I just bought a TMIC yanked from an FC RX7. They can be front mounted however I was thinking of being clever/creative and top mounting and cutting some clever holes in the hood and possibly use an electric fan to help my cause. Anyone here ever do anything like this? how'd it go?

You don't want to use that little IC. They don't flow very well at all...
I'm more interested in ideas on how to top mount it.

It's too small, that's why it wont flow good. You dont need flow data to determine that...
The TMIC's that came with the RB engine are fairly thick for a TMIC and even they are no good for anything above stock boost.Attached Files

Hey Homestar
Know anyone that has a TII rex for sale like that white one in the pictures. It would be awesome to have a pearl white turbo rex next to my pearl white turbo Z.

Terrible idea putting those wheels on...

THe flow info is just based on talking to Fc owners and reading online. I don't have data on it, but I know it's one of the first things they upgrade on their engine (which makes just 185-200hp intercooled with stock exhaust and boost). I'm sure it will work for you.
I would somehow mount it about where the AC compressor used to sit, if it could fit there...
