hey ... im gonna upgrade to a FMIC when i install my radiator, exhaust, remove airpump, remove ACV, and all the bullshit
im not looking for a greddy or blitz or whatever to run a million psi....just something to keep the whole system cooler and run about 10-11 psi
i wanna buy a used I/C from another car or whatever but im just trying to find out what you guys think the optimal dimensions would be
i see people using NPR and stuff, i was thinking about it....im looking thru ebay and trying to find a nice 50 - 100 dollar fmic i can put in front of the radiator...
im gonna move the radiator back about 3-4 inches towards the engine to make space for the IC
anyways thanks in advance

WOAH THATS ******* AWESOME...
thats something like i was thinking of doing...cept im gonna pass on the intake part ... the radiator and FMIC looks awesome...maybe if i ever get haltech and ditch the afm ill pop the intake in there
but the sheath he has setup for the airflow to the FM and R is kickass
my new inspiration

as far as I know they are the stock endtanks. I never had it installed in my car. I went the lazy route, and just bought the GReddy IC kit. I'll have to think about the $150, I paid $185 for it, and I don't really want to lose money on it. But money is kinda tight for me right now. So I'll let you know...
