Okay so I have a DBW car, and I am about to buy an intercooler off of a guy that has a nDBW car... I know there is a difference in the FMIC... I think one of them has a hole for something, and the other doesn't. I'd like to know the exact difference, and to know if I can modify this one to work on my car. BTW it's a Racetec FMIC.

Thanks in advance guys!

 

you will need to buy a map flange an dhave it welded on. thats why dbw cars can run w/o a maf.

Holy crap... points for the new guy!

Haha I really appreciate that man... welcome to the forums, and thanks for the help! I was worried that it was going to be an issue big enough that I wouldn't want to buy this intercooler... but for 25 bucks and a little welding, I think I'm golden!

 

lol not a problem. i just came across it bc im makin my own FMIC bc no one makes a big enough one for my setup im building

 

Hmm, sounds interesting! So you're going big turbo on a DBW car? What are your plans?

 

well its in the shop right now gettin it done. ill be runin microtech standalone, 720cc, high flow fuel rail, gt40, equal length, 3" exhaust, hks bov, 24x12x3 FMIC, walbro 304 intank, walbro 255 in line, 38mm tial, ebc, forged rods and 9.0:1 forged pistons. i made a bet with someone that i could break 12's by sept for a 100 bux haha

 

jesus, thats alot of money to drop for a $100 bet :P

 

haha dude, i bet you'll rock 11's....double or nothing!!

 

meh atleast ill have a badass car and an extra 100 bux to take the ladies out with [8D] i dont know about double or nothing. id prob need some nitrous to help spool this beast which i probally will end up throwing a 100 shot kit on there later on

 

for sure! I just think it's amusing that it was a bet that pushed you to do it
