Corksport FMIC

[4drboost]

Hey, does anyone have any info, or more news on the Corksport front mount intercooler kit, that is suposably in development for the MSP? I was just wondering.

thanks,
Ian

[UnNaturalinc]

The pipe-mock up was completed along with the mounting and routing of everything.

Next still will be for a produced set of pipes to be tested.

*That info posted on CS's website in regard to this product was only put up about 3 weeks ago.

[jeffmsp]

why wait for CS there are lots to chose from

[4drboost]

I was just wondering, actually, im getting the Hiboost one anyways, but its not like more intercoolers are bad or anything.

[speedhawaii]

wonder what the price will be

[UnNaturalinc]

[Spooled]

I sent them an email to keep my up-to-date on the release. If you do that, they will send you a discount code when it comes out for 20% off! They said that it will be $800 or less, so with that code it's $640 or less! That's a damn good deal for an FMIC kit if you ask me. Plus you know that Corksport is always looking out for the Protege community.

[Spooled]

Bump! I can't wait for this kit to come out. It should be soon.

[pluto316]

Is this going to be like the CS CAI intake for the MSP?

[low_psi]

I'm pretty sure they scrapped this project.

[Mazdaspeed989]

scrapped the FMIC kit? The website says March so we'll see...hopefully it won't be like the hardpipes...

[ca_deal1]

Its kind of late to start doing FMIC.... isnt it?

[evilmonkeyMSP]

Incorrect, I know for a fact that it is still in production. kthx




I'm pretty sure they scrapped this project.

[Spooled]

I talked to them at the beginning of January and they said that the prototype needed some adjustments and more testing and that it would be ready in March. It doesn't sound like it's scrapped at all to me. If they deliver it at a good price, there will be a bunch of people buying it that otherwise would be FMIC-less (like me).

[evilmonkeyMSP]

(werd) me too

Especially since MAM is scrapping their FMIC as of the begining of March...

[orphman]

WHAT?!

[evilmonkeyMSP]

lol you didnt know? They have dropped that & the Manifold. They will no longer be offered because of the whiney members that ordered them in the past & always cried about build times.

[orphman]

lol you didnt know? They have dropped that & the Manifold. They will no longer be offered because of the whiney members that ordered them in the past & always cried about build times.


WTF!!!!!! damn... damn damn.... ive got this ass pile of money ive been saving up.... FUK.... i have 7 k left on WT and im gonna freak if i cant maaa shit... well gonna haev to order now i guess... they still offer both or what?

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I would PM Beau to find out if either can still be ordered

[orphman]

I would PM Beau to find out if either can still be ordered


will do.... sux....

had this awsome plan to get like 80 bagillion dollars worht of shit through it together and have and unveiling like a mofo... anyway thanks for the info.....

[evilmonkeyMSP]

np glad I hopefully gave you a shot @ getting the things you want

[pluto316]

Fucking bullshit Protege owners.

[UnNaturalinc]

I'm pretty sure they scrapped this project.

No, they did not.

[UnNaturalinc]

Its kind of late to start doing FMIC.... isnt it?

Late compared to what?

Do you think every MSP has an FMIC now or something? :confused:

[Spooled]

Man, that's too bad to hear about MAM, but I couldn't afford their stuff anyway. I probably would have already had their FMIC if I had the budget for it, and that turbo manifold is just beautiful.

[Spooled]

Just got an email from Rich over at CS. He said that they just got the tooling equipment that they needed to make the piping. The estimated release date is late April-early May.

[503MSP]

if the release date is by april early may i should have enough saved up for it by then if they really are selling it for the price they say on the website

[CorkSport]

We are still working on the kit. We are discussing wether we will do a single run or several , depending on the market. Price is still targeted at >$800. Everything must be perfect before this kit goes out.
Also, we recently made another change to the kit to clean up the final install.

Come on man!, Yer killing me. I'm tired of everyone "dude, why don't you have an intercooler!!?!?!?!?"


