Anyone have suggestions on places/sites which sell intercoolers? I'm after a 600x250 or smaller core. I've checked PWR, JustJap and a few others but can't source one with a similar dimension.

What aout a kkr one thats been made to suit a soarer?? there a good quality intercooler!
KKR PI-1 $279 (WAS $379)
Overall length 735mm
520 x 160 x 127mm core

Quite a small core just very thick, woul this work???

Has anyone notice a reduce in pinging with the FMIC? I want to get a tune soon and was thinking of getting this kit before hand.

It's no where near hot enough to see if it helps with pinging, so ask again in a few more months and
you'll get a good idea. If your thinking of doing it, then you might as well wait till after it's on
till you do your tune.

It's been 30+ deg up here in Ballina the last few days and my car has been pinging abit. If I do go FMIC I am determined to get it to fit while keeping the fog lights and my CAI. I'm thinking Flipped core and customising the piping. Fingers crossed it will work

[hawks_123]

Yep it can be done, just depends on your budget, custom will add a lot of $$$$$. Take off your front bar and have a look at what you have to deal with.

...compared to how often with the factory TMIC?

Used to get a fair amount of pinging and power loss after periods of hard driving, but havnt noticed it since FMIC install 2 months ago

Same as above. But as hawk123 mentioned previously, the real test is when summer hits and if all reports are true its gonna be a stinker. Reduced pinging was the main reason i went FMIC.

So, without re-reading those whole thread. 1) Bolt-up with all piping (minor cutting) to a standard B4 2) Fits without losing fog lights 3) I have 3 points. 4) Anyone have this fmic with a front (whiteline) strut brace? Can anyone confirm this? I'm sick of my tmic. Its shiny and distracts me.

[Hypnotic]

i'll see how this summer goes and that shall be the decider to FMIC or not

1. No , no way in hell of keeping fogs with the kit. You need to DESTROY the inside of your front bar. if you got a bit of $$ buy the piping kit only , buy a smaller cooler, flip it , get the 2 pieces of piping that connect to the cooler re bent or somthing to fit up to the rest of the pieces to keep your cooler.

Reason for a smaller cooler is thats no chance of keeping your crash bar with the one that comes with the kit... i learnt the hard way..

You need to DESTROY the inside of your front bar.

Rules it out for me then.

Thanks
