I mocked up the fmic

[ryanblacksvt]

I finally got around to mocking up the larger fmic from nautilus this morning, now all I have to do get get some brackets welded to the core support to bolt the fmic on, and notch the back of the bumper support and its all done.

Start

The smaller one

Look at that big filter

The new one is much larger

Installed, its only supported by the couplers so it needs the brackets

i thought it was getting Powder coated black.....


maybe i was seeing sentences that werent true.

 

[ryanblacksvt]

No I was and the more I thought about it the crome goes with the silver too well to mess with.

 

[icysvt]

looks good ryan. cant wait to see what that does for the power on the beast!

 

[ryanblacksvt]

Well like Joey has said before the one one was the bottleneck, he thinks it left atleast 30whp to be free, this one should free up all that extra hp at the same boost levels.

The smaller one is 21"X6"X2.75", each vein only being 1/4" = 5.5" square of port area of flow

And the larger is 26"x10"x3" veins also 1/4" but the flow is top to bottom so you have 24" squared of port area of flow 80% less resistance with the same amount of cooling area the intercooler will flow over 700 hp

From Joey
side to side mounts are not great unless you get them 12" tall for pressure drop which may be fine for guys who want to stay under 400 hp but anytime you free up the load on the turbo wheel you free up the exhaust turbine wheel allowing the exhaust to flow better

 

[SVTRacer]

care to dumb all that down for the N/a guys?


lol.

 

[ryanblacksvt]

Ok its like blowing air through a straw when you really need a garden hose.

 

[SVTRacer]

OHHHHH.


:shrug: well, why didnt you just say that?



:laugh:

 

[ryanblacksvt]

I just adjusted the elbows and zip tied it on so this is the way it will sit with the brackets, I am going to measure how far out and down they need to be then give that to my welder to cut out and get ready, and so I can trim the bumper support.

 

[SVThopeful]

Looks good, can't wait to see the results.

 

[SVTJON87]

looks great! and i would think powder coating would hold more heat in. so this would be better.

 

[ryanblacksvt]

It would but numerous people in another thread got me to the right coating but I am gonna leave it as is.

 

[SVTJON87]

ok i see.

 

[OB1]

Looks good to me, I'm saying you are doing a good job so far man.

 

[ryanblacksvt]

Well thanks man, yeah I dont do alot to my own cars but this is way too easy for someone else to do for me. It took maybe an hour start to finish.

 

[svt4stv]

sweet! im jealous! :drool:

you should put some sick HID lights on that car. need some?

 

[ryanblacksvt]

I already have them, well when Bagged gets finished re doing my projectors, I have some projector h.i.d's I bought from aliasjerk.

 

[FauxhawkFox]

Will you be putting the car on the dyno after this? It would be cool to see before and after. I remember you dyno'd from the trailblazer meet. The new FMIC looks a lot better too.

 

[ryanblacksvt]

Yes I will but I need to get it re-tuned from Joey first. I am just waiting on him to pm me with what I need to do to accept a tune file ect... since I havent ever done that before.

 

[Harrry]

That looks sweet. You will def be putting down better numbers!!!

Man you need to bring that thing to sz09
