ok so im thinkin bout getting rid of my fmic(i have yet to buy piping, that and the fmic i have was on my car when i got it and i dont trust the stuff that was on there cause it was all cheap parts) and getting this full kit ic and pipes, because i want a good kit but not hks 1200$ good haha so has anyone bought this kit that can vouch for it? i mean its 600$ for the complete set and it looks pretty decent, let me know, or if you have alternatives throw me one

man up and get a greddy

 

i want to but im trying to get my T2 done by the end of the month, and like i said the kit seems legit. im too impatient to save 1400$, that and its 100$ less than i payed for the dang car!

 

You do realize that that company is NOT in the USA?
By the time you pay for shipping and customs, it's going to end up closer to $1,000...

$100 eBay FMIC core
$100 eBay intercooler piping kit
$100 GReddy TB adapter

How much cheaper can you get???

Fab up the brackets to mount the intercooler...

If you wanna keep the BAC valve for idle, then you need to fab a fitting.

Don't forget the BOV...

Ted,

Do you think the package you specified would make more sense than getting a dented up TII hood fixed and painted up or buying a CF hood? I'm putting the TII into the vert next weekend and the hood problem is the last major task to overcome.

Thanks,

Jim

 

You really should start your own thread...

The problem with going with an FMIC is that in entails a lot of other mods / costs that just adds to the spending.
On top of everything else I mentioned, you really need to have an upgrade radiator installed.
With the FMIC mounted up front (before the radiator), the cooling system is going to get stressed.
Luckily, the AFCO Racing units we use (80125N) is priced under $250 - but you need to do some fabbing and cutting to get it to fit.
Also, the battery needs to be relocated if you're using a rad as big as this - 26" wide by 19" tall.

So, this "cheap" FMIC ends up ultimately costing several hundred dollars!
In the end, it is the right way to do this, but this is, by no means, "cheap".

Ah, kinda expected that!

Thanks!

 

yeah i saw it was in australia the international mail said it was gonna total out to be like 670 or somethin so your saying theyre going to magically charge me to get it into the u.s.?

and the fmic i have is already mounted, i have a hks ssq all i need is the pipes but i cant do the bends myself
where might i find this greddy tb adapter, i went to their site couldnt find it, and i dont know if my bac is already removed or is still there id need a picture of it to identify it, or information as to where it is on ma car so i can look myself.. :\

and guy askin the irrelevant please dont thread jack man

 

Out of curiosity, what do you have to do to fab an FMIC kit that lets you keep your AC and doesn't have horrible air flow to the radiator, oil cooler, and condenser?

 

really small fmic and pipes? haha

 

Ever tried to order something that costs that much money and ship it into the USA?
It's called a customs declaration form, and don't be surprised you get stuck with another bill once it's landed in the USA...
You should try it sometime...


It's called "eBay".
They have universal intercooler pipes kits all over the damn place.
If you can cut and measure bent pipes, then this is all you need.
They come with silicone couplers too - some even have clamps.

and nah ive never ordered anything international do they have like a set amount of money before they customs charge you or anything cause i was gonna end up ordering a few other things off that site that werent so expensive

and yeah i know that man and i was gonna buy one but i dont have the stuff to bend the pipes a mandrel i believe its called?
