Well that depends a little on whether you are a brand name junkie like b18b.... Mr. Green

The last price i saw for those TMIC's was around $800+ US.

Or you can go the cheaper route and buy a FMIC and a universal piping kit and make up your bends.

TMIC = around 6k if the price is around $800 US.
FMIC = $3500, 4k tops with universal kit.

Anybody doh agree with those prices? I think it would be about that. But still is a guesstimate. Smile

Redman I'm sure you were not expecting a 3 page read up... Mr. Green

Daiz how we (LGT) do it.... Twisted Evil

I would take a W/M kit over a TMIC or FMIC any day if i had to make a choice (more performance) the only problem is getting meth to full the bottle. I agree with you the new TMIC would look good plus the stock one looks like a sweated on plastic welded thing. You would get some gains never the less but get a w/m kit if you want real performance.

What kind of gains can we expect from tmic vs fmic -not to be difficult but that important too-is the work on the front mount worth it?

Somebody mentioned that there is an issue re the bumper and a FMIC- what is the problem?

Flex -I going for 4 - I sure I could ask enough for 5 though Embarassed

i got a quote for a custom fmic locally and it was around 7-8 k.

The issue there is fitment of the FMIC with the bumper support bar there. It looks like it has been cut to allow space for the IC.

And i agree with Flex. Go W/M kit. The nice thing about it is that you can also run water only if you dont have access to meth.

It would actually be cheaper to go W/M as you can get a kit for around $3k or so and achieve more gains that an upgraded TMIC or FMIC with less hassle.

So spec b you saying that the Water/Meth kit with a stock TMIC is a do able mod-but including a bigger IC-FM or TM is a step up from a W/M kit???

5 pages or bust

Actually no not really. What i am saying is that using W/M with the stock intercooler would give greater gains than using an upgraded TMIC or FMIC without W/M. Of course, an upgraded TMIC or FMIC with W/M would be even better but thats where cost comes into play.

If you are looking at $ vs performance, then W/M is the way to go. The gains you would achieve is greater than any TMIC or FMIC setup that isnt using W/M. And it would be cheaper.

Look at the cost of running a custom FMIC that Civic2nr posted. $7-$8 gran Shocked

thats alot of money yow!!!!!!

The only thing is to pick which W/M kit is right for you. It definitely aint going to cost you anything close to $7 k........................

Well aight,
I think we saying the same thing just you know what you talking about.
So.........if that s the case whats your recc on the W/M?????

This is a kit from cooling mist.

http://tunertools.com/proddetail.asp?prod=AEM-30-3001

This kit is from AEM. This kit is pretty much like the Cooling mist kit but it comes with 3 different sized injectors for varying power levels and a 5 gallon trunk mount reservoir.

Other good brands are Aquamist, and Devilsown.

The cooling mist kit isn't as high tech but it does the job pretty well. It injects progressively by boost.

The aquamist kits inject according to fuel and injector duty cycle IIRC.
An Aquamist kit will cost you about $5500 without a tank. The cooling mist kit would cost a little less and it includes optional tank sizes up to 2.5 gallons.

I prefer the 5 gallon kit because i dont want to be fulling up very often.

I fecking was doing this ting simple...now I tusty like ...well one ah allyuh chronic young men Twisted Evil

Spec b/Flex thanks again for the info-it look like I would go with a w/m kit and then see if I would step up with a TMIC-the fm look like its beyond my purview.

these available locally??

Ok given the amount of whp increase-would this affect the tranny?

legacy_specB · Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2009 8:11 pm Post subject:

I've heard many websites say that the tranny is good for up to 380whp. But a tranny cooler is a must at those levels. You can get one locally for about $650.
