Did you see higher coolant temps after the FMIC install? I'm about to either pull the trigger on the ETS TMIC or FMIC. I track the car and a FMIC would sandwich my oil cooler creating essentially a 3 stack; rad, oil cooler, fmic. I'm guessing you also lost that OEM foam ducting once installed yea? Anything you'd suggest doing, prior to installing the FMIC (Fitment wise or whatever)? Seems like adding the FMIC would def make it harder to duct the rad/oil cooler to the bumper

Maybe i am asking the obvious here but this seems to be a hot topic with the FMICs,. Why not go ETS cold air intake, vs chopping op the box on the cobb. Trying to find the right combo on my 13 STI, and folks are all over the place. If you have any insight on why hang on to box SF intake and carving it up, vs just using the Cold air that would have been less of an issue i would greatly appreciate that point of view!!
@Smeedia 4 жыл бұрын
In washington state it rains ALOT and sometimes puddles can get deep. To minimize the chance the hydro locking my engine I avoid cold air intakes as they sit pretty low in the fender well. Plus with the car being on bags my fender liners are a little torn. So I prefer the short ram intake to keep it away from water. But I have a heat soaking issue, so the Cobb airbox wouldent fit with the FMIC piping so I figured I would give it a try to make it fit. Overall I saw a 10 degree drop in IAT temps using the cut up box over not using one at all 😁

@jameskocks4734 3 жыл бұрын
@@Smeedia right nil because im saving up. the cost of headers with install is almost the same as the fmic from ets without labor. im still curious what the next sti going to be. if the rumors are true and its not ugly id be tempted to trade up because i have 25k on the odometer and its paid off and it will less than 50k when that sti comes out one day. or for less build the motor do the sti transmission conversion put brakes and call it day, but that will be about 20k. either way i have time.

The Killer B header for the QRX is pretty expseinve because you've got 2 EWGs to plumb and buy. In ny suggestion I would get a intercooler before the headers
