The 4" doesnt require modification, but the 5" does! hehe

Let me know about a group buy, I could be in as well.

I just installed a 4" ETS last night. While technically it fit without modifications, we were uncomfortable with how near it was to the AC system, so we made some minor "adjustments" to the small support on the top of the FMIC. Fits great now

ETS is looking for around 10 people.

The group buy is going to happen, I spoke with Micheal. I am not disclosing the amount. But it is a nice discount with a perk.

ETS Mike will be posting a group buy thread today or tomorrow for sure.

What adjustments did u make ?

I've installed the ETS 4" on my 2009 JDM SST. I thought it will fit just right but i am not able to properly mount back my crash bar after installing the FMIC. The black bracket (use to secure to the front frame) at the center of the crash bar is touching against the top of the FMIC and hence preventing the crash bar from securing back to the crash bar bracket on the right of the car (the left fits OK). I end up only securing the 4 bolts on the right side of the crash bar (the top and bottom bolts not able to secure as i am not able to push the crash bar back enough to align).

BTW, i've inserted the 2 rubber screw mounts from FMIC to the ETS bottom mounting points. The bottom mounting hole is much smaller than the stock FMIC and hence it is a very tight fit. I am begining to wonder if these 2 rubber screw mounts are causing the fitment issue and whether it should be in the new FMIC at all?

Tokwc,

You need to keep the rubber mounts or else the intercooler will have no way to mount.

There is a bracket behind the bumper beam that might have to be massaged. Due to the tight tolerance from Mitsubishi each car is a bit different but most bolt on with no problems.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

Thanks,

Michael

Thanks Michael.. i will be heading down to the workshop this Thursday to modify the bracket.

I was worried about the water temp but the logging over the last few days show no increase in water temp with this much thicker core.. i am delighted!!
