That wasn't too hard now. Let's see these pictures!!!
1)Also you may want to actually "see" a contour before you say a FMIC is going to fit. Even if you removed the condensor you still would have very little room to put a FMIC.
2)If one fit it would be very small. That would be a major waste of power potential.
3)Not only that but a FMIC and it's subsequent long piping will cause a lot more pressure drop (I.E. the turbo has to spin faster (harder on the turbo) so the air is a lot hotter to begin with) and initial "lag" from all that piping would be significantly longer. Also it will be no where near as efficient as a water to air IC.
1)I've seen a contour a few times.....its just been awhile. The time i have, it seemed to be more room than the Cougar. But...before i put my foot in my mouth i'll just wait and measure. It wasnt the condensor that looked to be the problem when i did look. Piping was going to be hard.
2) Loss of HP's becuase of the heat ....not because the fmi was too small. If you had a fmi that was too large then you would have the problem your speaking of.
3)Lag from the piping......no. Unless you had the wrong size piping...and i mean way to big. And that info is straight from Corky Bell. We have no problem with over heating(2.5L V6), and if you are not planning on running in city traffic at 100 degrees you should be just fine. If you plan on running your car really hard at the track then i would suggest getting a co2 kit for the fmi. Still would cost alot less than water to air. Just doesnt make since to spend $1300+ on a fmi. Besides....Street Flight doesnt even mount the intercooler on the front do they?
