I’m looking to get an FMIC for my S13 Blacktop, i’ve narrowed my options down to: Greddy LS Spec ARC Turn Flow but I’m only able to find the ARC Turn Flow for S15 and RB25, anyone know if they will be compatible? I was thinking just staying SMIC, but since i got the engine out, i can do it up all at once. What do you guys think? 😮 ---

Ask how many people have an Ebay front mount, how well it performs and how little money they needed to spend. Not only that but it has GREAT fitment! ---

Cool, i’ll look into that, but I’ve always been told “you get what you pay for” and that’s what usually comes back and kicks you in the ass \>.\< Aren’t there flow/ cooling differences between brand name opposed to no name? ---

Surprisingly the ebay fm’s are great quality. The kit has t-bolt clamps, 4 ply silicone couplers, great welds on all piping and non leaking cores. ---

Hey boys! XSPOWER shit works good… I’m sure if you get down into it the ic wouldn’t stack up to top name brands, but there is a link somewhere on the net showing the diff between cheap front mounts and high end $$ front mounts. The high end front mounts do work a bit better & it’s like they say you get what you pay for. In any case I personally can’t justify spending $1400 - $2000 on an IC setup. ---

That ebay kit is gay… no hotpipe & 2" hotside from the core… that means you still have to spend more on piping and you only have a 2" hotside… what happens if you want to make real power? plus ordering from the US you are 80% going to get hit with customs…and since it gets shipped in 2 boxes good luck slipping it through. I have FMIC kits with better cores, full piping (including hotpipe) and they have a 2.25" ID hotside… ---

Have you been able to find a turn flow? I’m looking for one as well for an S14. Bing, would your skyline FMIC kit work for an RB in an S14? ---

I’ve been told [RB-performance.net](http://RB-performance.net) carries them for RB20’s but they’re site has been down for a while. I found another site that carried them but they look quite pricey especially when you have to ship it from the US too :S ---

i paid 275$ to my door for my Skyline customs fees included. Im 100% sure ebay fmic kits for an s13 is cheaper. Go with that. If your core starts leaking after a year you can buy a new core for 60$ american. You cant lose ---

Core not sure ( no name brand, but it works) and yes piping has some u’s and 90 degree bends with a couple of straights . [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fmic-question/126636.md?page=2)
