I know I'm bumping a 4 year old thread, but I didn't want to just start a new thread when this one is here and holds some good information..

So has anyone else done a FMIC with a SOS/Vortech/Comptech kit?? What kind of results did you see, gains or losses..

 

^^Same questions I have...better you than me to ask though lol

 

I'm sure the flame throwers are being fueled right now lol..

Bumping a 4 year old thread.. Srsly?!

 

I got your back Pulp Fiction

 

Average boost loss with the fmic is 3psi. You cant make that power up with a marginally lower intake temp. Ultimately you will lose performance. Just the way it is with a centrifugal sc on our car. Spinning the blower faster to compensate for the loss only works if your under spinning the blower aprox 3 psi to start with, but that doesn’t really bring the returns you desire either, because spinning the blower faster produces more IAT heat, which not only nulls the purpose of cooler temps from an fmic but the higher boost returns. In short the after cooler is the best performing, if you like the look of the fmic then get the upgraded heat exchanger for the after cooler. FMIC are best used for turbo applications.

 

Thanks I appreciate your response..
