Well, i gota be the dumb one and ask these questions. -How does Water/Rain filter/use through TMIC or FMIC? -For FMIC's, isn't the IC blocking the Radiator? -How does the Radiator get air, through the grills?
Water and air flow through both a FMIC and a TMIC. For a FMIC the outside air goes through the IC first and then through the radiator. It will block a little of the air that would normally go through the radiator, but not much.
Yeah FMIC block the radiator but I have had 0 issues with cooling. Even when its hot and the ac is on.
Do you have a real water temp gauge, or just the stocker?? I know with my water temp gauge (not the stocker), once it hits 80-85 outside my water temp NEVER drops below 200, and the stockers looks normal. Actually, after running the aftermarket one, the stocker is reading normal at around 14 and stays normal up to 230 (as hot as I have every had my car). Russ
i totally agree, my stock gauge doesnt really move from its spot, one time it got 3/4 of the way up on the gauge and the car was at *235 on my aftermarket gauge
