anyone got, or heard how good/bad this fmic is?

They're talking about the standard plastic bend by the arch but it has the map sensor in it so unless theres an easy way of housing that then we cant change it

im sure if u know a good fabricator then u could possibly get it done.

Have the same problem on my laguna intercooler i was looking at making pipe work up and using the map sensor house from either the forge cooler or the pro alloy on this pic under the cooler to the left.

dont know if can get them separet or not but would be good to work it out some way just never got round to figuring it out.

Yes, the standard MAP sensor tube... if you've ever cut one open (and I have) you'll relise just how small it is inside. You bext making a boss that can be welded to an allow pipe to house the MAP.

I used to have diagrams somewhere but can't find them for love nor money. Its an alloy rectangle with a radius to suit x-sized pipe welded onto the pipe then machined for MAP sensor and holding bolt (M5).

have you looked on fleabay at the focus air filters with the alloy tube that you bolt the airflow meter too just an idea i have got one in my garage if i decide to do my bt conversion i will let you know if it works.

Sorted gonna look in to changing that..

Just took the car out for a Run with the Pipes Shorter and It Goes Really good...Doesnt feel as Laggy..Boost seems to build 800rpm More than it did before..?

Cant belive how well it pull now..

That ebay link looks like the kinda thing we need but induction pipes are normally quite big so would need to check the pipe size

 

[mr_D]

would be good if it was the right size!

 

[Myki da Pyki]

I can see a pm to forge coming lol

 

[mr_D]

u could be right, u sort ur dv after?

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Goin 2 get a new spring for the dv then map sensor can be looked into

 

[mr_D]

did you find out if they do one. first things first

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Waiting for email back mate, they can defo get them tho there a dealer

 

[mr_D]

i just read that sewing machine oil is what turbosmart recommend

Replace this plastic squashed pipe with proper pipework and a MAP sensor from forge - job done

IMO the cooler looks v.small (not that much bigger than standard smic) and really not a fan of the pipework, i personally wouldnt go near it if you paid me, BUT it will be better than standard though for cooling and 10/10 for trying considering you have never "developed" a DIY kit before

Fair play

 

[mr_D]

whats wrong with the pipe work u can see. Its not ott and its direct! And its alot bigger than standard sits at the front nice and makes a big difference to standard

because its a nice pipe that connects to a shitty squashed plastic pipe!

 

[mr_D]

sorry david i dont know which one is squashed thats all mate. Me being blind. U on about one at the back. Suppose if the original plastic pipe was renewed with a fabricated one u could possible use i 90deg bend. Is that what u mean as well
