this is the question for the guy that sold his eclipse.....where did u get that manifold imorted from japan from. and is that a 6 cyl or a 4 cyl?
Well as I said it had the EVO setup, which means it would have to be a 4cyl. I got the manifold the turbo and the o2 housing from a guy out in japan. Since I told him it will work in these cars he started a website called powerhousejimbo . com shipping took a few months

Yes you can get a fmic that will flow just as much cfm's but it wont cool the intake charge temp down the same.
I did mention it and what is better, colder air, or hotter air? The point I was trying to make was why go with a smic, which has limited size due to limited space, when you can go with a fmic that can get more surface to air and cool the charge temp more. The point of an inter cooler is to cool air not to increase the cfm's. If that was the case why not run a stright pipe. I under stand that bigger is not always better but a correct combo of size between the turbo and the intercooler is what is curcial. Sure you could go with a huge fmic but if not matched up with the right kind of turbo it wont do ****. If you really feel strong that smic's are better then fmic's than I think you should go around to everyone with a fmic and tell them why they are wrong.

nobody is wrong for having a fmic. fmic can flow very well, im not saying that they can't. im just saying that the comment, "FMIC all the way, flows a **** load better and wont get heat soaked. " is incorrect. you pretty much said a FMIC is better than a SMIC intercooler, which is incorrect. a well designed SMIC is just as good, some even better, than FMIC.
just as clarification, the size of the intercooler has NOTHING to do with the amount of cooling that it does. just b/c its big doesn't mean that its going to cool the air more than a smaller one.
