Code Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Does it fit with the own battery? If not, does it include a relocation kit? "Striving to better, oft we mar what's well." - Bill Shakespeare - car modder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGHK87Jay Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 The battery goes in the same location might need a slighty smaller battery though. Last I remembered it was a very tight squeeze for me when we were test fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geegeez Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Do you have installation pics of how much you had to trim off the skin? Can you keep fogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRSCobra Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 More pics of the core, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGHK87Jay Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Yes you can keep your fogs. No I dont have pics of of how much to trim off. Yes I am waiting for more pics of the core and specs of the core. Also it works with those of you that have trans coolers. So you don't have to relocate that.

01rs25 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Looks like a pretty nice setup! Curious to see customer reviews though. Slammed more than your girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightballrj Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 It looks like some of the welds are skip welded in the final picture. I'm not sure how that will hold pressure at all unless it wasn't finished or has some form of sealing mechanism in those seams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01rs25 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 this looks like just the fab stage. I'm sure the final production version will have completed welds. Slammed more than your girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Looks ok. CXracing is CXLighting. eBay company that sold us all those XO2 knock off CBE's. So, I expect lower cost and everything that goes with the lower cost FMIC choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Looks kind of ghetto to me.

OGHK87Jay Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Good news ladies and gents I finally got the details on the FMIC kit The measurements are: The intercooler overall size is 34x6.25x3, core size 26.5x6.25x3, 2.5” inlet and outlet. And... I have more photos but I will need upload them later tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 What is the pressure drop across the core? Any dyno charts on a stock car? If it works, fits well and is worth the money could be a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGHK87Jay Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Thats a very good question Mike. I don't even know what that means pressure drop across the core. No dyno charts. I'm getting my kit shipped soon to me but I already have my Racer X I bought from you last black friday. Which I'm gunna have you install the Racer X on mine in January. My personal cx racing kit is up for sale though for a lower price than what the gb price. If anyone is interested in the CX Racing kit PM me.

m sprank Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 There are now a few lower cost FMIC's available. All have their flaws (like many products). But, if one at least comes with a decent core it would make it worth while. Even the old XO2 could be slapped on a stock car and make more power. Always looking for "budget" products that fit well and work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRSCobra Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I'm looking forward to some dyno results on this. I had thought about a design like this several months ago, but lacked any of the resources to do anything about it. I imagine that putting a longer, thicker core under the beam would be a way to have good flow and still keep the car's stock crash rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 All the chatter about bumper beam and crash rating. I love it. All the beam does is connect the two crumple zones. If a beam is used to hold the core (like on a Perrin) the beam used will act the same way as the OEM beam. There are more than a few cars running FMIC's that have had front end collisions. Pix are all over the interweb. Might not be as cushy in a 5mph test, but if you actually wrecked out, results would be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRSCobra Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Unless it's a 2mph parking lot collision, and your $1500 perrin FMIC is destroyed because it's only protected by the plastic bumper skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
