I just wanted to show off my new NoriBilt IC! The quality is superior, take a look! It does the job, and then some.

 

Finally friggin found this thread!! I'll be calling Noribilt for a FMIC very, very soon as well!

 

How come so many EVO owners always swap out for a different FMIC?

Is the stock one not that good? I almost see as many upgraded ICs as turbobacks

 

Well in our region with the heat we see, heat soak is very problematic...I'm upgrading mine to get more consistency and to fight off heat soak issues as well of course. Most others have upgraded turbos or are planning on it, so it makes more sense for them as the stock one isn't very efficient sometimes on the stock turbo let alone an upgraded turbo...

 

What he said.

 

i wish the end tanks curved the other way i think it would look more *sound* if u know what i mean.

 

Mike does a bad *** job fabing stuff up. He has built a few trubo kits for my ture 10.5 cars.

 

Ahh

Well at least your intercoolers are not placed in the engine back, TMICs FTL talk about heatsoak

And if we upgrade to a FMIC on the tiny stock turbo we run into a number of problems and throttle response is GONE so yea

 

What is the make of this Intercoller? Noribilt? where is it from? how much? website?

 

They use a bell core, its a 3.5" thick core, i just cant seem to remember the other specs on it...Call them up and talk to Chad, he'll give ya the rundown

 

Good choice JJ. I may end up doing that if my AMS IC takes a dump one day. I like the way the lower piping doesn't come out at an angle, it makes the bend going to the IM a little less extreme.

 

Your telling me man, had a buddy install a ebay IC on his 06 sti and talk about LAG. every gear was bad but it sure did kick when boost was built.