I'm going to give them your cell phone number to ask. :P

[CorkSport]

Ha. the only reason i have a cell phone now is because Rich bought me one. I refused to get another after they wanted to charge me for a new one after mine died.

I can't imagine why they would be calling you instead of me. (hah)

The kit has to be right before we go on it, AND I want it tested first as well, A little Dyno time.

[UnNaturalinc]

I have access to two dynos. Booyaaaah.

I'll be throwing my car on the Dynojet (next door) after I install my boost gauge. I'd like to see if it differs at all from Unichips.

[Spooled]

Good to see you posting news on here, Cork. It's nice to know that you are testing the kit well. By the way, ">$800" means more than $800.

[UnNaturalinc]

. By the way, ">$800" means more than $800.

lol, yeah... I almost commented on that.

[evilmonkeyMSP]

math pwnage

[CorkSport]

(dunno) Ok, less than $800. " <<<<<<<<<<<"

[evilmonkeyMSP]

lets go w/ < $800


the rule is...you want the alligator mouth "<" to be "eating" the number that is larger IE 7>4 (7 is greater than 4) 4<7 (4 is less than 7)

heheheh :p

[evilmonkeyMSP]

wtf am I doing? Im no math teacher....

[evilmonkeyMSP]

todays lesson was brought to you by the color football

[CorkSport]

Less<$800 or less>$800 or $800 more-or-less = 800<>800??(deadhorse

[evilmonkeyMSP]

we could get real crazy & use ≥ (less/greater than or equal to)


Less<$800 or less>$800 or $800 more-or-less = 800<>800??(deadhorse

[orng1]

todays lesson was brought to you by the color football
and the letter orange.

[Smork]

Brought to you by the letter joint. (ever listen to the sesame street stoner remix?)

[Spooled]

Haha, anyway you look at it, sub $800 for the kit is good news.

[cthomp21]

If this kit has aluminum piping (as per the link) and will allow for a will allow for the installation of a performance radiator (no piping through the SMIC hole) for < $800, then count me in.

[CorkSport]

Piping will be going around the end to allow for radiator changes. A bracket will be used as in other kits to remove the SMIC.

[evilmonkeyMSP]

(yippy) (sssh)

[nk2a]

Piping will be going around the end to allow for radiator changes. A bracket will be used as in other kits to remove the SMIC.

Will the piping utilize the CAI route or will that still be available? If so are you going to be selling the piping separately?

[Mazdaspeed989]

Wow I am so in for this...and hopefully my wallet will be as well.

[cvp0917]

lol, i took college trig so i hate math... sub'n

[CorkSport]

The test car uses the Injen intake and this setup will not affect it.

[Spooled]

The test car uses the Injen intake and this setup will not affect it.

Great news since I have an Injen.

[low_psi]

glad to hear this is still in the works!

[silverspeed03]

Please hurry CS, I need a FMIC before summer.

[Mazdaspeed989]

Relocate your MAF and you won't have to worry about using that hole. That's my plan anyways

[UnNaturalinc]

Relocate your MAF and you won't have to worry about using that hole. That's my plan anyways

We might try to do something like this after fitment is addressed. :thumbs-up:

[Mazdaspeed989]

That would be great if you guys did that to order so we wouldn't have to worry about making the cuts ourselves/having the equip to do so.

sawz-all and grinders are some of the funnest tools to own Evar.

The piping was routed the way it was because we felt it would be the best way to accomodate other changes.

[hoindawall]

sub

[kazson]

im really looking forward to this...they even sent me a email telling me it was gonna be delayed a litte bit...nice service

[cthomp21]

Any updates?

The CS website says the kit will be available in May 2006.

Just sitting here waiting patiently.....

[CorkSport]

With the delay due to re-tooling and plans for an additional modification to the kit we are way behind on getting this out.
We are currently exploring a few options to make a limited initial run as soon as possible.
Thanks for your patience.

[evilmonkeyMSP]

hooray :p

[Mazdaspeed989]

Any Updates?

