Ok.. i know there was already a thread about the fmic for fd. But i wanna know how bad the cooling side effects are with a stock radiator. I was offered a killer deal on a new v-spec 2 row fmic for my fd, and i wanna know if i should go for it, or not. I will be upgrading the radiator in a few months to either a fluidyne or a koyo. I just wanna know how bad this fmic affects temps on a daily driven car, that will sit in traffic every now and then... so yeah.. thanks! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

after doing a search.. none of the pix on the greddy fmic install threads work https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png

the intercoolers themselves are awesome. i am a little conscious of the overheating issues, but i am still on a stock radiator....and am getting a fluidyne in about 2 weeks.......

well, not the pics that i was looking for, but they will do.....you will have an ides of what is required.....i think....

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif i want it!

check out install greddy fmic install

Would that work with the apex'i power intake in the original spot? cause the one in the link looks modified.

Greddy FMIC install is easy, just take your time. I also recommend taking the opportunity to replace the radiator because you have to remove it anyway and why do the same job twice? I replaced mine with a koyo radiator. I had to modify my air duct to force the air up into the radiator because I noticed my temps were higher than normal. The "fan mod" is good for helping with cooling also.

What air duct did you modify? Did you just cut a slit in the enderbelly pan? or what? I think im just going to run with out it, or cut and open a hole with some House A/C piping to it. She needs to run nice and warm at 185-190 degrees F. Thanks

yes, you trim the upper supports on the belly pan and then can make another duct if u want.....i am in mississipps, and it gets hot and humid here, so i am chosing the pwr radiator, because i think that the koyo is too big, and might not get all the air to it to cool it efficiently enough for me.......
