All performance enthusiasts know that heat is our enemy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbutton type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-primary\"\u003eWhat Makes cp-e® FMIC's Different?\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to help fight this battle,¬†cp-e®¬†set out to design a¬†FMIC¬†that would work well with the factory turbo, while allowing room for future upgrades to larger¬†turbos. Featuring a massive core, measuring out at 24\" x 9.5\" by 3.25\" it has unique cast¬†endtanks¬†with a 2.5\" inlet and a 2.75\" outlet.¬† The¬†endtanks¬†were cast to allow for efficient airflow through the core.¬† By minimizing restrictions we minimized the pressure drop from¬†endtank¬†to¬†endtank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to fit such a massive core,¬†cp-e®¬†had to design a bumper replacement to allow for clearance and provide a very rigid mounting structure for the core.¬† This was done out of billet steel components to provide the most strength possible.¬† One of the features that¬†cp-e®¬†is most proud of is that you can reuse your stock¬†towhook, this feature is designed into the factory bumper so¬†cp-e®¬†felt it best to design it into our bumper as well. To prevent rust and provide a stealth appearance the bumper bar is¬†powdercoated¬†black.¬† The core is mounted to the bumper with billet aluminum¬†cnc¬†machined and formed brackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe¬†FMIC¬†kit features 2.5\" pipe from the turbo to the¬†intercooler¬†and 2.75\" pipe from theintercooler¬†to the throttle body.¬† The piping is mandrel bent and bead rolled to allow for higher boost pressures.¬† The kit includes black silicone hoses and t-bolt stainless steel clamps.¬† The t-bolts help everything seal properly and deal with the higher boost pressures this core was design to handle.¬† The¬†BOV¬†placement is right next to the stock throttle body and features a stock bolt pattern.¬† This allows people to use whatever¬†BOV¬†they already have in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eColor\u003c\/b\u003e - titan; black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e - aluminum; silicone; stainless-steel\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CPE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48148707574018,"sku":"CPE-MZCK00002B","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/0618\/0354\/files\/img_67ea7ec7bc90e.jpg?v=1785017215","url":"https:\/\/www.lethalperformance.com\/products\/cpe-coretm-mazda-mazdaspeed3-gen2-fmic-mzck00002b","provider":"Lethal Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
