woooo woooooo mine is out for delivery

 

Just got 1 in over here @ JSC Speed.

East Coasters could have this nice big FMIC before the weekend, unless I buy it first!

 

ahahha. put on the pressure.
i'll wait after my first track event to see how the car runs stock.
this is def. in the near future though.


good to know you guys are close by

 

my car is in line to be put up in the air and ahve a FMIC. pics and 1/8 mi numbers tonight

 

Right on! Kool!

 

Hey Alta, Could this be mounted for the R53 guys that are going full turbo? Does anyone(at Alta) want to test fit this on a R53? I am going full turbo in the future and this looks great.

P.S. I know it takes moddification, hence full turbo conversion.

 

Nice, can't wait to see pics and what your speculation is on it!

 

Hit me up when you're ready for this or anything else for your R56 and I'll give you the NAM offer-you-can't-refuse deal.

 

I can't get passenger side boost tube on fully, it's like it's not long enough.....what should I do!!??

 

scott48: I just gave you my cell in a pm. Call me I am home! No big deal!

 

ChrisMCS04: Who knows. I haven't even tried it!

 

If any of you guys want to sell the stock IC, shoot me a PM. Thanks.

 

I had the same prob witht he boost tubes. just had to break out the lube hehe

best 1/8th time

.058 light
i1 2.185
i2 6.174
et 9.473
mph 75.74

best light was .009 but i had bad wheel spin and ran a 9.9

not bad over all, car is still learning. and i have a check engine light. we did the job in a hr and forgot to plug back in the air tem sensor in the front bumper. car said it was -40 deg all night. hehe and my sc woldnt work on the way home. guessing the car was like WTF. its cold as **** why you want the ac on. damn auto ac hehe. any who. just have to do the bov now. didnt want to tap the intake manifold for the vac line. thats another day. pics tomorrow. i got it on then went right to the track.

 

You have an R56?, because I noticed above you mentioned on the way home your "sc" wouldn't work...supercharger?
and if you are an 07, what mods do you have to run a 9.4 1/8mile?
Thanks!

 

okay, so just finished up the install....took a little more Dremeling than expected so it took longer to get both boost tubes to fit properly....my car said it was -40 as well and had a check engine light after I started it up for the second time, but that was without the external air temp sensor plugged in, so I'll have to keep an eye on it to make sure the light goes away......it idles like before and when revved up, sound like before, so we'll see what happens.

 

same thing here, my car ran great tho, and i ment AC not sc, i do have a 07. right now i have the alta FMIC and intake, and a custom 3in exhaust from the flex pipe backm no muffler, second cat or anything. o and i had 100 oct in the car, ran out after a few runs on 93 and 100 was the only unleaded they had there. heheh

one 0f my co workers had his r53 with a intake, pully, jcw injectors nd unichip and he ran a 9.9

 

and the pictures.

pipe


jcw shift light


intake

 

It doesn't look level, or is that pic misleading.

 

yeah that really does look pretty off

 

its off by a smidge, i need to try and re align it. there isnt any play in it tho. its kinda odd. the stock clamps on the boost tubes are a pain in the *** to get on right so i was happy it was on. im gonna get the alta boost tubes soon and re align it all with more care.

 

Feel any power differance with the Alta FMIC?? i know u had the intake and your exhaust before so feel any more gains with the FMIC?...like is it noticable?

 

feels faster to me. never took it to the track before the fmic but it drives well. its not fast like OMG im flyin but i can tell its quicker

 

+1 I am also interested in your opinion on the increase in power. Please let us know your impressions.

Thanks!

 

cant wait to see the numbers

 

wouldnt it actually take a little bit for the ecu to adjust and learn the new composition of air that is entering the engine. i know this is the case with some cars usally takes like 50-80miles
