I have a question (or two).

 

I have a very expensive Greddy 3 row HG FMIC that has sat in my hallway for over a year!

 

I haven't fitted it yet because I can't make my mind up on a sutable bumper.

 

I like the 99 spec bumper but it looks like only the top row of the intercooler will recieve and air flow therefore providing uneven charge temps.

 

Is this just theorising rubbish? Am I better off going for SMIC's with a 99 spec bumper?

 

The thing is - my car now sits quite low which I love but it kind of rules out deep bumpers and fibre glass bumpers.

 

Help!!!!!

appologies for bouncing off topic but how much did you pay for your fmic, if you don't mind me asking bud?

 

from Z1/RHD/CZP?

I have a 99 spec and an ebay special (i think) FMIC and it looks like this...

 

 

Thank you please!

I think I paid around £650 for it (it costs about £1500!!) Although it has the twin filter thingy missing.

Aha! There you go! it looks like the bottom row is obstructed by the bottom lip of the bumper.

 

Don't suppose you've noticed any effects?

To be honest i wouldnt know, the car came with both that bumper and the front mount fitted. I cant imagine it making that much difference though, maybe in a 1000bhp build but its going to be fairly minimal on mine which is basically a standard car with a chip and a bar of boost.

I dont have any issues in warm weather that I have noticed (other than no aircon!) but if anything is going to affect tha ton mine its the bent intercooler pipe on the passanger side! Quite bad it seems, a garage pointed it out to me the other day so going to have to have a look at that sometime in the future!
