Explain it's to do with being male.

[Scotty_b]

Is black the only colour the silicon pipes some in?

[ForgeMotorsport]

The hoses will be available in Black and blue
Please state the colour you require

Cheeers

[bentaw]

i posted this on the other thread how thick is the core on the FMIC and is there any space left say for a future development by you guys to increase capacity of the FMIC

"A stone went through one of the stock ones. You'll never guess how much the dealer quoted for a replacement..."

"There's an aftermarket one that's better made, and it's cheaper. AND there just happens to be a group buy on at the moment!"

[ForgeMotorsport]

Long testing with various types of intercooler cores and different thickness of cores , lead us to settle on this sizing , you can get in a thicker core but only at the expense of cutting and more modifactions to trims etc , also the need for placing of " padding " to stop rubbing and inteference.

Thicker cores also saw an increase in pressure drop .
We believe this core is an excellant choice for the R and will more than cope with bigger turbo devleopments or custom tuning .

However if any customers wish to commision a custom build intercooler for thier own specifcation of car we will of course be happy to oblige

Cutting permitted :)

I am very interested, but realistically will only go for it if we hit that magical 10-15 participant mark. So come on the rest of you ;)

[ForgeMotorsport]

Shall I add you to the list to jolly things a long a little, and see how it goes ,

Fine by me.

Can you just remind me where the car would have to be delivered to for the fitting to be done? And how long you'd anticipate it to take?

[Ruddmeister]

They are based in Gloucester and they told me 3hrs ish, hope that helps ;)

[vern]

Steve any chance you can get the FMIC on for the awesome RR day? :D :whistle:

[Feel]

He said he was going to try...

[Blade]

think if he can i might be pursuaded. Assuming it gives a good result.

[ZBOYD]

If you can get me one made up for Awesome's RR day im interested, we'll fit it in the car park, very experienced at that , aren't we pasty squad. ;)

OK, OK, it's booked in on the Friday before at Forge, so yes it will be on the car :cheeky:

Z

Would be cool if you could do a before and after run at Awesome????

Probably crossed your mind already :cartman:

Steve

[ZBOYD]

That depends on Awesome really, and how much time they have available. I'll be there early and as i only live 20 mins away, not really bothered when i get away, so im flexible.

But depends on if I can have an FMIC :p and if Awesome can fit me in for 2 runs, don't want to take a run away from someone else, whos already on the list, wouldn't be fair.

[Dormouse]

What about removing the std numberplate for a square one? I note in the first post the std plate seems to block the FMIC. It's an issue in the Ibiza too. Lots of FMIC but lots of grill and bumper to block it too :(

Rgs

Dor.

[ZBOYD]

In the real world sense, looking at the phots of Scotts, i don't think it blocks it any more than the stock twin setup with the fog lights in the way, less so in my opinion, its a lot of directred air reaching it straight on, rather than it finding its way around the fog lights, even if you take them out, its still tunnelling it into the IC's, rather than a directed full on air supply.

[YerMother]

Just get a smaller plate like this guy! Steve's got a small number plate so he'll be fine with his FMIC :)

Easiest route is reduce the plate size, Fancyplates.com, 3/4 size plates ;)

I didn't say they were ;) rear is fully legal though :cartman:

That's much better! :). In the pic before (not sure if its the angle), there was almost 25% obscuration (not including buffering effect) :(

[m0rk]

Where does the air that hits the plate go? onto the intercooler..... so no point apart from convincing yourself of an improvement

The advantage I was after though was another couple of seconds longer for the Scamera van to lock on [:@] hopefully giving me a few extra seconds to see it, slow down etc :shrug:

;)

My Dad would love that then. Have a guess why... :doh:

It would be nice if more people were committing to this GB, as I'd like to do it, and seeing as I'm down in Cornwall next week, it would be a nice little trip on the way to or from there. Ho-hum. :shrug:

[Scotty_b]

With regard to the number plate, cant you just move it to over the fog light like the evos and alfas? Road leagl and more air to the IC?

:yes: would be easy enough to make a bracket to mount the plate onto your bumper, but will require screwing into the plastic unless you trust no more nails, but that would end up pulling the paint off :(

[Dormouse]

Only if it's slanted in toward the IC. On the Leon it's flat plate.

Remember when we dropped the ally deflector plate on your Ibiza TT with the 45 degree angle to push the air up the radiator because most of the rad wasn't exposed to the airflow? That the general principle :)

[Fl@pper]

was that on the bottom of the rad ? :confused:

found mines been running a tad hot lately (weather warm days) and mainly cos the bumper is all open at the front - originally put it down to engine still being tight etc but been playing with it the last week ;) couldnt afford flash ally plate so used the box off the george forman grille - lol

slanted up from bumper to rad lower (bout 45 degrees) and closed sides off at same time and dropped an average of 8/9 degrees on oil temp alone

got a local test road i noticed gauge was up to 5/8 and rising - modded as above runs 1/2 sweet as a nut

thanks for the ally tip - i was gonna use some wheel arch liner plastic

[Dormouse]

was that on the bottom of the rad ?

