Since we been talking fmic recently...

[s1l3nc3r]

Im able to get hold of a fmic for very good price ive had a look through a load of the old threads on this but still not 100% answered my questions...

The fmic core size is a smaller than the uni one length wise but a bit deeper...

but instead of having 2 1/4" inlet and outlet its got 2 1/2" will it perform better due to better flow or just make it more laggy...

Work out the internal volume by multiplying the height, width and depth. Then we'l be able to see how it compares to the other options

Right ive worked out the volume of the core from the measurments in mm...

ive also done the same with the e-bay uni one to give a comparison and worked out the overall difference in size if ive done it correctly it works out to...

E-BAY UNI volume = 5096000

The other one works out at - 4252500

So makes the ebay ones volume bigger by - 843500

Also just to add to this i was flicking around ebay and found this cooler but i read on another thread that the biggest depth was 170mm without having to cut away at the crash bar to get it to fit..??

You dont want i deep one anyway mate, best to have a wide thin one as it'l cool much better than a narrow thick one

 

[s1l3nc3r]

oh right...spose it figures...

Well i think i may opt for the uni one anyway as i no a few people are running them with no problems cost a bit more but i no it works...

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Dont be a tight wod you lol. Uni kits worth the money they cost, not a fan of them myself but it works

 

[s1l3nc3r]

Well im going to be stage one for a while anyway so it will do fine for what ive got...

really feeling the lack of powr from the warm wether recently aswell doing my head in...

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Once its on there aswel it'l be easier to upgrade in the future mate as half the works already done

sorry to hijack for a second but does anyone know if the piping supplied with the forge FMIC kit will fit that universal cooler posted above?

# Core size: 540mm x 180mm x 65mm
# End to end 690mm/27"
# 2.25"(57mm) Inlet and Outlet

Can't find much on the forge site

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Wouldnt touch the forge pipework even if i was paid to. Its poor fitment and isnt very big tubing, only around 50mm iirc. There pipework fawls on the gearbox so eventually will make a hole thus giving you a boost leak.

Stick with the uni kit pipework or make up your own

 

[thewiizard]

yer i hear what you're saying. If it was to fit, it would save me a lot of hassle and make getting a fmic back on quite easy.

Do you reckon those inlet/outlet dimensions are internal diameter or external diameter?

 

[s1l3nc3r]

Ah well i got a e-gay special uni cooler on route to me now so when it arrives i will fit it and get a coupl of pictures up...

They'l be internal measurements mate

 

[thewiizard]

cheers Myki.

s1l3nc3r, let me know when you've got it cuz I'll want you to measure up the external size of those inlets but the other thing I've just realised whilst writing this is that the forge inlet/outlets are on the rear of the cooler, on that uni cooler, they're on the end

OK time to broaden the question, anyone know of a cooler I can run with the forge pipe work (apart from the forge FMIC)

Should be quite a few coolers on ebay that'l have the inlet/outlet in the same position as the forge one mate, its just a matter of looking trough until you find one tho lol