[Notorious_V.I.C]

bump for peoples interest

[CorkSport]

The re-tooling for the pipes is done. We are expecting the new pipes next month for test fitting.
For those that are still interested thanks for your patience. Price range has not changed $700 + or -

[Rally Ninja]

If you need a car to test fit it. Give me a call or PM =)

[Mazdaspeed989]

sweetness...can't wait...but for that price i will

[Maxx Mazda]

I just got mine last week. Nice pieces.

[UnNaturalinc]

I just got mine last week. Nice pieces.

What are you talking about?

[evilmonkeyMSP]

somebody didnt read the thread...

[Maxx Mazda]

somebody didnt read the thread...

Ya, I got a Corksport FMIC. Just buy that and some pipes from MAM that's what I did. WAY cheaper and easier.

[UnNaturalinc]

You mean you bought the Intercooler from them... not the MSP kit.

The kit has not been made yet and that is what this thread is about.

[dirtysouth_msp]

What MAM pipes will fit which Corksport FMIC (core size)? Or did you mean SMIC?

[Maxx Mazda]

What MAM pipes will fit which Corksport FMIC (core size)? Or did you mean SMIC?

Just by the Corksport FMIC that's 24x6x3.5 core and get the MAM piping kit. That's what I've got.

[Maxx Mazda]

You mean you bought the Intercooler from them... not the MSP kit.

The kit has not been made yet and that is what this thread is about.

I know, so since it hasn't been made yet, it's cheaper just to buy their core and get the MAM piping kit. The Corksport FMIC has the outlets atthe bottom, whereas the MAM core is centered, but it won't matter.

[dirtysouth_msp]

OK, found the IC. But, MAM does not list the FMIC pipes by themselves, only SMIC pipes. How much did they charge you for the pipes alone?

[khaosman]

OK, found the IC. But, MAM does not list the FMIC pipes by themselves, only SMIC pipes. How much did they charge you for the pipes alone?

I'm curious as well... did you get the SRI as well? /me plans my IC setup

[Maxx Mazda]

You can get just the pipes from their Sleeper or Thumper kit.

[Rally Ninja]

Good luck getting one from MAM. Im still waiting for them to reply to my PM on 3/19/06 about the piping.

[Notorious_V.I.C]

Try e-mailing them too, or PM Beau again. They are busy, but it is wourth the wait. OR just wait for the CS FMIC....the choice is yours...just be paitent

[Maxx Mazda]

Or, just buy Vick's FMIC and get some pipes!

[Notorious_V.I.C]

Or, just buy Vick's FMIC and get some pipes!

Yeay yea! For sure, that is a greaat idea, cause its from MAM. If interested I have a FS thread. Sorry to thread jack.

[orangeade]

i've been waiting forever for this kit to come out....anyone know what's going on with it? is it still being made at all?

[Rally Ninja]

Just wait a lil longer......I think there is only 1 more thing to do.

[210_ZOOM]

subn

[Notorious_V.I.C]

bump for new info even though I'm not gonna get a FMIC

[CorkSport]

We made a slight change to the kit after test fitting last month. We expect to test fit again in the next few weeks. If it looks good we will begin production.
Once again, thanks for your patience guys.
Big thanks to Ben and Don for letting me steal their cars and tear them apart.

[210_ZOOM]

will there be a GB? discount for x number of first sold?

[CorkSport]

will there be a GB? discount for x number of first sold?
Once everything is in place and the kits are in production we will be offering something up. I don't want to get ahead of myself after some of the hold ups we have had with this product.

[MSpeed2397]

Get them shits out there.

[orangeade]

how about now?

[Rally Ninja]

I'm as anxious as you are man(nailbyt). Its the same issue as before thats delaying it. That and CS had my old # when they called for test fitting. My bad(sssh)

[evilmonkeyMSP]

Corksport has logged on since the beggining of Dec...what gives?

[khaosman]

I thought they scrapped this project. Interesting!

I have a CS FMIC in my basement right now... it is sexy! I'd love to buy some pipes to go with it.