Yup, the bottom. Worked well.

Dor.

[m0rk]

My theory was that you'd get a 50/50 split

http://www.yourdictionary.com/images/ahd/jpg/A4aerody.jpg like the top image.

the TT needed iit because only about 1" was visible whereas the Leon already has a scoopy thing at the bottom luckily

Do you require mine even though I will only be going ahead if we hit that magical 15 mark? Or is it something that you could do a load of and then keep them for when they are required, as I'm sure they will? If we were to go ahead now, when would they be ready? It's just like I said either in this thread or the other, I am going past your way next week and could stop by, but just curious really.

Also curious about what peeps think about this and their warranty? I still have 2 years manufacturers warranty left and just wondered whether you thought this would void it? That is, more than the Revo because they can't see that... ;)

I’m currently working on the bank manager, to try and convince her that she needs one. :yes:

Rest assured you will not be charged until we get the GB done or the 15 total reached , it lets us see where we are going when ordering bumpers , air cores etc

Been thinking i'm gonna get the equal length after crimbo febuary time as i'm going on hols for a week so i can leave my car with willy! Other wise it's going to be a ball ache to sort out, getting up to scotland and all!

I have always been intersted in a FMIC and if i don't get it now i will kick myself later when it goes back up to full price :(

[Yumann]

Its a fair old price the FMIC.

Let me know when your getting it done so we can meet.

I'm trying to decide FMIC or sach coilovers :(

[YerMother]

Depends whether you wanna fork out an extra £200 for the FMIC later! Being the time of year it is i wasn't really interested but i have been gently pusuaded into buying one :redface:

I'm quite happy with the handling on mine so upto you matey :)

I will be getting unrated suspension at some point, but it's towards the bottom of my to-do-list at the mo :whistle:

Is this price a one off or will it happen again if there is another GB on it?

[YerMother]

Will be a while if there will ever be another GB! I would strike while the iron is hot if i were you mate ;)

[Ruddmeister]

Bring the bits to Awesome, seems we could be having a fitting party in the car park :p Im bringing my boost guage too, may aswell, get the whole lot done :D

I am ordering a Carbonio CAI which I will be fitting in the car park too, thought I'd try it as I won't have an SMIC to get in the way (I have ways of making it fit the LCR MAF :cheeky: ) Awesomes car park will look pretty funny with all these LCR's in bits.

[ZBOYD]

There maybe a future group buy, whether or not the same number of people maybe interested to bring the price suitably low enough.

This is a good deal, for a very well engineered kit, remember this also includes a new crash bar, and requires no cutting or shutting to make it fit, its been developed on a Cupra R for a Cupra R.

As has been said, i'd strike whike the iron's hot, i know i have. Even though im skint :p Too good an offer to pass up really, considering it retails for well over £800 usually.

Carbonio won't fit i don't think mate! Because the MAF housing is bigger! Not 100% sure though!

Just a big Z in the middle :yes:

[Ruddmeister]

Carbonio won't fit i don't think mate! Because the MAF housing is bigger! Not 100% sure though!

LOL re-read my post

..........(I have ways of making it fit the LCR MAF :cheeky: )

Thats what they told me with the Fabia vRS FMIC GB.........and I wasnt dissapointed. :lol:

Well engineered and a doddle to fit in your driveway. Thanks forge(Since you dont hang about briskoda now :lol: )

As this is a new product and we are just launching it , it only applies to a direct Forge sale at this time

Hmm if only that was true for us novices !

No reason why not which is why I asked Forge about supply of

http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=1305&product=FMIND01

Should fit without an SMIC in the way

But they are not responding to my PM's....................yet :shrug:

You guys going to do a fitting guide from the car park for us. :D

[warren_cox]

Come on then, if I can have some BLACK pipes, NOT BLUE, and a vanilla finish (eg not Logo'd) you can count me in as well. Gotta keep it stealthy from the missus.

I will have the kit + P&P, and do a self fit job to make me feel like I'm exercising some level of constraint. Will call you with my details later today.

I guess that puts us at 7

I knew it was only a matter of time........

I've been trying to exercise a little restraint but I was on holiday for 10 days so managed to hold off a little longer than I thought. RevoKev said the Stg2 would run a higher boost setting with it on so its kind of 'essential'(!)

Can you still fit front fogs with the FMIC or do they have to go.

[YerMother]

:yes: fogs fit see :)

Do you have an exact date when your going to close the group buy?

