ok i installed the intercooler i won and can i tell you its a biatch to install... cuz you have to make sure its level or the hoses wont line up right... now what i have noticed is that the forced fed logo is too high not like the forced fed MR which is very visible.. i dont know if i installed it right after looking at the Forced Fed MR... but the mounts all lined up were they need to go specially the holes so i guess its how its suppose to be not unless i missed something like i have to mount it lower but the upper bracket will have no place to mount and the lower one will be too low to mount to the tow hook... it looks good but u cant see the "Forced Fed" logo..

So beyond the logo issue, how is the FMIC? Hitting fuel cut yet? ;)

i told myself if i won that intercooler i would take that logo off. i didnt win, but i juss thought id share with you my idea :idea: to me, it doesnt look centered either. :roll: but its def. bigger than stock, and you kno, bigger is always better!

anyway...how does your evo pull now? is it a noticeable gain. damn, i wish i wouldve won. you lucky sun of a gun. :wink: [/i]

its fine, i had a hard time installing it.. cuz when you use the gromet for the upper bracket it doesnt set well its crooked then you have to make sure its straight cuz the couplers that comes with it wont seal properly.. but over all its fine, now i notice that i have boost spikes and also it spools up way faster and no i didnt hit the fuel cut off.. i actually hit 8k with out it cutting off... and you will notice the response is just much better and the car feels quicker now...

wow 8K thats awesome!

didnt notice it untill i looked down cuz it just spooled up fast and i was hitting redline before i even knew it... it could also be that i have cams too

Did you have your ECU reflashed to raise your rev limiter or did it magically raise when you installed the FMIC?

DRFTR8
03-23-2005, 01:41 PM
no i didnt reflash at all, the cut off never turned on the car kept pulling.. and i wasnt the only one who passed 7500 rpm on my car... i let my friend drive it too and he too passed 7k... i guess the engine got up there fast and the ecu couldnt catch it on time..

Are you saying your car is revving up so fast that your ECU didn't even realize?
