Expecting FMIC from EPP this week can't wait
 
Been wanting to make this upgrade for a while. Just a couple of questions for those who have. What is the used dual IC system (3.5" ProCharger) worth with aluminum plenum? How much more timing will I be able to run with the cooler air to start with? Will retune in the spring. Only running 7#s for now.Thanks

EPP Feb 10, 2009 06:17 PM

It is on it's way, thanks for the order! It left the shop yesterday.
I have sold the used 3.5" twin intercooler kits for $500.00, STS turbo guys have bought them from me in the past. The alum plenum is worth around $100.00.
You might be able to squeeze another two degrees of timing out of it. Bob

Thanks Bob, 2 degrees can be alot as you know. Parts will be out and ready to sell by weekend. Only have about 10K ,still in mint condition.

It was a polished grill.. I sanded it down and painted it flat black so it would bring out the FMIC more. Cant remember exactly where I got it.

Bob, will there need to be any change to an SD tune after installing this? Do you know where the brackets can be bought to keep the fog lights for a T/A? If IAT's are high on a twin 4.5" setup would you suggest this or meth at 17psi?

B.Buster Feb 12, 2009 06:27 PM

I see the senser. Looks like the stock harness will reach. Thanks.

B.Buster Feb 13, 2009 09:10 PM

I'm hoping it comes tomorrow , got the weekend off .

B.Buster Feb 14, 2009 06:40 PM

It came today and I started install. Should I remove the plastic wall that is between FMIC and radiator so the air flows though , trim it or bend it out of the way. Thanks Bob, it's nice kit.
Steve

LS1RedZ Feb 14, 2009 07:07 PM

I got rid of everything up front. Plastic, bumper support, and washer resevoir.

Whew! I'm glad it showed up! We generally remove the piece of plastic. Thanks! Bob

With an SD tune I doubt any changes would be necessary.
We made our own brackets for one T/A where we welded the foglights to the intercooler. We did not make a template for these brackets so we would not be able to make any bracketswithout having another T/A that we were installing our front mount intercooler on.
I would personally prefer to use a larger intercooler over methanol as the first line of defense against high inlet air temps. Bob

Do you have pictures of your front mount intercooler installed that you can post up? Thanks. Bob
