Intercooler: FMIC & TMIC

[dr20t]

Hey guys. So I've spent the last few weeks reading up on FMIC's as its one of my next mods.

I'll be look at around 230-240kwatw once I go FMIC 19psi and 100octane.

My FMIC question is would 2.5" inlet and 2" out's be ok?
I'll be doing 2.5" piping from the turbo to the FMIC...
Can I run 2.5" piping off the 2" FMIC outlet? Or should I run 2" piping?

Taylor other way around

2" hot side 2.5 to 3" cold side

2" off the turbo, then 2.5 going to 3" for the throttle body

And without sounding like a dick but I would adjust your expectations with power output as you most likely will not hit that figure with an auto

Thanks for the help Mick .

I'm looking at nicks core
530mm x 330mm x 65mm and 2" Driver Side and 2.5" Passenger Side

But I'm not sure if it would suit my set up?

230kwatw on the road . But I'll be happy with any top end gains. I know there's no way I'm going to get a dyno to show anywhere close to that type of number with how the torque converter loads up.

Most of them look good but you can't beat rotated core and less pipework which means less lag... Not that it matters because you hardly feel it... But the Phat man has the best pipework i have seen so far... 230kw at the wheels would be alright if it was not an automatic... Expect to max out a 220kw at the wheels with all assisting modifications... I got 182kw with stock injectors and stock cat back...

Rotated core as in the front side of the turbo to allow a more free flowing pipe work?

Or rotated FMIC core?

Still haven't decided on having the inlets/outlets in the intercooler core at the bottom or top.

People seam to be running both.
