BR Race fmic's!!!
Wow,
now, we all know dave doesnt need his ego fluffed anymore... but...
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,
cb

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"

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 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.

I'm surprised that you guys didn't notice that the ETS intercooler to which you're comparing your Race core was built for Suman by request with the same Garrett core used in your Race intercooler. The only difference is that his core was a 4.5" thick version, rather than the 4" you spec for your cooler.
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