[UnNaturalinc]

You mean you have just an intercooler from them.....




The project is still underworks. The fab shop is sucking for production. They tested fitted the last pipe prototype on my car just a couple weeks ago.

Where's Travis been?

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I dont know...he's been MIA since 12/9

[Rally Ninja]

He's probably having way too much fun in his MS3

[Nextruss]

bumper!

[210_ZOOM]

glad to see we are moving along.

[MSpeed2397]

C'mon yo, hop on this!

[UnNaturalinc]

He's probably having way too much fun in his MS3

He's too cool for the Protege guys now... heh

[MSpeed2397]

Well how did the kit feel? Can you give us any details on it?

[UnNaturalinc]

Well how did the kit feel? Can you give us any details on it?

huh?

[tehturbo]

wow, this thing has taken a long time to get moving. My dad's shop built a custom IC S/C kit for the Porsche 928 in 8 weeks. It's the best and most reliable setup ever made for the V8s. Never had any problems with over 200 cars with the kit, some with over 100k miles running 12psi on a stock 10:1 motor.

[MSpeed2397]

Sorry if my question was worded poorly, but basically what I was asking was how did the car feel with the CS intercooler kit on there? Any better or worse than any other kit?

It did not fit... it is not done.

[gone_fishin]

Ben, I called HPF yesterday and asked to speak with you to order some parts. Didn't realize you left until now. How come you left?

[UnNaturalinc]

Long story.... dramatic business politics crap yada yada. My manager was a dipshit is what it came down to. Blah blah blah. Everyone says that though, right? ;)

I'm happier now, donig more of what I want... Media type stuff (video, photo, promotion, design, etc). Being able to impliment more of my ideas.

Still in the same industry though... Unfortunately this is all I can really do and make money at this point. Been working with the whole aftermarket parts thing for near 7 years now. :-O

I'm sure they were sad to see you go. You were the main connection between Mazda Forums and HPF, hope that doesn't mean the connection is severed forever. Best of luck on your new endeavors, I'm sure you'll be successful. If you're passionate about something, success usually follows.

[UnNaturalinc]

I doubt they were sad.... they fired me. :) I knew it was coming though, I already had my desk packed. hehe


I'm working on getting an online store setup now.

[MSpeed2397]

Sorry to hear about your job man, but I figured when you said they test fit the last pipe prototype that the test pipes fit and worked...my bad

[503MSP]

I would donate my car here for the next 2 weeks for testing since I cant drive and can barely walk but my dad is using it.

[UnNaturalinc]

Just to clear things up.....

I help CorkSport with product R&D (I use to work there), and was then selling CS products through HorsepowerFreaks (where I no longer work). I will probably be selling their stuff again through where I work now.

I do graphic/video/promotion work for another shop in town.... I'm kind of a shop whore. :-/

[evilmonkeyMSP]

lol the question still remaind.....where the fuck is travis? LMAO

[tricky]

Is this a lost cause?

[Rally Ninja]

No not lost yet. My car is going in mid May or so for another round of test fitting.

[evilmonkeyMSP]

why the hell cant travis log on anymore?

[210_ZOOM]

man this needs to come thru.

[orangeade]

i know i'm still waiting for this......hopefully it happens this summer.......

[503MSP]

I dropped by CS the other week and he wasn't there either. One of the guys there said he's been in hiatus(sp) there too

[evilmonkeyMSP]

lol i guess he got that MS3 and just disappeared

[mazdagt]

any updates on if and when this kit will be coming out??

[Rally Ninja]

Last I was told, they were going to test fit at the end of May..........

[dirtysouth_msp]

They have been pushing this back for over a year now...

[UnNaturalinc]

I'll have to ask Derrick more about it. They had my car for a couple days last week trying to make a new set of pipes work.

[orangeade]

i'm getting anxious on this.........i'd like to support a somewhat local company that put's time/effort into our cars........but they're making it hard at this point......still holding on but don't know for how long.........

