pics of my 65$ ebay FMIC
 
the fedex man can today and dropped it off. It alot better than I expected and very heavy compared to my DSM SMIC and DSM FMIC.

Here are the pics

Thats the best deal I could find on ebay for a new IC that was the size i wanted, it claims to comes with a 2 year warranty.

I havnt installed it, but I doubt I will have any problems.

looks to be the same quality as a JRC or CCA, actually maybe a tad better



looks like my old DRAG model


but i would have to be a bit weary of a 65 dollar intecooler

I ran that intercooler and it didnt flow ----.Its rated at like 300 hp and on high boost an ancient greddy core stayed cooler.It is perfect for a low power hmt car.

No, tube/fin > bar/plate.

I had always heard other people and read on other forums that bar and plate was more efficient :-\, guess you learn something new everyday

Are this guys turbo's any good or are they just ssac crap?

let me do jd's work here. i remember he posted this in a thread a few months ago and so i dug it up:

Flow through the core is nothing, surface area for the charge to drag against and make as much contact with as possible so actual heat transferrence takes place is GOD. For the same core size and inlet size, the more efficient IC is the one with the bigger pressure drop.

- Radiation is where a subatomic particle carries energy, such as a photon (light), electron (ion), etc. Typically highly charged subatomic particle. Radiation can travel across a vacuum, such as sunlight across the solar system.

- Convection is where an actual atom/molecule absorbs heat/energy from rubbing (friction) against another atom/molecule.

2) Radiation is not what is happening in your IC.. therefore it is convection. By definition, this is a product of friction between the charge flowing through your IC and the IC itself. The more friction, the more heat is transferred out of the charge and into the IC.



So, yeah, you want to cool the intake charge, or do you want to worry about a pressure drop you'd never bother to measure anyway? Next thing you're going to tell me hp per psi is important. ::)

Mr.Davis was correct again



Oh and there turbo's are 99 percent sure the same low quality stuff from China



Im sorry all you guys are cheap but go to the yards and find some good rebuilt stock turbo's or spend the cash on a brand that is proven

HMTdmc 04-18-2006 05:35 PM

Re: pics of my 65$ ebay FMIC

it might not function as stated above, but it sure is nice looking. I think you got your wires crossed or need glasses.

conduction is the transfer of heat by friction of molecules.

convection is the transfer of heat due to movement through the air by which it rises.

Dude lick my balls. I was talking about the turbo's they sell. Look back I asked If their turbos were the same as ssac. And The other guy said he was 99% sure that the turbo's were of the same quality as ssac. Not talking about the inner cooler for 100 bucks to the front door it's a good deal. In fact I'm buying one.

I guess i should have quoted him to make it a little more clear. Keep up flaming all the noobs though it helps weed out idiot's.If noobs weren't flamed this would be honda tech inside of six months.
