Bigltfp Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 UPDATED WITH PROTUNE DYNO NUMBERS- Page 3 POST 33 Figured I would just share on the my pride and joy. The LGT has been down at Precision Tuning in Brick for around a month. I got some beautiful update shots from the guys and figured I'd share. As said above this is a custom FMIC, it involved absolutly zero cutting of any of the stock parts. In my opinion the PT guys have done absolutly beautiful work and I just felt like sharing http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/bigltfp/th_lonniepipes.jpg http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/bigltfp/th_lonniecar4.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/bigltfp/lonniecar3.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/bigltfp/lonniecar5.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/bigltfp/lonniecar.jpg So what do you guys think?

UPSGuy Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 That IC is HUGE!! Looks like a really nice setup. Maybe it's just the angle of the pic, but does all of the IC get good air flow or just the bottom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigltfp Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 It's the angle. Obviously the whole intercooler can't be exposed if I'm retaining the stock bumper. But the way it is set up, it should get fairly good Airflow. LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05sublegacygt Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 so is your car done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutter2k Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Thats pretty sweet. Can they repeat the process without the car being down a month? Can it still use the stock air box? What turbo will you be running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigltfp Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 I can not speak for them, but this was the first LGT to be done...so everything had to be fitted on it for the first time. Also I had a lot of other stuff going on it, not just the FMIC, so I'm sure they be able to do just that more quickly. So far as the stock airbox...it's my understanding that the stock box is generally required to be replaced when doing a FMIC, although I may be wrong. So far as my turbo of choice...I went with a Blouch TDO5H-20G, due to it's great spool characteristics and my desire not to go for maximum top-end numbers at the expense of spool-up. The car is not done yet, I believe there was some delay with the Cobb AP (No fault of PT, but rather suppliers), but it is almost done.

CasopoliS Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 looks great. it seems a lot of that IC is covered, but I guess I am wrong. The pic makes it look like the top 1/2 is covered. If you were more interested in spool, the 18G might have been a better option. You might be suprized by the top end of the 20G. But with a custom FMIC... a 20G is a good option. Go big! So I am guessing new fuel pump and injectors? What boost do they plan on running with it? I see lots of exhaust sitting on the ground... sounds like you are building a mean car. subscribes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTM 525 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 If your talking about an 18 and 20G both using the same TDO6 wheel spoolup difference will be minimal as the turbine wheel itself causes the lag. Maybe 200 RPM's. I am not sure but I would think the same would hold true of an 18 and 20G that both use the TDO5 wheel as well. This was information I recieved on the phone directly from Mike at Blouch turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutter2k Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 For the purpose of science, I am really curious how the TDO5H-20G does w/fmic. Stay in touch. This was an option I was considering before the TD06H-18g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigltfp Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'll definitly let u guys know. My worry about the lag was teh TDO5H vs. the TDO6. I did quite a bit of research on Nasioc, since I am utilizing a WRX fitment turbo. At some point it will be dynoed..... LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxx Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 wow, how come I just saw this??? I love precision tuning. Those guys know their shit & won't talk you into anything you dont need or want. Damn, every time I see an FMIC I want one more & more. "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama!

Bigltfp Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 I wound up....or at least now I'm in the process of having the tuner over at automaster of westchester email a map for me to limp up to his shop and I'll be getting dyno-tuned tomm. morning. I just couldn't wait any longer for the tuner to show up. I am still waiting to see if this new "temp" map will get me up there. But I have every indication it should work.
