So im looking for a FMIC for my d16z6 turbo setup. which will consist of:

-maybe a fully built bottom end
-fullrace copy mani
-sc50 .48 a/r
-2.5 charge pipes

would the streetimports FMIC size 22x9x3 be sufficient for the HP im looking for? I want something better, quality wise at around the same size. but if i go with this IC, dsm bov, custom charge pipes i might be able to sleeve my block.



anyone know if these units are decent? i have searched, i only found 1 person with real feedback but that was for a much larger IC.


thanks!

he rated that intercooler to support about 500hp so it should be enough

i know that. but im also wondering about its cooling capabilities. and if its a quality unit, all the other parts im using have been tested and i am sure about them.

Stop focusing on numbers dude. 2.5" is overkill for your goals, period.

I can vouch for the Street Imports intercooler. They are very well made, and great price too.

You'll be fine with it.

the end tanks are 1/2" thick cast pieces of heat sink crap and the tubes have no turbulators inside. weak

Agreed. The cores blow ***.

I was one of the first ones to get one, just because it was so inexpensive.

I logged a few runs when I dyno'd and at 12psi my IACs didn't change very much.

went up only about 5 degrees from ambient, but I'm not so sure how its gonna do at high boost.

You guys think the johhny race car 8inch can handle hi boost? For the price...its really hard to beat. Rated at 500whp too.

ATS*Mark

im going for 400 on it

accordfreak

anybody have pictures of a good core and a bad core to compare?

i made 220whp on a dynapack at 14psi with the street import ic. its in the link in my sig. I just sold everything though and i'm probably going to go with a pwr ic for my next setup.

Dont lissen to this dumb ****. If you plan on building do it right the first time go 2 1/2.
your buddy did not make 400whp with 2 inch shut up, and if he did than he is limmiting himself alot. Oh that is right bitch I am back...

You do know the hot side pipe is 2" on pretty much every turbo kit right?
