Well I can't hear my type s, ever.

The 3065 and open 02 are so loud.

Silly question, but would'nt the T25 work a lot more due to the bigger volume space in the FMIC? Just wondering!

Wrong, you will need a jpipe. If you don't already have one for your 2g w/16g turbo. If you do have one, some cutting will be required like mangina said.

I percieved his question as "what will I need to buy in addition to a j-pipe".

[thewraith]

Oh, well in that case you're correct

Yes, you will experience some turbo lag over the stock SMIC as it will take more time to fill the IC/pipes before it reaches the throttle body

[sYnOnYx]

Mine really only lags maybe 100-200rpms more than the stock sidemount.......

i really felt a good diffrence with my 2G SSAC FMIC kit.

[kawboy]

That is mostly because of the intercooler pipes

They dont pinch down to some smalll ass size like the stock pipes do, and they are also not rubber whcih expands under boost (boost drop)

[keeley52]

when buying a fmic or any mod for that matter buy for what you have planned. if you plan on going low to moderate boost, SS auto chrome sells a cheap fmic for a 1g or 2g, it comes with the core, piping, couplers, t bolts and a uicp with fake tial. ive heard they have problems with the welds breaking under big boost but never experienced it personally. only problem with a cheap fmic is you usually have to trim the pipes and stuff to get a clean look. if you want to go big boost i would say check out buschurracing.com or extremepsi.com, they have a good selection of fmic

Welds don't bust

The SSAC 2g was proven to handle fairly high horsepower levels with no signs of failure.

But yes, it does require some custom work for a "good" fitment.

You may want to rephrase that. Anything can potentially fail - even magic welds.

[kawboy]

When I said Welds dont bust, I was talking in terms of the SSAC

What I meant was "The welds on the SSAC aren't known to bust"

But I didn't take the time to fully phrase it, and of course anything is possible, but it shouldn't happen with your average dsm setup

Is it pointless and most likely less productive if I put at front mount with my t25?

[kevspyder]

I have a 98 gsx with a 50 trim turbo, I read about 10 pages and got tired... Anyone have a review on this FMIC?

There are actually a whole bunch of people on this forum with that kit.

no, it'll increase power slightly, though with greater lag. the important thing is you'll have it for when you upgrade, if indeed thats what you'll wanna do in the future.

Yeah I think it's the way to go, I've read through a few peoples reviews, it seems your customer service is great and you've answered all my questions.

I disagree. If you are still on the stock T25, you will not benefit at all from an upgraded FMIC. The only reason I'd ever consider the SSAC kit is if I know that I will be upgrading to a larger turbo soon and I've run out of supporting mods to do (besides UICP/LICP). At that point, an FMIC would be the next logical choice, otherwise you're going to have that T25 blowing it's hot air into a ship instead of a fishing boat.

[thewraith]

I also disagree, if you have a t-25 you will see a noticeable loss of power due to more pressure needing to be built with the bigger piping and the increased surface area.
