johnny racecar's fmic, who has one?

[98spydert]

I dont think (atleast I hope) that no one is expecting to be able to run any turbo bigger than a Big 16g with this. But some of the big name large fmic are overkill for us 16g guys so its a good suit.

Isn't a 20G rated at only like 4 lbs/min more than the evo316g? It could probably handle that. But I agree, it's a perfect match for any of the 16G turbos.

Yes, I believe that you are right. And it probably would work with a regular 20g setup, but I would guess that a 20g would max out this IC before the turbo was at full potential. 20g's have went 10's in the 1/4 and I would be very impressed to see someone get this core in the 10's.

I am not downing this core, I have one, just trying to look at it realistically.

Later,

Just throw on some water injection for another couple hundred and it should be able to handle most anything you can throw at it.

am i supposed to be cutting a fairly large piece of material out of the metal brace in the middle of the bumper .... or have i put the intercooler to high or something ..thanks

If you are talking about the fiberglass reinforcement (3mph bumper) than yes you have to hack it up. Look back through all the install pics you will see one of where and how to cut it.

 

[2Quick4You]

No this piece is a steel piece that runs the whole length of the bumper , ive seen the 2g pics but not any 1g pics that have any pics of what your supposed to be cutting .thanks

Ya you have to cut ALOT of the bumper support out. At least on mine I did. Here is the picture of how I mounted the IC so you can see how far down/up it is compared to yours. I dont have a picture of the bumper support but there is alot gone. I used a Sawzall and it worked pretty well.

IC on my Spyder, Still need to finish the piping.
You can see a couple more in my Galleries.

I almost feel obligated to buy one after reading this 24 page thread!! Looks like some good buiss for johnny racecar.

I really dont feel like reading this whole post so, do you guys think that the 2g kit could handle a to4b turbo?

 

[elementalwindx]

Got my "Ion's 2.5" Piping setup" from RRE today, now I am just waiting on the FMIC. I ordered these pipes 2 days after I ordered the fmic, and have yet to even recieve a tracking # from jrc. It'd be nice if the FMIC came in today too.

Most people will say no because it costs too little to actually work right


No but really, no ones knows for sure. There hasn't really been much testing besides the DSMLink numbers Stoner provided and seat of the pants feeling. Only one way to find out

Yep

I'm givin my before and after tho for my t25. and if this guy sells me his super 16g cheap enuf, I'll give ya #'s on that too.

Tyrus replied tonight and also shipped my front mount today. I should be getting it on Monday and hopfully will have it on that day or the next

I'm really glad this FMIC is working out for everyone. I say it's one of the most least expensive mods, and most beneficial for the buck. Keep posting them before/after pics and some dyno numbers, if any....

now i just need to get another job so i can get mine too

 

[b17tuner]

If someone would buy my baby honda 5" jr ic I would be getting mine too..

 

[kevingst]

Based on this thread, I ordered mine yesterday. Now I just get to get all my piping, etc. Probably will get it from RRE since they're so close...gets here in a day. Now I just need to find someone with a welder.

Hey try Honda-tech.com or http://www.turbod16.com/ <--- lots of guys making cheap DIY turbo kits there that would probably buy your I/C. Just post it in the classifieds.

that's scary, looks identicle to mine

 

[Tech9Talon]

Yea it does, but I have a lip to add this spring.

 

[elementalwindx]

that doesn't even look like a jrc ic. it looks bigger than his biggest ic.

 

[1badtsi]

um, look at the dimensions on the core, then go measure a 2gb bumper, and then realize you are wrong

 

[98spydert]

Well considering there are probably half a dozen 2Gbs in this thread with the same I/C filling the same bumper probably means it is the JRC I/C

I don't know who it was that wanted spool up numbers but after fixing all of my leaks but one (the TB shaft seals leak pretty bad but I'm not tackling that until next saturday) I hit 19-20psi at 2900-3000rpm. Decent response. I start building boost right around 2K.

Mods that probably lower my spool time a lot: blow thru maf, tubular O2, and no cat. I also kept the piping pretty small at 2.25" from the J pipe to the intercooler then 2.5 to the throttle body... don't know if that helped at all.