Unfortunately I’m not going to the Awesome RR day, but Steve just lives down the road so would like to have a look and get some feedback before committing.

We will probably leave it for a week after the Awesome RR day just to give you guys time to think about joining :)

Does that mean cos we got to the magic number 10, then we get more of a discount then? :lol: ;)

[Scotty_b]

Does the FMIC connect to the TOP two standard IC hoses or are these new as well?

[YerMother]

Connects to the left intercooler pipe and the plastic pipe under the battery with the MAP sensor in!

[ForgeMotorsport]

See below ...... we went straight to the lowest discount some time ago



You know what

I ve just had a cuppa tea and I am feeling good

so we are going to take this GB straight to the lowest level pricing
at £ 673 incl vat + £ 15.00 carriage
Fitting is still £ 117.00 incl vat

This is a cracking deal , if any of you were undecided , I hope that this will sway you to coming on board

[ZBOYD]

Is that for the karma mate :D

[warren_cox]

What inlet temps you seeing at the mo with stage 2?

I can't quote exactly, just hoping that they drop as stg 2 makes it cook. My carbon engine cover has discoloured as its running so hot under the hood. With better cooling I can ramp to boost settings up and not be worried about chronic heat soak. Sorry I cant be more specific!

how about now?

[Mitchy]

I'll have a good look at this tomorrow and decide then whether to splash more cash on the car.

Its not a bad price as the hoses alone cost a fortune to buy!

It would be good to have a before and after comparison on the rollers of the SMIC vs FMIC.

Did i hear someone mention they were fitting 1 in the car park?

[Saul]

hahaha

in the rain, that may "dampen" the spirits of enthusiasm some what

[ZBOYD]

Your fitting it though :p

[ZBOYD]

Id like to do a before and after, however it would probably mean someone doing without a run, which is not very fair. So i guess my run will be done with my FMIC fitted.

This is of course all academic, it may not be ready, so Steve won't be able to bring it up with him.

[xJib]

This is of course all academic, it may not be ready, so Steve won't be able to bring it up with him.

No news from the frontline yet then. :bounce:

[ZBOYD]

Saul, has just informed me, that Steve has his on, and has mine with him too ;)

This is of course all academic, it may not be ready, so Steve won't be able to bring it up with him.

Surely you can get an early run with the SMIC and then run last of the day when everyone else is finished.

It would be very good to note any differences but agree may not be possible if the day is jam packed full with cars!

[ZBOYD]

Depends on 2 Factors :

1. If they have time.
2. £60 of my money :blink:

;)

[Mitchy]

I'll let you get in before me if you want as im 2nd on the list so a nice early run for you!

im sure awesome will accomodate you running last also to get a direct comparison of SMIC and FMIC.

They would be interested in the differences in results aswell so i cant see why they wouldn't! I doubt any other SCN member minding as its good info to have.

Would help me make up my mind also on whether to buy 1 ;) Pretty please ;)

[ZBOYD]

Up to me, Saul and Awesome to sort out, if it can happen it will. Im there all day from the beginning to the end.

Is that Pretty Please and £30 ;)

[DDX]

what about some vagcom runs before and after ? (MAF/temp?)

[m0rk]

not much point straight after as you won't have any adaptation, nor optimum SPS3 settings

[Ruddmeister]

Saul, has just informed me, that Steve has his on, and has mine with him too ;)

Yes the technology I have only stretched to a phone so I text Saul to reassure you Z ;)

Have to say folks initially I was slightly dissapointed in the product BUT just like when I fitted a new MAF or whatever I have learnt to be patient. Now it's been on 48hrs and the drive back from Awesome was really good.

Benefits;-
Pulls Really hard all the time
Pulls for longer up the Rev range
Opportunity to run more Timing and Boosrt using my SPS3
Every run now feels like the car did on those cool morning runs
I could swear slightly better fuel economy :shrug:
Looks Cool

48hrs on and I'm in no doubt that this is a great mod and great value for money

Very impressed though with the facility in Gloucester, thankyou Forge crew for your hospitality on the day and the drive of the Golf.

Just a shame the CAI didn;t fit :(

If anyone from Forge reads this I suggested a few more photo's be posted on here of the installation (I know some were taken) obviously I couldn't take any for Health and safety reasons. I was surprised at just how many bits my money bought me ;)

[ZBOYD]

I'll post some later, but maybe more likely tomorrow, as a family crisis has arisen, and im needed. :(

Are you talking about Forge's KONA High Velocity Induction System :confused:

If so are they going to do something about it as I wanted one of those :(

[Mr Roboto]

Forge now say on website that the KONA High Velocity Induction System doesn't fit the Cupra R :cry:

surely there must be more room in the engine bay now you have had the FMIC fitted?

[m0rk]

The pipes get in the way still.

