recently we've done a few race fmic's.... i just did another yesterday... it was well in the 80's.... humidity well over 50%.... and we were running a cbrd upgraded compressor evo ix turbo on our sale director caleb's car.

i was able to run back to back 28psi pulls on 93 octane with NO knock.... i was completely amazed at the performance..... no loss of power, heatsoak was minimal...

this is an expensive piece compared to many others out there, but it's a VERY VERY functional one....

too anyone considering it, go for it.

cheers,

The Buschur Race FMIC is not only the best by design its a classic

Here we tested it resently in a A - B test against "brand X"

In that test, we attempted to mainatin an open mind and conduct a fair and unbiased comparision

As you can see in the video, the customer who is a very smart and involved Evo owner, was there watching every move and making sure that the testing was conducted in a very consistant manner

The best part was hearing back from the customer later in the day and hearing that the difference was significant enough to effect the way the car feels and pulls, especially on the top end

It is hard to beat the genuine Garret fmic cores and the technology and process that goes into making them. The is a reason why the top Evo tuners and shops all use fmic's with genuine Garret cores

Hopefully my effort in testing will open the eyes of some customers who automatically assume that bigger is better

The internal design and construction of the fmic extrusion is a critical aspect of how well it will dispate heat

The air is always flowing through the fmic at a rapid pace it is very amazing just how well those fmic cores can cool the charge temps give the fast movement of air through the core

Air denisty is perhaps the most overlooked aspect of forced induction performance

I have to admit that my fave part of the vid was Suman spelling out FMIC when he said "Buschur F M I C," first time I've heard it put like that

BTW Al, great vid, always enjoy them and the facts you portray

I'd like to see what the AIT's do on the road...I assume they'd rise more slowly than on a dyno with a fan blowing on it.

youd be suprised what a properly designed dyno cell can do... we extract over 10,000CFM of air from the room, and have 3 high CFM blowers and one large fan...

I don't doubt that a very well setup dyno room couldn't replicate the real world pretty well....I was just curious to see the difference rather than make assumptions.

If you do testing, post the results so we can all see them. Mellon is not the only one on the board who loves data.

Seems a bit odd to us that an honest test would show disimilar results given the fact that the core is the nearly identical and from the same manufacturer
