does any body have pics of how they mounted a FMIC
and where is a good place to get one w/out paying $1000(links please) whats the best size, i am thinking around the 600-700 hp range(i know this is high, but i don't want to have to buy one twice, i want to get a good one now while i have the $ so i won't have to get a bigger one someday when this is no longer my daily driver) -------------------- |

not a bad price if you ask me
AUD $730 = $515 US http://www.flyn.com.au/hybrid_intercooler.htm

The front mount intercooler does look good but someone argued that it introduces
more lag in the response because of the longer induction to throttle body path the air travels. On our cars the examples I've seen always seem to have the pipework running over the exhaust manifold which defeats the purpose of cooling the air to begin with. |

I say St205 watercharged IC...best way to go.
The A2A is horrible, i'm upset with mine and plan on going ST205 but its quite an effort locating everything. -------------------- |

If you go for the ST205 Intercooler route make sure you heat lag the underside
of the IC with Aluminium coated heat resist fibreglass wadding' it will help prevent heat soak when the cars not moving. My IC would get so hot if the car was stationary for a few minutes, you could fry en egg on it. Toyota's standard heat shield is pretty pathetic.

Do you mean "over the manifold" like this picture of Itchy's setup?  My understanding is, after the air passes through the intake, to the turbo fan- then it goes over the exhaust manifold (yes, heating it up), then passing through the intercooler which then goes to the TB- not passing over the manifold again. Would it be best not to pass over the exhaust manifold in the first place? Yes. Does it really matter given the order of things? I doubt it. The turbo heats up the air a lot in the first place!

i really like this one i wonder how much shipping is to the us i don't want a smaller one like in the pics above, but how would i mount a large one like that, i won't have an ac condensor, but the support thing that comes down to hold up the piece the low beams are attached to is in the way and the bumper -------------------- |

I would go custom W/A IC or go with the Large FMIC and Spray it with N20 it may help from the lag.
But custom W/A is your best bet. |

It seems like common sense, but you'd be surprised how many Celica owners run the piping over the exhaust manifold because it's easier. Might as well not have done the A2A anyway.

i think i am going to run it somewhat like the pic shid posted
and i am going to the N-tercooler kit from nx and probably spray co2 because it way cheapper, and if i need a little extra, i'll get some nitrous instead. i am probably ordering the hybrid one, i have been talking to flyin today and he sai they still have them in stock ready to ship and shipping is approx $130 aud how much would that be all together in usd exactly, i used to have a currency converter on my laptop someplace, but can't seem to find it -------------------- |

That set up isn't too bad as the pipework to the throttle body avoids the manifold ( I was thinking in terms of the GT4 throttle body on a right hand drive), the pipework would have to go very near the manifold unless you can route the pipework around the ABS area. Even with itchy's set up the intercooler has to work harder as hot turbine compressed air is made even hotter by its path over the manifold. Anyone got a FMI installed that manages to avoid the exhaust manifold ? |

technically there is more lag witha fmic set up. but i have never noticed any, and i argee with trance4 at celica.net who said its seems like the turbo spools up quicker witha fmic set up.
also the pic of the 5sfte set up is the way you want to do ur fmic pipes. when u go over the exhuast manifold with the pipe that goes into your throttle body thats kind of an oxymoron. |
