Looking for a FMIC without modifying front rail/support
« on: May 01, 2021, 09:05:55 PM »
I’m looking for suggestions on a 750HP-850HP FMIC. I’m considering a V Mount setup for My radiator due both the turbos position. Keeping the rail and core support intact is very important to me in routing these pipes. I’ve searched a few build threads and every setup is unique, some have fabricated their own.

Any suggestions would be sweet

I’m realizing this is probably a tough question , I have looked at the treadstone IC and other vertical Flows.

I think if you use a vertical flow, you'll have a hard time not modifying the rad support. I have a 12*24" vertical core with the charge pipe over the short 16" tall core radiator and had to remove the radiator support. Are you running single or twin turbos?

Twin. The turbos are low in the bay. I think I’ll have to get the radiator in first and see what I got. The car will have AC Con Also

Here's a shot of my intercooler/rad setup. Also running low mounted twins. FWIW, this is in an FC.

Looks good and definitely close to my plan. Looks like you have a decent amount of space left. My idea is similar (and talking with tictakman) is to use that space between the crank and rad fans as a vmount. If it’s slid back some the top feed intercooler style should flow right into the TB. I’m going to see if I can modify the samberg V2.

The issue I saw when tilting everthing back like that was that you lose space to run proper intakes. I saw a decent increase in injector duty cycle when I went from intakes behind the rad fans to properly ducted intakes that draw air from the bump. It also drove better in traffic and made more consistent power.

You guys are so talented to fit all of that in there!  I look at my NA set up and scratch my head like how the heck are they fitting turbos, ICs, larger Rads, intakes, into this space LOL. 

Great job!
