Hey guys, I'm currently looking to get a FMIC for my 05 wrx. Curious on what brands you guys would recommend.
What mods do you have installed on the car now? The reason I'm asking is because a FMIC might be total overkill.
SPT short ram intake, Invidia N1 Turboback exhaust, Bullwinkle Tune. I just love the looks of a FMIC.
You will need another tune. If you just like the looks just get a cheap one on eBay and install it but keep your Tmic lol.
I was looking on Ebay, there are some for $300, should I stay away from those? GodSpeed was the brand of one. I've accepted the fact of a tune, not sure how spendy those are, and where I should go. Either Map, NF, or RS.
NF. I read on nasioc that the cheap 300$ Godspeed fmic will end up costing nearly 1000$ because of all the work that goes into mounting everything.
If you mainly like the looks of a fmic, i would just buy a mesh grill insert and spend the rest on a used STi tmic. If your minds set on a fmic, I'd spend the $ and get a well known brand name, your tuner will thank you
Get this one but don't hook it up: http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIVERSAL-FRONT-MOUNT-TURBO-INTERCOOLER-FMIC-28x7x2-5-/220479578594 Only $68 and will make you look super duper fast!
A front mount on a stock WRX is kinda pointless. (in my opinion of course). Unless you are planning on upgrading the supporting parts, turbo, injectors, etc.. its pointless
I was wrong it wasn't nasioc, and it wasn't a 1000$ but here's the link to what I read. http://www.iwsti.com/forums/2-5-lit...cs-full-review-godspeed-fmic-intercooler.html I'm sure you could get it done for a lot cheaper than that guy did.
I have a ERZ. Fitment is okay. The bar mount is off from the intercooler itself so you will have to widen the mounting holes. It does the job. I went front mount first thinking I will eventually go bigger turbo. In the end, I stayed a stage 2. And what car doesn't look cool with a front mount. Especially on a wagon.
I have a Turbo XS FMIC that came off of my car after an accident. Cooler is good. Pipes are good. Needs a new bumper beam/bracket. I'd let it all go for 100 bucks. If you fab a new bracket it should go right in
I will have to take some. I have not actively been trying to sell it. I just remembered I had it when I was cleaning the garage.
That's a hell of a deal up above, but wanted to let you know that IIR is selling FMS FMIC kits for $625 right now. I just picked one up.