[wild willy]

m0rk, thats a job well done on the fmic install. How long would you estimate it would take a novice to fit on his own.

[m0rk]

about 3hrs (assuming you have tools to hand)

some jobs are 3 handed though.

[Ruddmeister]

Are you talking about Forge's KONA High Velocity Induction System :confused:

Yes

You'll need to ask Peter as you, me and Empi5 were interested they may be able to do something :confused:

[YerMother]

Anyone mentioned the lineing up issue with the crash bar?

[vern]

Anyone mentioned the lineing up issue with the crash bar?
I made the bolts fit :) m0rk was gonna have a word with forge ;)

[RichardBW]

They are genuine SEAT bumpers and we have noticed that some holes do not line up on both the Ibiza and Leon ones, it always seems to be a different hole every time we fit one so I am not sure how these crash bars are actually manufactured? We just buy them, modify the centre and then re-strengthen, we dont touch the bolt pattern ends at all. I hate to say this but we dont have this issue with Skoda or VW crash bars! Lets just pass the blame to the Spanish for now ;)

[ZBOYD]

The lads seemed to have it well in hand regardless. They did a good job, I was happy anyway. smart bit of kit. Thanks. :)

[ml28180]

A question for those of you who have had this done or are going to: Have you declared it to your insurance company and what did they say? Who do you use, as if I go ahead with my current insurer, Elephant, they won't insure me anymore!

[ZBOYD]

Just to demonstrate this well thought out kit. And why you definately won't be dissapointed.

Brought to me by Ruddmeister, cheers mate :)

Then installed in around 2.5 hours by m0rk and vern. Many thanks chaps. I then went out to give it a good thrash to make sure nothing was going to pop off, and everything was running fault free.

Car felt much more urgent and pulled harder, I have not fiddled with my SPS settings, and left it as it was setup before by Kev, when I had the stage 2 (4bar) code installed a few weeks back, that was set at lowboost-9 and timing-6 running on a full fresh tank of optimax.

It was driven onto the rolling road, and sat ticking over for a few moments while we chatted with Jim, the fans on the RR were not running at this point..

Once i started up VAG COM to start logging, we first saw 60degree inlet temps, this was due to the ambient temp of the room, and the fact the car was sat idling on the RR.

Once the fans came on, it quickly started to drop into the low 50's.

First run, at full load, we were seeing around 37-38 degrees inlet. On coastdown/overrun, it went up to 45degrees maximum.

It then went onto do this consistantly the same for each run. Very cool ;)

Comapred to Saul's car, I appreciate its not a Leon R, but as a loose comparison his intake temps on his single standard IC (1.8T Toledo) were over 70 degrees.

Also my car had 0 timing pull during all its 3 runs, so for the future, we now need to fiddle a bit, and up the timing and boost and do some more logging, plenty more scope for a bit more power. :D

m0rk is doing some graphs for the inlet temps we measured on the day during its three back to back RR runs. We'll add those to this thread soon.

Many thanks to the chaps at Forge, great kit.

In the meantime some pics for you to look at from the hilarity that was the fitting session: (click thumbnails for full size images)

Well worth it Z, nice kit anyone who is in 2 minds, dont worry, it is easy to fit, and does what it says, roll on summer Z, plug in the sps3 and ramp it up ;)

My head looks shiny, head board friction :p not as shiny as stu's cr@ck though :blink:

[m0rk]

I know Z always said he wanted to stamp on Steve's head, but this is silly

[ForgeMotorsport]

Maybe after this GB has finished

[Empi5]

I know Im being a nuisance and Im sure everybody is doing what they can to get them finished, but is there any word whether or not i will have mine by Monday ! I will be one unpopular person if I call and cancel my install, after they have turned work away !

[ForgeMotorsport]

You are not being a nuisance
I should have more news later I am on the case and will be back

[ForgeMotorsport]

you are all just mean and horrible and im telling my mum :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[ml28180]

Could those of you who have had/are having this done tell me who they're insured with and what they said about you having this done? Cheers

[Empi5]

more news Monday ,It " should be ok " with a bit of luck

Unfortunatly i need a bit more definate answer than that peter, do you expect me to take my car into the garage with the off chance that it might be delivered, i will be having their courtesy car etc etc.

Unless you can guarantee that it will be there Monday, then Im not going to mess the garage about, and will have to reschedule the install, whenever that may be !

[YerMother]

What did your insurance say about your other mods?

[ml28180]

What did your insurance say about your other mods?

Mine?

They said "Non standard filters and 10% performance increase, that'll be £63 please". They have refused to insure me with an FMIC and when I got a quote from Adrian Flux, they quoted £2200.

[Empi5]

Well as Ive heard nothing, Ive had to cancel my install monday.

No doubt you will be in touch when its ready.

[ForgeMotorsport]
