Re: New FMIC project

Not wanting to sound like a hater but it dosen't look like it will flow that much air. It's like 3" thick by 6" (inlet) one way then the air flow back the other way 3" x 6" (outlet).
How much cfms can you get out a 3" x 6" ic core?
If the end tanks were on both end of the ic you would get twice the cfms than the way it is now.

I could be wrong and it won't be the first time.

Looks good.. looks like you had to chop up the bracket for the hood release a ton huh.. nothing major though.

I believe i've seen these ic's with the claims of supporting 500hp if I remember right.. if you browse ebay im sure you'll find the answer though

Re: New FMIC project

Update:
got some of the piping done but waiting on a few more parts to get in to finish. The I/C is made by CXracing it is 3inc. thick did a little cutting. 2.5 inlet and 2.5 outlet. 700CFM up to 500HP. Looks well built to me. www.cxracing.com good price as well. I have got about 450.. in it right now. Time will tell if it works well or not.

Re: New FMIC project

Get some steel tubing from the auto parts store and bend up a little heat exchanger for the power steering cooler down around on the engine crossmember close to the front bumper. That way it's out of your way. Some people say get rid of it but that thing gets pretty damn hot.
I had thought about doing what your doing but remove the stock grill where the GMC is and just have it as intercooler. Only thing on yours is the two elbows on the passenger side actually come forward before going back. Is that just an illusion? You may have to get creative with the grille. Looks good though.

Re: New FMIC project

I went to Xracing and didnt see that perticlar I/C.
How much did it cost?
Did you have to reclock your turbo?
Did you get a blowoff valve?

Re: New FMIC project

Keep up the good work, I like everything you got going on this project. The inlet and outlet on the same side, so you can use a minimal amount of piping and not have to go over or under the motor. Plus I can't wait to see how it looks mounted behind the grill and get some performance numbers.
