Thoughts about Porsche 944 FMIC

[sleeper]

I've tried doing a search and there is no info on this at all......

Has anyone tried using the Porsche 944 FMIC???
It looks like a decent front mount......

1. You have no idea of the actual dimension of the intercooler and nothing to compare it to get a scale on the pic

2. Go back and look at the 2-120. the ic is about 4 times taller than the inlet vs the 944s's 2x the heighth

3. It's in the UK

maybe you could find the dimensions on a porsche forum...

small but thick. if its as thick as it looks, it will not fit.

My opinion: too thick to fit and/or too small to be worth it.

Below are some pics of the 944 FMIC that I originally modified for my personal car... which effectively started IRC. The core is 18" wide x 5.5" tall x 5" thick (spearco 2-120 is 24x8x3.5 & 2-178 is 20x8x3.5) This core will fit.. but you'll have to trim the front fascia a bit. This is one of the best stock FMICs out there. But they are fairly expensive to purchase & then to modify to fit correctly.. no way in hell it's gonna fit the way that it comes. The cost to modify one is about $200..

I agree they are very thick and many have used them on very quick cars. I know a guy with a 400whp 300Z that uses one and it has worked great with his setup. Granted he has nitrous, even without it in the AZ heat it works awesome...
