172* all the time. Intake temps are different though, and ever since I pulled that bottom honeycomb the car surges.

You need some sort of ducting in there in order to direct air flow through the FMIC and the radiator. Most people don't think of that when they put their FMIC on but you do. Air won't go into the FMIC and radiator by itself. It'd rather go the easy way, around it. So, get yourself some sheet metal and start cutting some ducting.

I can't say that it isn't but I do know most DSMs tend to run hotter with a FMIC in front of the radiator.

But you also don't have anything directing the air in to the radiator.

QUOTE (mitsu90 @ Nov 23 2005, 08:45 PM) get rid of that POS slim fan and put the stocker back on. I agree with mitsu90, Take it out. It doesn't pull the same amount of air as the stocker. -------------------- Thanks, Bud!

I'm not saying its not the ducting or the slim fan thats causing the hot temps, but I'm skeptical.
I run a fmic without any ducting to the radiator and have never had an overheating issue. I also run two slim fans on my radiator each capable of flowing 2000 cfm a piece. This is more than the stockers are capable of pulling. I guess it depends on what kind of aftermarke fan you are using, but most are capable of pulling quite a bit of air. |
