That's what I've been trying to tell you. Although I didn't get the dimensions you listed, I just took one look at both ICs and saw they were different.xartic1 said:

How are their temps looking? With elbows it wouldn't be hard to get the weird angle we have on our stock IC with a silicone elbow.
I'm going to have to take my bumper off this coming week and see what kind of room there is.
[/quote]That idk, I was in contact with one of the guys, but he has since not been responding. So not sure how it is doing. Here's pix I got sent of their setup. I have no details other than this, so not sure on any more than this.

It would be nice if we could get more information and maybe the links to the pieces he used too. Either way that 1" extra thickness of the core would probably help out quite a bit.

Yeah, I've been reaching out to him, but he's dropped out of contact, so I have no more info. If he hits me back, I'll see if he can pass on the info.

I ordered the Mishimoto J-Line and a handful of couplers and elbows. Should have everything in by Wednesday so I plan on taking my old intercooler out to get everything ready for the install on Tuesday.
Will update on results if the fittings I purchased are the correct ones.

Well the intercooler arrived today but I doubt it’s going to get installed. Bought it from Amazon as new and here’s what I’ve discovered. The box was open, the bolts for the mounting were out of the bag (bag was ziplock and closed), there is damage to the intercooler and the “M” is missing on the front of the intercooler. It’s definitely a Mishimoto but what the hell is going on with this?
Next one is supposed to be delivered by Thursday, along with my aFe intake.

Huh almost like someone else returned it and they sent it to you. Definitely ship it backxartic1 said:Well the intercooler arrived today but I doubt it’s going to get installed.

Well I made some progress today. I took over 50 bolts/screws out to get to the intercooler. Also removed the actual bumper which involves drilling a few holes and 8 bolts.
The issue I see people having not wanting to do this is the shroud for the condenser/ intercooler needing to be removed. Shown below is the part that interferes.
My condenser has taken a beating as you can see where the bumper cover does and doesn’t cover. So what I did was “modify” the shroud .
I’ll be covering those spots back up with some semi-flexible clear acrylic I’ll drill and bolt down to the shroud.
There’s the difference between the two right now. I’m awaiting the replacement that’s coming in tomorrow and I work the next 4 days so I’ll be doing a little bit installation each night. It does sit right up in place so I don’t think I’ll have fitment issues.
Also tearing this down, these charge pipes are a joke. I think I’ll be buying the Eco Power Parts charge pipes down the road see how many bends and how thin the stock ones are.
Also discovered my driver rear wheel bearing needs replaced after doing a 4 corner brake job today. Timken replacement for $114 isn’t bad, considering local Auto parts stores want well over that any brand they offer.

Nice. So you had to cut the core support to take out the stock IC or because its the only way to fit the larger aftermarket IC you got?xartic1 said:Well I made some progress today.

Well I did it in ordered to not remove the condenser and AC lines. Since my AC works well, I didn’t feel like tampering with draining the refrigerant and cleaning up that mess.
Hopefully tonight I can get most of it installed and secured in place.
I just really hope this new intercooler comes with the “M” so there is some indication that it’s a modified FMIC, I mean having no damage to it as well is the main part of getting the replacement. Not many people are going to be suspecting this Sport is going to be able to pull on them!
When do you plan on getting you phenolic spacer and manifold setup installed? I’m curious to know if the spacer really does help prevent heat soak better and if there are power gains from the spacer increasing volume too.

Nice! Yeah, just waiting on the spacer to do all that installation. I'm not counting on very big gains tbh. My biggest hope for it is to keep some heat down, and even that, idk how much. It's a bit of am experiment as there isnt much data out there on it. You should see pretty nice gains with that new IC, though. IATs are pretty high. I'm going to be doin the one off install, so I'm still waiting, but I agree, the charge piping is pretty pathetic. Lolxartic1 said:
