Front Mounts?

[mic]

What advantage does an FMIC have over a decent top mount, say an sti 7/8/9 one? Won't be running more than 400bhp

Cheers,

Better volumetric efficiency for your engine, as there is a greater area for heat dissipation. Running a small turbo would create more lag due to the larger/longer pipework?

Jimser is still on a top mount with well over 400.

advice from andy f if you just do quarter mile stick with top mout as ie lag and that are a minimum only go front mount if you do track days or drive on the roads top mounts heat up to quickly for the track and you lose power that was how he defined it for me

Cheers guys, probably best with fmic then

i found with my last scooby that once you get over say about 90mph the air which goes over the scoop rather than through it. it used to sent the temp gauge up a few notches

suppose then impreza's were more low to mid range cars.

Then i moved to a fmic and deffo noticed the differance