[Speed3.5]

I think in july is supposed to come out but then again you never know.
i just want to see the pipes route cuz i'm in process of doing my own .

[orangeade]

i've waited this long as others have as well....july isn't that far off......any one with official news?

[210_ZOOM]

and hopefully it works with HKS SSQV recirulating setup. Any advice on which pipe would best be used for the BOV? Cold/hot pipe?

[pluto316]

Cold pipe as close to the throttle body as possible for the BOV to be recirculated after the MAF on the intake pipe.

/thread

[orangeade]

well it's july.........anyone have any idea if we're any closer at getting our hands on it yet?

[03spicyspeed]

ya i got the prototype and installed it and will put up pics as soon as i can. with my mods i got 2 more pounds of boost. they got it on there web site now to

[magnumP5]

ya i got the prototype and installed it and will put up pics as soon as i can. with my mods i got 2 more pounds of boost. they got it on there web site now to
Please post pics! I'm curious... does this only work with the shorter MSP radiator and condensor? I really don't like how my current MAM is setup.

[03spicyspeed]

i have the stock side mount still there and its not in the way at all. so u can run the shorter MSP radiator and condensor or a bigger radiator

[magnumP5]

Ok good. I'm staring at the pic on CS's website trying to make sense of where everything goes. Seems like some parts are missing?

[03spicyspeed]

the mounting tabs and the nuts and bolts arn't there but thats the rest of it

[magnumP5]

the mounting tabs and the nuts and bolts arn't there but thats the rest of it
Ok so there is no intake side to this. Well, I'll wait for pics - they should answer most of my questions.

[03spicyspeed]

i used my injen intake

[Maxx Mazda]

My MAM kit came with an intake, but no other FMIC kit did afaik. It would be nice for CS to include the one piece of pipe and a cone filter.

[khaosman]

Oh bad ass... I wonder if they'd sell just the pipes since I have that core.

[Speed3.5]

over priced imo, the routing is the same as that kid that made how to: DIY FMIC kit so nothing new on this one and still too many coupling .

[210_ZOOM]

Is there any chance of a GB discount? Can this be configured to work with my existing HKS SSqv setup. I mean could there be a flange welded on prior 2 shipping out?

[orangeade]

can someone post a link to the pics on CS's website.....i've gone thru it but don't see it.....

[mspHtown]

can someone post a link to the pics on CS's website.....i've gone thru it but don't see it.....

thats a true fuckin story, i cant find it on their website either.

[03spicyspeed]

its in there under the msp section and yes they can weld on a diffrent flange i belive for a bov

[khaosman]

about a 1/3rd the way down http://corksport.com/store/category/66ax/MSP.html

[magnumP5]

If this'll make the FMIC look anything like khaosman's then I'm in! I'd just have to modify it for a relocated MAF and this time around I'd probably just get a BOV flange - less vacuum line than my current setup. Still awaiting installed pics!

[Arok22]

Hey, does anyone have any info, or more news on the Corksport front mount intercooler kit, that is suposably in development for the MSP? I was just wondering.

thanks,
Ian

I just emailed Derick at Corksport the other day. He told me that the pipes are out at the bender and will be ready in August. Their first run was going to be 50. I too am awaiting to fill my front grill with intercooler joyness!!(drive)

[210_ZOOM]

can we talk em into a GB on this?

[orangeade]

SAHWEET.......i'm in......if there's a GB price then even better.......oh, and a set of the MM inserts as well please.

[Rally Ninja]

hmmm wonder if they will ever call me about this again....

[magnumP5]

I'm beginning to think this will not work with the P5 radiator and condensor - just based upon where the piping is routed on the driver's side. Either that, or there is a lot of cutting involved.

EDIT: have any pics of how the piping is routed on the driver's side near the radiator and whatnot?

[Maxx Mazda]

I'm beginning to think this will not work with the P5 radiator and condensor - just based upon where the piping is routed on the driver's side. Either that, or there is a lot of cutting involved.


