Thats not much bigger that the 2 SMIC's only it is mounted in a position for better air flow.Why type of cooler is it? bar+plate, whats the fin count?, Its says the pipework is good for 375bhp, what about the cooler itself?

if you are anyway compitant you could do a Univeral FMIC install for a lot less money.

I think i paid £77 for my Toyo Type R cooler and made the pipework myself.

just bought this kit today. its bigger than you think. the core size is 90mm were as the forge kit is 60mm. so the cooler area size is the same as forges.
turbin has this kit and he told me hes over the moon with it, also he makes really good power on his car

What is the core like Sam, i would be interested in seeing a pic of the internal fin's.My Toyo type R FMIC is ~7920cm3.

kit should arive 2morrow or thursday, i will post some pics of it when it turns up. i went for this kit as you can keep the fogs and it fits properly, no cutting pipes ect, i no it cost a bit more than a toyo kit but that fact the the pipes fit straight on, i think its money well spent. turbin also said the qulity is spot on

Well the cooler was £66.99, then you need to buy Clamps, joiners and Bends(fleebay), i did it all for under £200.Its a bit of a pain cutting pipes to fit but i don't mind a challenge, i kept my fog lights and standard map pipe to.

There are a few guides floating around on the Readers Rides for the Toyo type R FMIC.

I did with my piping, it all depends on the angle you run the piping at, i know some of the Forge lads lost there fogs, TBO when do we ever use them though, i guess you could put dummy lenses in there if worst came to worst.

the size of my new cooler
from what i can work out
lenth= 70cm
hight=18cm
depth=9cm
total = 11,340 cm3.

that seems pretty big.

 

[Seat Gooner]

ooo i get you now i would of thought at the price forge stuff is you could at least keep your fogs lol

Never used my fogs lol they any good ??

could you do a mix and match with these kits

Nice one if it is, it looks smaller though.Where did you get those measurements, i can't see them on the link.

I think i need to remeasure mine as it looks bigger than that one, pic below

 

[sambryant]

took the messurements from the guy i ordered the cooler from. i asked him for them as i was concered about the size myself. i know what you mean robbie it lacks hight when you look at it but the depth is massive, but thats what you cant see. they also told me the lcr in the pic is now running stage 3 with the same cooler with out any probs. i can only take the guys word for it. will see

Here's a better pic or the Toyo Type R installed.

Sounds good so, i like these long but thinner FMIC's, i have a feeling my charge air is just passing through the bottom half of the cooler and not using the full height, i may be wrong, its still cools well, but air guide rails are being welded in the next time i have it off to direct the flow of air to the top and boot of the cooler.

The measure's of mine are 55cm x 22.5cm x 6.4cm, i think!
