I'm putting together my turbo setup. Now I'm looking for an intercooler. I've seen several member's FMICs. I currently have a 94-95 front bumper and I was going to measure the entire opening and buy an IC that wide. I want an IC that will take up the whole opening up front. Like I want it to cover the opening. But I was just remembering I'm going to get the 96-99 bumper and I have the fogs so I'm pretty sure the opening is smaller.
  So I'm wanting to know what the ideal dimensions for the 2 different style bumpers are. So that means anyone can post. If you've got a FMIC then let me know what dimensions it has. Thanks. --------------------  |

i mentioned here that i was going to keep my current CAI piping to do my FMIC piping. It's made out of 6061 Aluminum and someone here said it wasn't strong enough. what type of piping exactly would i need? thanks.

oh i got ya...
well, 6061 aluminum is known to work fine for ic piping, but your going to have to buy a lot more piping the what came with your cold air intake to do the job. i used stainles steal 2.25in piping on mine. it costs a lot, but looks great and will not rust on me. if you want to go the cheap way, buy aluminized steal, and paint it to help prevent rusting. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
