Swapping GrimmSpeed TMIC For FMIC

In this video I am replacing my Grimmspeed top mount intercooler on my wrx and replacing it with their front mount setup, and trimming my front bumper to expose more of it. This intercooler is massive and will hold my future power goals much better than the top mount. It also looks great!

Doope. Finally seeing this video. Lol. I ran a killer B tmic for years. Then switched to a ets fmic. Whole vibe of the car changes. Love it. Keep up the solid content!

Congrats man! Great video just made the switch to FMIC, actually in the shop for engine rebuild lol so it's all getting done at once. Please once you get a tune for it, love to see what the HP difference is, and if you notice it driving.

looks nice, i’m thinking to fully commit to changing to a FMIC but want to research abit more before i buy as it’s very expensive here in Australia. please let us know how it goes !

To fill the hole in the center of the bumper, I used a jigsaw and cut a piece of flat black aluminum. It sits on top and looks nice!

I actually made a video after this achieving the same thing using plexiglass. Definitely much better than the gap there.

Nice Vid! Does the FMIC restrict airflow to the radiator? It’s big and covers almost the whole radiator.

@StreetInspired1 3 жыл бұрын

I'm sure it restricts it a little bit, but I haven't noticed any change in coolant temps. But the ac condenser is in front of the radiator and the intercooler goes in front of that but haven't noticed any issue with it!

Can you make a video of the after... performance and specs? How much more hp? To the wheel? Sound? Everything I can't find a video of this

@StreetInspired1 Жыл бұрын

You won't gain any additional power from this without a proper tune and even then it won't do much for adding power but help keep the power you already have. But this is a great upgrade if you plan on big power down the road. As far as sound it will make the turbo spool and and bpv sound a little more noticeable.

Do you have to do a off the shelf tune with the front mount?

@StreetInspired1 3 жыл бұрын

You don't need necessarily need a tune for it but you won't see any power gains with this unless you have other mods and a protune

@spoopdiewoopdie8092 3 жыл бұрын

So you don’t need a protune to convert to front mount ? On the WRX

@StreetInspired1 3 жыл бұрын

No. You won't see any power gains without a tune but you don't need one. Reason I switched was because my top mount wasn't allowing my car to make its full power on the hotter days. The front mount definitely helped with that

@StreetInspired1 3 жыл бұрын

Intake manifold temps are never more than 2-3 degrees above ambient during acceleration. The other day it was 93° and i was sitting at 94° at the manifold during WOT. When it's cooler outside at night when it's down to 70° my manifold temps are 69-71°

@StreetInspired1 3 жыл бұрын

@@davidpolak1431 the front mount doesn't change spool time, boost pressure, or any other monitored parameter. So the car will run exactly the same. You could put one on a completely stock car with no tune and be fine. Re-tuning would just allow for more power to be made with the colder air temps.

Car drove fine without a tune?
