Just installed nice new FMIC

[ineil]

I got this FMIC off of E-Bay:
eBay Motors: 1986 Buick Grand National FMIC Bell Intercooler Kit (item 300065544005 end time Jan-06-07 17:30:18 PST)

I know it's not one of those monsters many of you may have, but it is a real nice piece and the fit was good. I replaced my very old stretch stock location with this. Very minor modification, as in drilling two holes under the plate covering the radiator. I will try to have pics tomorrow.

I bought this same FMIC and I didnt have to do any cutting at all.

Buger, do you have any pix of this installed. I wanted to ask my wife for this at Christmas but I wasn't sure of the brand. I heard stories about those knockoff headers on ebay and I was scared of the FMIC. Anyone notice a difference in performance?

my car made 520hp with this ebay intercooler

Can you take some actual measurments of it before you get it in??

I was allways curious about it's dimensions, since they're not listed in the auction.

Good luck with it.

Pretty much a straight up reproduction of the old Cartech/Kenne Bell intercooler. Its a decent design, especially for what you probably paid for it.

my dads car loves its ebay intercooler. Looks like you have a nice setup, let us know how it runs compared to the stretched stock location.

I have the same intercooler! Not hard to install at all. I made my own pipes, I still have to weld them and polish them up. Oh by the way, it will be fro sale soon. Got a killer RJC FMIC.

intake pipe looks like it's about to touch the spinning Alt wheel

still loks great...

 

[vader87]

Yea it almost does! But it works! Thanks!

Here are the pics of the FMIC. It is by no means huge, but fits and looks nice. The pipes come in from the drivers side rather then the bottom.