Look man, he still has his stock SMIC in. It will work with the P5 setup. My MAM kit fit beautifully (kind of irrelivent, but it has the same routing as this kit.)

[Greensleeper]

Mmmm, tasty!

Maybe i'm dumb by I doesn't understant de routing of the BPV... Where does it plug on the cold pipe?

[magnumP5]

Look man, he still has his stock SMIC in. It will work with the P5 setup. My MAM kit fit beautifully (kind of irrelivent, but it has the same routing as this kit.)
Really? My MAM is routed through the hole in the driver's side so we must have a different setup (I have the MSP replacement). Either way, I really like how this kit is setup. I'd just have to modify it a little for my use (BOV flange, cut for relocated MAF, etc.). Can't wait for this to come out.

[pluto316]

This actually came out pretty good. :)

Man, that kit looks sweet! Was it a direct bolt-on, no cutting, welding or anything? How's the quality?

[210_ZOOM]

So what's up with the GB?

[Rally Ninja]

Man, that kit looks sweet! Was it a direct bolt-on, no cutting, welding or anything? How's the quality?

When they test-fitted one of the prototypes on mine they cut up some of the car.

[210_ZOOM]

someone told me you should keep the turbo manifold shield on. It generates too much heat. Those shots look sweet. Is there a rep from corksport seeing this thread? Can someone ask if we could generate a GB? I want to get an idea of cost w/ options specific to me.

[daonly1around]

group buy would be sweet, esp if i can keep my stock radiator.

[03spicyspeed]

yes u do have to cut a little i have to take my bumper off again tonight and ill try to get some pics of where u cut on here tomarrow or late tonight

[vangj01]

I'd be interested in buying one of these kits; but it also depends on what needs to be cut. GB would be really nice!

Ya I got the piping from the Sleeper kit, and used the same Corksport core as they include in their kit (above.) And It routes down and around the sides, so I could keep my big PWR rad.

[503MSP]

the IC seems to be a bit low, but the kit looks nice though

[Maxx Mazda]

I have the same IC core and mine is mounted even a bit higher than that it seems. I butted it right up to the rebar, so it's as high as it'll go...

[503MSP]

so i called CS yesterday and talked to them about the FMIC kit, and I guess it works with the stock air box too well kinda... they are turning the space where the SMIC currently sits into a ram air intake. So if I ever get my money I will be getting this kit.

[cbr600rx7]

IF IT EVER COMES OUT.lol

[orangeade]

IF IT EVER COMES OUT.lol

i must admit i was getting skeptical about this as well....but with actual proof now i can almost taste it.

Cool, I was hoping it was just minor trimming on the bumper. Thanks for the quick reply w/ pic.

[daonly1around]

can we get some pictures of how its routed. it seems like the pipes will have to be really close to the ground...

[dirtysouth_msp]

Cool, I was hoping it was just minor trimming on the bumper. Thanks for the quick reply w/ pic.

That is only minor trimming, lol...

[4drboost]

So did we figure out if it will work with the stock radiator? Intake? Ive heard yes and no.

[Lodivigo]

http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x56/specka86/DSCI0078.jpg (http://photobucket.com)


I think it will will let you use the bigger stock radiator. If you look at this pic you can see that the stock smic is still in place. If that's still there then the piping has to go around it somehow. People with MSPs can either leave the smic there or upgrade to the bigger P5 radiator.

[daonly1around]

whats this?

[Lodivigo]

Looks like a piping extension that allows you to use the stock BPV.

[S.A.MSP]

This is the CS 24x6x3.5 FMIC with custom stainless tubing

Looks pretty clean. Well done. How do you like the FMIC vs your old smic.

[daonly1around]

is that how low the piping will sit with the cork sport piping? if so i dont know if i want in on this, seems like it would scrape REALLY easy... can someone post a pic of the corksport without the front bumper on

[Maxx Mazda]

Your bumper will scrape before the pipes will.

[magnumP5]

if ths CS is anything like that it looks good.

[mp5_tunerx]

where is the BOV or did you keep teh bpv?

