05pearl Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Umm...I think we are asking too much. A sub $500 FMIC, without cutting the bumper beam would be just fine with me. As long as either the beam or fogs are saved, I am 90% in. IF you do both, you'll have more buyers, but i think you'll have enough interest given the price point and not cutting the bumper beam. I want it all and I want it now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamie700 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Is there a ballpark of when the kits would be ready for sale? Late summer? Fall '09? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 I need to find a local uncut bumper beam to get measurement. Then, I can get to work on the setup.

Kamakiri Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Very interested if you can get it to fit 07+... Couldn't really care less about the fogs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsme Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 I got the what I needed from Drew's '08. Do '05 -'07s have the same beam as the '08+? Looking into core types. The delta core looks promising. Racer X FMIC for '05-'09 LGTs, '08+ WRX and '10+ LGT,'14+ FXT, and '15+ WRX TMIC Racerxengineering.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Beam on all 05-09 is the same, just the foam insert is different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaeGT Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 does this just bolt up to the turbo or do i need a specific "adapter" to bolt it on to the 08 stock turbo and VF52? i'm still kinda a newbie at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Jae, i guess its the same as Xo2 FMIC, but itsme is making one that will fit on a 07-08, without having to cut the bumper, and saving the fog lights. it should bolt to stock turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same question here, but with an AVO420, if it clears the fogs and is at a good price point I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamie700 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 If your kit keeps the fogs and bumper beam, even if the beam is spaced out and we have to lose the foam, I'm interested. What is the story on Delta core, I googled it but didn't find much. Can you run a smaller core with that type? For people considering this FMIC what are your WHP goals? I'm guessing a lot of us are shooting for 350 whp or less. If someone wants more there are plenty of big FMIC (Perrin/WBR/etc.). I think you could get a lot of sales with the mild turbo upgrade crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 Well with the old FMIC I made I made 370+ WHP on e85 with only 20psi with no problem in mid 80 to mid 90's weather with a 2.4inlet w/7cm. The core I plan on using won't be much smaller then the one I have now. Plus if you get to 300whp you will need a bigger fuel pump. I'm also in the process of seeing if I can get more housings for fuel pump upgrades. If it works out Infamous1 and I will have them for sell outright with no core charge. Will keep you up to date. Also the setup will fit LGT and WRX style turbos and will clear air pump. I see these questions popping up. You won't have to buy extra parts it will come with the kit so if you want to upgrade to a different turbo later you can. I will hopefully have a few cores by the end of this month. I will try them out and see how they work.

Kupkake Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Wow, awesome progress, from the sound of things you are going the right way with this. Also someone mention black, you can get some therm paint and paint it way cheaper then the supplier. I plan to paint my pipes, its easy. Also theoretically there is less heaksoak with a FMIC then the stock TMIC right? I mean bigger core, larger intake area, ect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
