Re: just got my johnnyracecar 6" (Cezilla)
I have never heard of that ic. I was hoping to find an install install on a wrx. I want an fmic that will not require cutting my bumper support. This looks like it may be the ticket 
Looks like you need some mandrel bent tubing and silicone hoses

Re: just got my johnnyracecar 6" (vteg)
They're popular because they will leave enough clearance without cutting the actual metal bumper. I'm not sure if you have to cut the bumper cover, but if you do it would look cool as hell, because it will fill the entire mouth of the bumper. Just drill two holes into the metal bumper, and get some bolts/nuts with lock washers from your local hardware store.

Re: just got my johnnyracecar 6" (m R g S r)
Here's mine on my EM1...
I just drilled 2 holes, put 2 bolts in and that was it. No cutting of the bumper support.
Here it is with the bumper cover on...
No need to hack apart the bumper...keep it sleeper style...

Re: just got my johnnyracecar 6" (m R g S r)
I did a search of the site. I have not found dyno numbers for this ic yet. Their site claims 350whp. It seems possible based on the size. But I need to see dynos to believe anything.

Re: (VNTEC)
I'm loving mine, it fit great after modification on the stock bumper, check my sig for pics and it still fits great after a little modification on the wings west front end.

1 psi of pressure drop is not something to be proud of. My stock DSM SMIC has 1 to 1.5 psi of pressure drop, with 300 horsepower of airflow through it.
A good core will have less than half a psi of pressure drop.
We had no problem getting a 8" tall core on an EG, I don't see what you would have such a problem with your car. If the bumper is in the way, it's time do to some modifications. You don't want to give up that much performance, do you?

Listen, fuckmook. If you feel like contributing to this discussion, please go ahead. If you don't know crap about intercooler design or flow, then how about you just shut your pie hole and do what I say is best?
I have no problem with legitimate discussions, as you can see from my last reply. I love to talk about the best way to get something to work.
I do have a problem with douchebags who think they can prove people wrong without any kind of information.

Re: (kpt4321)
could you not measure the boost, taking your vacuum line and tap it inline AFTER the IC, to get the pressure after the drop. Thus, you turbo would actually be pumping out more and conphensate for the pressure drop???

It really depends how they are flow tested. Ratings like "good to XXX horsepower!" are a bit absurd, because that doesn't really mean... anything. What you really need to know is cooling capacity (versus airflow through the core, and across the core) and flow rates compared to pressure drops.
Not many companies publish this information, I'm afraid.

i agree with you on alot of points, but an 8" on a EG is ALOT easier to fit than on a EF.
