    Default MPS6 owners!!! Expressions of interest please!

    FMIC!!!
    In the past 2 weeks I have been exchanging emails with PWR in regards to developement of intercoolers for the MPS range and in particular a FMIC kit to suit the MPS6!
    This only an expression of interest but all comments, suggestions and questions are welcome if this helps get another top quality Australian product on the market for our cars!

    PWR wants to know that there is decent demand for MPS performance parts if they are to put the R&D into such products!

    What do You want and expect from a FMIC kit?

    : Bar and plate cores?
    : Neat and direct Plumbing with minimal hose joins?
    : Stock style BOV mount?


    What dont you want in a FMIC kit?
    : Extensive modifications or removal of vehical features?


    PWR have been very helpful, they have replied to My emails and been very prefessional!

    I will give this link to PWR so they can read and follow as well

    Thanks PWR

    I've been after a FMIC for my 6 for a while now!

    I know for one that it's meant to make my BOV alot louder and sound different to what it sounds like without a FMIC, might sound really silly but I like loud BOV's and that's part of why I actually want a FMIC haha.

    I want a FMIC with neat piping like...

    But would rather the pipes to be bent that way rather than joined up that way with couplers.. leaks would be a mission to find

    So far I have said to PWR that I would like a fmic kit that doesn't require removing factory accessorries like the washer bottle, must work with various CAI and must support room for decent horse power. At this stage trimming inside the bar looks to be a given on the mps6.

    Thanks mate!

    Something to consider with PWR is that they use may extruded tubes, which means the internals don't have a lot of surface area for exchanging heat.

    Extruded tubes look like this:



    More efficient 'bar and plate' tubes look like this:



    If you search the net you will find contrary views about these things. Perhaps PWR will comment.

    Why would an FMIC make it sound louder?

    At this stage no comment has been made on which type core would be used, however in the first few emails exchanged exchanged they did refer to the above mentioned tube type design.

    An mps3 design I assume wouldn't be out of the question but mps3 does not suffer from the room and plumbing issues that arise with the mps6. The mps3 owners already have a better choice available to them but if PWR want to Im sure they will also keep the mps3 in mind.

    Being that this is only an expression of interest a price or ball park figure isn't available at the moment.

    My initial email to PWR didn't actually have anything to do with FMIC and here we are!

    Thanks people! keep it coming!
