Subscribing. . . . I have seen people flip the intake for turbo applications for FMIC. Personally I was considering meth instead of an IC. Those CX racing cores are not going to help your IAT's as much as you think. I have ran them on a few cars and they soak pretty easily. If your gonna get a core, get a good quality core that will keep the intake side cool. I had one on my Evo for example and was a 3" core, and was basically almost like not even running one. I changed to a much higher quality core and was a considerable change in measured IAT's
These just dont seem dense enough from my experience.

 

Will definitely consider getting a better core. Just trying to figure out what setup to go with to make a fox kit work on my. Im thinking reclocking the blower to sit similar to a fox setup and running a fox intake manifold and tb is gonna be the easiest way to make it work. Just curious if its been done.

 

Purchased the cxracing fmic setup for a foxbody and im picking up a trickflow foxbody style intake manifold on friday. Will keep this updated on how it all goes.

 

In my opinion pressure drop is too significant to make a front mount worth while on our cars. You will have to up the blower speed to get the airflow back - which leads to smaller pulley, more belt tension, hotter air charge, etc etc. Have you looked into a meth kit? I love my Anderson unit.

 

If there was a decent way to do a FMIC on our cars, I'd already have done it..

If you do decide on running one, the treadstone 1245 is perfect. I run one on my 97
I just run a ####load of meth on my 95

 

To add to the topic, I ordered a Meth kit for this very reason last week. Seems to be a much simpler fix to IAT issues. I am choosing to not lean into too much additional timing though. I just want to use mainly for the cooling characteristics and additional safety when the summer months come

 

I don't have the pictures saved on my pc anymore, but I did a cxracing intercooler and flipped my box R...found one on cardomain that I put up a while back

you'd probably have to do a fox-style throttle body
