc3sboy1 11-18-2003 10:02 PM

thats the reason https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif you want a top mount for drifting ????????????? use a stock s5 jdm unit or have M2 make ya a top mount. but you are drifting so you should knows the rules YA GOTS TO PAY TO PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or just dont wreak. the stock s5 jdm top mount is ok up to 15 psi just use a good set of metal ic pipes and thats all the more ya need for drifting. shoot or just do what i did mount a frount mount back where the condenser should be then no damage to the ic when ya crash . and if ya do damege that far back you should get a new car cause your drifting 7 will never be the same.

I have one and will probably be selling it shortly to..



TMIC does a good job for road racing. or just where you don't plan on running high boost levels but want a bit more cooling capacity.
