Brand New CXRacing FMIC Kit - $300 SHIPPED

This is a Brand New FMIC Kit by CXRacing for a Nissan 300zx. It has never been installed or used, the only reason the package has even been open is to make sure that it wasn't damages in delivery. Intercooler Kit from CXRacing direct is $450 not including shipping.

Link To the Porduct on the CXRacing Website

Good idea to sell it, but you'll have better luck on 300ZXClub.com where the people don't know any better than to put that kind of garbage on their cars.

Bad flow...

Anyone w/ a tig welder can fab up an IC these days, doesn't mean it flows well.

And why the crap can no one find the CLASSIFIEDS / FOR SALE section? I freaking made it impossible to miss!!!!!

From what I've read, their bad mostly because they block the needed airflow to the radiator and oil cooler. Hence why Nissan used SMICs instead of a FMIC

^ Not to mention negating the natural cross-flow design of the VG30DETT, the MASSIVE increase in pressure drop (and thus increased lag) due to their length, and the fact that two large SMICs have more surface area than all but the absolute largest FMICs (which, as just stated, block airflow to the radiator, oil cooler, and most importantly for performance, THE INTAKE).

Pick one... they're all pretty good, compared to stock.

I like my Stillen SMICs, Ash's are great, even the ( :gasp: ) Godspeed ones on eBay are far superior to stock.
