well whatcha think.. should I use 2.5 or 3" piping for my FMIC? have really been goin back and forth over this for months and really dont know what to do.. Think with 3" I would probably have better results but dont wanna slow down the airflow...

Opinions please

well my final goal is kinda heading in a few different directions.. If I go back to the 205 top end then I will probably leave it single turboed and upgrade. I am currently thinking about using those two turboes Im pickin up from dg to setup a twin turbo setup but that means I have to stay with the 185 topend which I do not know the performance of it yet compared to the 205 topend - but TVIS intrests me so I wanna try it out for a while.

I would personally like to run the twin setup for the quick spool time at lower boost per turbo... that and it would be cool to have a twin turboed celica - but thats gettin off the subject.

I have JE pistions, HKS cam shafts and gears.. If I change the turbo, either upgrade or twin I am gonna redo the head and probably have the crank turned at that time

I have a really good reaction time off of the line.. doesnt matter what I drive so If I have a little bit of spool time then thats fine cuz I can make up for it some but It is a good point about increase lag time and one well taken wink.gif

The problem is there are alot of different sizes in my set up like I said a few posts
up.. Turbo 2-2.25 which ever it is biggrin.gif FMIC 2.75 TB 3"

I would rather have the air move at the same speed the whole way threw than have it speed up and slow down along its course... I probly will do something in the area of 2.5-2.75... just worried about that TB inlet.. heres a pic to show you what I am talking about cuz theres a couple inches of it and I dont know how keen I am about the air slowing down at the last minute..

well imagestation is currently down so I will post the pic later

edit: 5sfeTurbo hit this guy up on aol/aim TJN115.. there might be a space in it like this TJN 115 but can't remember.. he makes intercoolers that are perfect for the celi and there pretty resonable on the price 230ish
