Just got my FMIC on and went for a test drive!

I got everything mounted and bolted up. She runs great other than the stumble at idle if I come off full throttle directly to clutch (I think it is the Blitz Super Sound piston type BOV)

Now to the heart of my post:
For the s13 guys and gals w/ a fmic how do you get more air to your radiator. My radiator already doesn't like the lack of air getting to it. The fitment of the IC is blocking all of the air that used to get to my rad.
Are there any suggestions on how to get more air to the radiator? I know already that I need to go w/ a dual puller fan (have a single now) But I am not sure that is going to help me in the dead of summer. I have never had an overheating problem before now.

BTW I will have pics up tommorow of everything!

My setup:
Greddy FMIC
Blitz s14 piping (just about fit perfectly)
Blitz Super Sound BOV
Stock hot piping

Or make your own like this guy (http://forums.freshalloy.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB9&Number=67327335&page=3&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1)

or get a vented hood to get temps down a bit if you're worried about air being blocked

Cool deal. Looks like you got a setup you're happy with. I don't want to give bad advice about your radiator, but I would like to say that hood is fugly.

i wish i had to worry about blocking my radiator with an intercooler :(

I think the hood is fugly myself. :eek:

I completely forgot about the cooling panel and to top it off I posted on that thread:rolleyes: ::i'm a dumba$s:: Thanks for the advice.

I am just going to pick up another single puller and run them together. I also will find a source for the cooling panel (cause I suck at fabbing stuff up myself:p ) but I refuse to pay $225 for CF bling bling not to mention the massive shipping charges that will apply.

To top it all off I pieced together my fmic kit for $450;) Sometimes it pays to be patient and cheap!
