AGP's New blow through translator

[Z1500]

Guy's this is really all the information I am giving out on the new sensor for now. We are still working on this and I don't have answers for you yet. Please stop asking for more info, I gave this much info to clear up some inaccurate rumors going around.
If you have questions about the 2g FMIC kit just e-mail me. The lower pipe comes with a 2” silicone elbow and the transition you see in the pipe is the 2-2.5” adaptor. This is how we are able to keep both stock fans. NO SPALS NEEDED.

Ok now I know why you are using a machined reducer, but why is it necessary. The IRC kit is 2.5" all the way, as with most other kits. Except for the transition piece from the turbo to the lower pipe... it just doesnt appear that it is meant for that... correct me if im wrong.

 

[Z1500]

What are you not understaning? The turbo outlet is 2" and the I/C pipe is 2.5". You have to adapt that up. We do it in the pipe and that lets us keep the stock fans.

no i do understand that, but it didnt look like a 90 deg bend after the reducer part, it looked like the reducer was welded on a straight end of the pipe. oh drr, im a dumbass i think i just figured it out. Youre first bend out of the turbo is 2" then expands to 2.5" after it clears the fan, :smacks self:
what happened to IRC, you guys takin over their market share? looks like they went belly up? There site isnt on line any more

why dont you go to a 3" upper i/c pipe? If you are flowing that much air, a 2.5" pipe may be a slight restriction in youre system, especially with the transistions you got going on for the gm maf.

Yea, IRC had some problems. I hope everthing works out for Ken in the long run. He got stuck in a bad situation.

What you don't see in the pic is the 2" silicone elbow that goes from turbo to pipe.

You wouldn't what to have a 3" upper pipe because the throttle body is too small. You have to neck up then back down.

on a 97 talon... can you keep your fog lights with the 2-216 core installed?

i dont think you could

hey kevin, will there be an option for black pipes, and y dont you just do a 90 degree bend in the pipe instead of a crappy silicone housing. will the kit come with any flang you want and will you make a gm maft pipe

eclipsegsx9797,

Black pipes will not be a problem. That I am sure of as I was inquired as well when I ordered mine.

As someone who runs the kit and for one reason or another has had to work on the car with it both on and off I must say I'm under the impression you don't understand what you are asking for.

Reason being, the strength in the silicone coupler is that it allows for the smallest adjustment when fitting AGP's pipes. With this as you call it 'crappy silicone housing' you have greater flexibility when putting the kit together and accounting for stock fan fitment as it will give if needed.

Based on my opinion, which is based on first hand experience, I would think any type of welding would be a nuisance.

I'd like to hear why you are interested in the welded piece rather than the silicone? Thanks.

By using the silicone elbow off the turbo, it gives customers the flexability to utilize every turbo combination (i.e. RS, SS, PTE, green/red, FP30, T3/T4 kits, etc) that has a 2" outlet. For those running a 2.5" outlet (T04S, TS04, GT37) compressor cover, you'll get a 2.5" ID silicone elbow and you won't have the transistion in the lower pipe.

Every turbo combination available positions the compressor outlet a little different. The silicone elbow simply adds more adjustability.

duh, ever since i went with an accufab tb, i just assume everyone has one... my mistake!

 

[eclipsegsx9797]

i asked about the elbow just in general i was just wondering if they are going to make it sense the fmic is pretty much like irc and irc did make an elbow. hey gsx i just asked for that reason so dont say i dont know what im talking about it was simple ? and thanks to ben for his post hey made a realy good point( so it could fit to any turbo).

well other then all that the fmic and pipes is realy nice. but will they be shipped out quick unlike irc did

eclipsegsx9797,

Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers, just offering my first hand experience and I honestly thought I phrased it in such a way that it was not insulting. My apologies.

But you are right, Ben makes the best point of all ... kinda like he had a hand in the creation of the kit or something :laugh: .

Thanks,

 

[eclipsegsx9797]

its cool gsx, so you like the fmic and do you have any pics of it

Is this a IRC Intercooler or a Intercooler from AGP. I looked at your mods list, so that is why a I am asking.

Threads keep comming up on this subject so I'm just going to explain it a little. We are building a new type of blow though MAF sensor that will work with the MAF Translator box. This sensor will thread into a special flange welded onto your upper i/c pipe and hang down in the air stream. This way you don't have to have your 2.5" i/c pipe hose clamped to a 3" GM sensor. It will be integrated into your pipe. Here's the catch. The size and shape of the pipe is critical to the calibration of the sensor. So we will be selling UIP with this built in. This will also be built into all UIP's of all our new FMIC kits.

Ask away.

in my current situation i am not interested in a full fmic setup, but if this technology works out correctly is there anyway we could buy a piece of this pipe of which the "size and shape of the pipe is critical to the calibration of the sensor". i'm very happy with my homemade 2.5" uicp i have right now, but since i use a nt mas and some other odd parts i could really use a universal setup. is this going to be available??
