Thread: Cx7 FMIC

  1. #1

    Default Cx7 FMIC

    Hi everyone.

    As a Christmas pressie to myself a mate and I want to do a custom fmic set up on the Cx7. I know the 6 and 3 mps are different to the 7 but the question I have for you all is how will the car react to it on the standard Mazda tune?? My mods so far are CPE cai and high flow cat with high flow muffler.

    Happy Motoring

    It won't effect the tune. It's more of a fail-safe thing, rather than making power.

    It's more about, Will the auto handle all the extra Kw's?

    What do you mean "It's more of a fail-safe thing" ?
    I was more worried about entering boost/fuel cut territory.
    Apparently there are 2 transmission coolers, I'll have to double check myself. Even then I was thinking of installing another to fit were the old top mount was. what do you think?

    The FMIC will be more consistant with intake temps, less heatsoak.

    I would suggest 2.25" from the turbo to the intercooler and 2.5" from the intercooler to throttle.

    You won't get boost/fuel cut with a FMIC, more so with SRI than anything.

    Trans cooler: I would maybe just upgrade one of the factory ones, rather than fitting a 3rd cooler.

    Do you have a DashHawk? You can monitor and log intake and boost temps for comparisons too.

    Thanks so much for your help. I dont have a dashhawk, one would come in handy right now.

    Any more questions, just ask.

    Check out my thread, it may help a little. Make sure you get the best possible brand intercooler you can budget for. Efficiency is the key here

    that looks great, what were the results from the dashhawk?
    Also do you have any finished product pics?

    I didn't have a DashHawk before I fitted the FMIC.

    For finished pics check out MPSIs or You Loses Members Rides.

    What about the ETS for the CX7?
    I have read about it being used before if you prefer a stealthier approach, still with good gains to be had.

    You may be able to source it through MPSGarage

  14. Default Done and very happy

    OK OK all done. It took us all up 2 and a 1/2 days but it was way worth it. We ended up with all cooler piping in 2.5" SS and tried to pick the shortest path (less lag, auto and all) on both sides of the cooler. The cooler to the throttle body was great, just right round the corner and in.

    While we were at it we made up a custom intake. I was never happy with the CPE cai I had, as soon as it would rain a little to much every time the turbo came on fuel cut would kick in . Now the pod is behind the headlight instead of low in the inner guard. I chopped the cpe intake to use the 1st half for the afm and pod mount and made the rest ourselves. It now goes 3" to 2.5" to 2" into the turbo.

    The result is amazing the car has less lag on take off and feels faster, I love it. I also notice it gets a few more looks on the road .
    Here are a few pics, after I wash I'll take some better ones.
