Parts:

FMIC and piping:







Vortech BOV.. This things sounds amazing esp with a little spring it opens and closes really fast and doesn't prolong the whoooosh sound.

After: FMIC installed...







I will have more pics etc later on this gets tiring after a while. i still have to take engine bay shots of the new set-up and maybe a small clip. Just too lazy. Please don't comment on the dirty car. The car is fast tho I hope thats a plus. lol.

Thanks.

Any specs on the intercooler? You lost any psi?

[timmay5835]

it looks real mean from the front. ^what he said, that intercooler seems kinda big, you didn't lose any psi?

[maxima92se]

Yeah I lost about 2psi from the IC and it is freakin huge. Its the same size that Matty is running. I have to get a new boost gauge to really be able to tell how much boost this thing is running. The one i have now works but I am not really sure its keeping the right amount of boost its an APC piece of crap. Even with the loss in boost the car feels so much better than no IC, On hot days you don't really feel it and on cool nights Hella torque.

Yea, dont look at it as lost psi. Your motor is now running at a more efficient level. Whats the inlet/outlet diameter?

Looking tough

3inch piping from the blower on i still have to do the Z32 MAf and PF TB. yeah there is a lot more torque from the car and there is a definite difference. I just wish my clutch was good i would have gone for a dyno.

Running the 2.87 pulley right now. Once i get my next mods (sig) I will be thinking of doing either the Si trim or T-trim and then run the 2.62pulley.

very good job man. where did you get your piping from?
Also do you have any under hood after pics?

What are its dimensions? Im assuming its 12" in height, but curious as to its legnth.

[ptatohed]

Good job. Pics during install (ex. with front bumper off, etc.)? Pics of under the hood? Pics of the CAI you mention in your title? Prices/stores where purchased? Did you need to kill some/all of your bumper support?

I'd definitely lose the front plate.

Holy hell man. Car's looking mean.