TB bov? the maf? did your relocated your maf ?

any stalling issuess?

[Lodivigo]

His MAF is in the stock location, he is also using the stock BPV with a BOV too I think.

[03spicyspeed]

sorry ive been busy and havent put the pics of wut u need to cut on here yet and the pipes dont sit as low as those do

[S.A.MSP]

i love the front mount, soooooo much more pull, i'm running a dual valve setup and the MAF is still in the stock location, no stalling problems, while we were building and putting on the tubing i was worried about how low the are, the neighborhood i live in is filled with 6" high speed bumps so when i came to first one my heart was pumping but it made it over fine, it doesn't scrape coming out my driveway either, i don't park all the way forward in parking lots cause my car is lowered, i am still very carefull though, thank you for all the compliments guys, total the kit cost me $630, so so worth it!!!

[CorkSport]

I don't have any good pictures of the path the intercooler pipes take. The pipes go around the end of the core support on each side instead of under it so they are not visible from the front of the car.

[S.A.MSP]

Do you need to cut holes for the piping?

[CorkSport]

Do you need to cut holes for the piping?


Yes, you do. The point for the factory hold downs bolt up is where the piping passes. You have to un-bolt them and trim a 1/2 circle shape there. You also have to trim a section of the plastic under tray in the other half of the circle for the piping to pass.

It really isnt much trimming though.

These work?

[khaosman]

Nice! Is this kit entirely mandrel bent (i.e. not sectioned) for optimal flow? Secondly, would you be willing to sell just the pipes and couplers? I have your IC core already but my piping is a little yucky :) Send me a private message if you want! Thanks

[CorkSport]

We used mandrel bent piping for the kit. You can kind of see some mandrel bent sections had to be welded together because the bends are impossible to make in one piece for the machine.

[S.A.MSP]

That looks really good, my pipes are sectioned too, bends where we could put them but welded to get tighter bends, the guy who did mine is an amazing fabricator and i just have to bragg about the welds he lays, nickel welds man, he doesn't use a welding rod, i do like the corksport kit you offer tho, i just couldn't wait so i had to have it customized :)

[mp5_tunerx]

noo cuttting damn it

[fuglymonkie]

any dyno on this yet?

[S.A.MSP]

any dyno on this yet?

i got a dyno just before i put my kit on and i got 230whp, i put on the kit and it pulled damn hard so i guesstimate i got another 30-35hp

[dirtysouth_msp]

noo cuttting damn it


Even the HiBoost kit requires trimming of the back of the polymer bumper, no big deal. Some kits require cutting of the metal...

[210_ZOOM]

there is a GB on this......FYI
http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123676839

[mp5_tunerx]

well yes trimmin is fine! ahha no cutting ahhahah

uhh how much gain on stock boost? or does it just cooler it down faster?

[BlueWolfCry]

wow that looks freakin nice! Dumbass question, if I had this kit and ever upgraded a turbo so that it sat straight instead of slanted, would it no longer work? It's just one pipe that would need to be modified correct? for 700 thats a freakin deal!

[stlrollin6]

does the kit come with a bov?

[stlrollin6]

do u guys think the hiboost or the cs fmic would give me more power gain? and does the cs work with the stock intake?

[03spicyspeed]

i belive it will work with ur stock intake and u can use ur stock bpv or a aftermaket one

[03spicyspeed]

some pics of the mounting and holes u must cut <br><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x56/specka86/DSCI0010.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x56/specka86/DSCI0009.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x56/specka86/DSCI0003.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>

[stlrollin6]

which on will give more power gains though hiboost or cs

[03spicyspeed]

i really cant say. i know with my mods i gained 2psi and my cars feels alot faster with the corksport front mount. i think it all comes down to wut u like and i love this one

[mp5_tunerx]

will we be able to get the silicone couplers in black instead of blue?

Yep, via extra charge. Pm Corksport.

They can weld any flange you want, anywhere you want, just pm them. Extra charge, of course.
