that looks good, ill have that.

 

Great timing !! hopefully soon after releace of the FMIC ill be giving a call to schedule an isntall and Tune, hopefully you have the Cobb V3 accessports in stock.

( as an OT are you able to adjust a tune for the Intake Runner Plates ( http://www.focusst.org/forum/focus-...forum/focus-st-performance/9096-intake-runner-plate-improve-power-response.html ) ? )

 

Tube and Fin? Is it still 6" deep?

 

Specs and more details will be posted closer to the release date. We just wanted to give you guys an update and let you know we didn;t forget about you guys!

 

Thanks. I hope you guys publish a "white paper" on this. I love reading that stuff!

 

What a great day with my CP-E intake and downpipe shipping and now this.

I see it uses the factory piping. Is there any benefit to getting new piping or does the stock stuff work just fine?

 

In. I guess I'm getting all cp-e. I already got my stage 2 mount kit waiting to go on

Sure does look good. Definitely interested on price and reviews!

 

Wow, wow, I want.

 

What's the "turbulence reducer"?

 

Im guessing a baffle to distribute air more evenly, but im only guessing(see Fig. C). Kinda like the design i have in mind.

 

saw it on fb. pretty pumped, except i wont have the money for it for a LONG time.

 

CP-E you guys still working on intercooling piping? Last I saw was a tease with a HKS bov and nice race red painted hard pipes. Rolling out in the near future?

Hopefully I'm not getting anyone in trouble here, but it turns out there were a few unprotected directories for another host of that image... enjoy the pre-release goodness This looks like my favorite so far!

WOW That looks WAAAAAAAAAAY too thick. Honestly 3" should be max. I cant see how that is anymore efficient than its 3" counterpart.

 

End tanks play large role is how effective an intercooler is. Notice OE end tanks, where ends come off nearly flat with top surface - that is optimal. Sharp angle of end tank to intercooler does not promote good flow.

Other option to to use "backdoor" design and just dump the air into end tank and use resulting turbulence to distribute air across the voids. You need turbulence for heat exchange to take place. Flow will be function of area vs pressure differential.

This is "backdoor" type intercooler end tank arrangement. This also gives you nice surface to install BOV on the end tank.

Good reading & pics - illustrates just how complex CFD can be and how designs that look like they don't work (pinched pipes, etc) actually perform well. For boku bucks being charged for some of these interccolers, I fully expect a matching CFD analysis .

Exactly why I am having baffles installed.

 

I'll be all over that. :redspotdance:

 

Holy massive core, that is the thickest setup I have ever seen! Good thing the radiator can still get air from above, because no way that core is sharing anything through it lol.

 

Alpha Performance Porsche Alpha 9 Package

Not that far off, here's 5.5" cores

 

Similar IC design here, works great for the 951 guys. Merkur guys are also running these in similar configuration to the OEM Cossie cores. Having a thick core isn't bad if it's designed properly. You can see the end tank work these guys do on the stock 951 ICs to make them flow much better.

Our endtanks and core have been tested, re-tested, reengineered, tested and re-tested multiple times to get our FMIC to where it is now. We are happy that our product has generated so much interest. Keep your eye out closer to release for some solid test results, but as for now discuss on

 

Can't wait to see an install.

Probably has 'custom' brackets.....?

If not, it's genuine bolt-on that would be awesome.

I would think so because the weight of that intercooler as a whole is going to be heavier than all on the market at the moment.

 

Hey guys, my car is one of the test vehicles running this front mount and I don't know how much I can say, but I can confirm that there is no change in spool with with this core.

I was a little afraid that this core would cause a serious pressure drop, but the changes have only been positive. The charge air temps are way, way down, and the car actually picked up horsepower and torque even on the stock tune. I'm really impressed with the build quality, fitment, and performance with this core so far.

 

Why would you think the core would cause a pressure drop?

 

Mountune intercooler is backdoor design :RockOn:

 

CP-E - You have me at the cast end tanks. I have been preaching for a while that someone needs to make a FMIC with cast end tanks and you show up with this...

Questions for you and the team:

- No vehicle modifications - Does that mean no shutter removal either?
- Can you share mounting point details?
- Are you running stock pipes on the test cars or a prototype?
- What is release ETA?

Just curious...

 

the shutters are removed

as far as i know the mounting points are the same as stock.

 

Because of the 'volume'.

 

Lol sorry **** as in raccoon.... we have alot of them in Iowa and they are about the size of a dog.
