Fmic Pix

[VAmazdaspeed]

AFTER READING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FMIC AND SOME OF THE PROBLEMS ON THIS FORUM I FIGURED I WOULD ANSWERE SOME QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU ASK THEM.

1. Do I have any overheating problems?
* No, the tempereature guage is the same as it was before the FMIC
2. What BOV do u have?
* Greddy TYPE-S
3. DO you still have the "TURKEY?"
* No, I have the BOV recirculating into the intake and it sounds just like the GREDDY TYPE-S is supposed to sound.
4. How much did you pay for it?
*$800.000 which includes the Greddy core, custome SRI, piping, and labor.
5. Any "lag" or boost drop.
*No the car pulls much more clean and I the fuel cut is much much less then before.

I ADDED MORE PIX, BUT THOSE ARE ONES BEFORE THE FMIC. ITS JUST A BUNCH OF PIX OF MY FRIENDS AND I WITH OUR MINI BEACH CRUZ.

There was a little bit of cutting done to the bumper support. the core is
28"X 9"X 3".

[Black Majik MSP]

Does the cutting you had to do in any way affect the safety of the car in a head-on collision?

The bumper support is still there. About 1.5-2 inches was cut so that the core would fit. I would think that the cars safety should be a different.

[Protege2K]

Whoops. Left out of the sentance that the speed of the crash was about 20mph.

[Little Beavis]

Looks great. . .any chance they might sell a similar setup to other people?

I like that it fills that area and isn't "hidden" by parts of the bumper like other kits.

First, the intercooler looks nice, good work...

Second... the gas prices look even nicer! very jealous. Most places around here are $2.53+ for 91 octane :'(

[MSPinVA]

Whereabouts in VA are you? Maybe I could see this setup up close and personal....

[skilletrx]

[sickspeed94]

Thanks and good job :)

[1FASTMSP]

yeah, more pics, but you already knew i wanted to see that...

[Notorious_V.I.C]

bump, for pics, price and etc.......

[hello2000]

It looks good!!! Do you have dyno's for that FMIC? The gas is cheaper here.

:D

[FunkyCold5]

VAmazdaspeed,

Where in VA are you from? You have to check out the VA community board. We have an upcoming Install Party in Northern Virginia, if that's where you are at. I saw a similar blue MSP with a FMIC along Arlington Blvd a while, back, but if you just got that, I'm sure it was someone else that isn't in this board.

I'm looking for a local custom shop to get stuff for my ride. NOVAMSP has a killer setup, you guys gotta compare, cuz I want to decide which way to go. Give us more pics, prices, and location. Awesome FMIC!!!!!!!!!!

I live out in VA Beach. I paid $800 for the whole set up. The core is made from Greddy and the piping was done at Millenium Autosports in Norfolk. Its about 20 min from Va Beach. Give me more details about any meet ups that you guys may have in VA. Thanks for the input guys, im going to try and take some picture from under the hood when I get some time.

Im waiting for my downpipe to come in. I have the apex cat back on already. Once the downpipe comes in im going to head out to Holeshot performance and get the car dyno. Im very happy with the results of the FMIC. I would suggest that everyone try and get one. Thanks

I like that it fills that area and isn't "hidden" by parts of the bumper like other kits.Im not sure that they will sell a setup for the MSP. All I know is that these people can do some really nice fabrications with a FMIC. I just went in and asked them if they could make one for the MSP. They were really helpful and did a great job. The shop asked me what core I was looking at and I told him that I like the GREDDY Cores cause they have the polished look. Other than that the piping is similar to the ION kit.

[VAmazdaspeed]

i think i just busted a nut
THESE ARE SOME PIX OF MY FRIENDS NSX WITH HIS FRIENDS WIDE BODY NSX. THEY WENT TO NOPI A FEW WEEKS AGO. THIS IS JUST PIX OF THE MEET UP.

[srtchick]

lookin good ! (thumb)

[1FASTMSP]

bump for pics of the install

[steve_protege]

Since the MSP is almost the same as the standard Pro sedan, but with that little thing called a..... TURBO, how hard would it be to get a custom FMIC installed into the front bumper?

i don't think there is as much room under the regular sedan bumper, but i am sure you could probably fabricate something

[BlkZoomZoom]

Now that would be a sleeper.....a MSP dressed up as a regular protege.....hhhhhmmmmmm
