FMIC and stock turbo?

[mitsugsx95]

I was just wonderinf if a FMIC would help if i syill had the stock
turbo. Will there be too much pressure drop and get turbo lag? Any input would be helpful on how to make it faster w/out adding a new turbo yet.( I have already done all the free mods and if you check out my profile, i've got good supp mods). What kind of FMIC should i get?
I heard that the Starion FMIC sucks.

"Will there be too much pressure drop and get turbo lag? "

yes there will be a pressure drop, the T25 really doesnt flow enough air that a FMIC helps it all that much.

So what would you think the best IC setup w/ the t25 is? Stay with the stock IC or uprade to a larger sidemount?

Depending on which turbo you plan on running in the future, you can either buy it now or after. If you're leaning towards a 16G or equivalent you can buy the fmic after the turbo and run the turbo on the stock ic for a while. But if you're planning on a huge turbo, you mine as well buy the fmic now and just deal with the additional lag, and being laughed at when you tell everyone you have a T25 and a Front mount

No sense in upgrading the stock ic on a 2g as long as you're running the T25

If the intercoolers not the answer, then what would you say is a good wasy to beef up my T-25? I heard that if you clip your turbo about 10deg. its faster, but messes with the spool at high rpms. Anything on that?

Just get up some money send off the t-25 and get a Big28. No use in messing with the t-25 it just brings headaches. Thats my opion at least.

The t-25 is a waste of time but if your intent on making the most of it you can always port it. I ported mine and it did help some. It spooled faster and had a LITTLE more top end. Get an o2 eliminator and a feul pump.

Why is it good to replace your O2 housing? I know a good deal about DSM's ( did most of the mods to the car myself) and how everything works. I am just starting to look into the turbo manifolds and the o2 housings but dont know a lot yet. Why would the o2 housing help? More exuast flow? faster spool?

 

[greathuskie]

cant you just port it instead of buying a new one?
