FMIC identity

[Chi-town]

Can anyone ID this kit?

 

[Stevo]

Looks like a FMIC.
Cooler looks like Hybrid, but pipe work from turbo looks customised, so im guessing its not a kit your can buy.

You after a cooler? try here i got this one.

crap...i meant FMIC instead of TMIC(fixed). its a 100mm depth core if that helps ID it.

 

[AJ4]

The core looks very much like a forge ( but without the forge logo ), not sure about the pipe work, looks custom ( and pretty 8) )

Unless it's the picture, it looks slightly different to my Forge one. Mine goes flat vertically where the outlet hose is, that one seems to continue into a point.

inst that the new gary spares one hes selling

looks identical to the ones we sell , although we can supply them with various size cores , the pipings polished aluminium and the silicone and connections come with the kit.

 

[Simmo]

looks like a forge hi-flow, ive got the same on my R but mine's a lot more dirty.

 

[hmmm]

...

What's a Forge Hi-Flow? I thought Forge only made one type of Intercooler :?.

i also couldnt find the Hi-Flow on the Forge website

Dunno guys, thats just what it says on the invoice. It cost the same as the one on the website (http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=0013&product=FMINTGTI) and apparently is good for upto 500bhp although I've heard differently from other members.

This is the reply email I got from Forge when I quizzed them about it:

Andy

The highest application that we are aware of is a 500 bhp + Gtir race car , it runs with no issues.

The flow rate will be dependent on what other comment parts you are using to generate the air flow

I hope this helps

Maybe the one Forge sell is a Hi-Flow version. But then why does it look different to Fast Guy's one. AFAIK, he has a Forge too :?.

Does the one shown in the pic look exactly like your one Simmo?

it seems that your intercooler has more geometrical end tanks...unlike the pic that i posted...unless it just looks that way.

Does it require any mods to fit?
i.e mover washer bottle, cut bumper bar etc...?

You may be right, looking again it does look like the connecting pipes on the other one arent in the middle where as mine are.
