I will be posting some more pictures shortly of the car and how it is coming along. The only thing holding us up is having the aluminum sheared for the new FMIC. Not sure if I mentioned it but we will soon be releasing what I think is the largest FMIC kit available for the EVO. Good for 1150 hp. First two should be built today/tomorrow. Inlets and outlets will be available in any size, up to 4" on this intercooler. This particular car will be 2.5" inlets and 3" outlet. The other car that is here is going to be running our complete production kit on it and will just be 2.5" in and out. This new FMIC will fit in the stock location although some trimming maybe required as it is pretty damn big. It will also have the inlets/outlets in a location that will make other peoples intercooler plumbing work with it as well as ours.
The turbo is going to use just a screen over the inlet, we might end up doing a custom filter and inlet for it but the frame is going to require notching to get it in there.
Anyway, looking forward to firing this car up and hearing it. Should be wicked.

Thanks for posting those Jarrod.
There it is. Running in our parking lot. Ended up making a 4" air inlet for the car as the owner is dead set on driving this. Right now it has been idling in the parking lot for about 45 minutes, has a 180 degree stat in it and is holding steady at 181 degrees.
Going to go do some road tuning at low boost shortly.

Yes, it's freaking fast. Just got back from a couple of hits on the road. Low boost right now, I have the boost controller turned down as low as it will go. This car is going to be fast once the boost is turned up. Already pulls insanely.
Interesting facts.
The radiator actually works. It works extremely well as a matter of fact. I can't remember if we are running a thermostat in the car, I said we are but now I can't remember if I put it back or not. Either way, it holds a very constant tempurature.
Idling it stays right at 180 degrees. Going down the road the car stays right at 185. We did a pull that I have the datalog from on my desk right now. Started the pull in 1st gear at 20 mph. Ran the car to 113 mph in 4th gear. The coolant temp at the end of the pull was 186.5 degrees.
More impressive. This new intercooler, as you can see, it's big. 1150 hp worth of intercooler. Holy crap am I impressed. I have not put the fascia on the car as we don't have it, it is with the owner. It may require some trimming of the fascia to make it fit.
Beginning of the same run, we had been sitting on the side of the road tuning. The start of the pull the intake air temp was 116.6 degrees. At the end of the pull at 113 mph the intake air temp DROPPED to 104.0 degrees. Now that is NICE!
Looking forward to tomorrow, more boost, leaner AFR's (10.0:1 now) and getting the timing dialed in.
Poor guy, he is going to need a triple disc, this dual isn't going to cut it

The 3" upper i/c pipe is on this car. I think the part you are asking about that will be new is the lower i/c pipe. No pictures of that yet. I needed a stock EVO today to build it on and wouldn't you know every EVO at our shop already has our FMIC kit on it

wow sick car are you guys trying to build something as fast/faster than the ams evo? just curious. and off topic a little since you guys were able to do all of this have you thought of or discussed converting an 03 evo tranny to the 05 mr with a 6spd and acd i know it is very involved and requirers some mod to the gauge cluster but ive really been wanting to know if anyone has tried it or thought seriously about it thanks
