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

[Myki da Pyki]

We're always here for advice dan and the critism is productive not criticle, only pointing out it could have been done better

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

I know that..''KNOW''

I just got a Message "Someone Slagging you car and FMIC to bits"...
gonna go a fit it behind the cooler Now...

Now that I know ''How To do it"

 

[m0rk]

exactly.....

You'll wish you did a better job when you're stranded at 2am in teh rain having clipped a speed bump ripping that pipe off.

There's better routes to put the pipe

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Dont worry dan we all gota learn mate.

If you work along the lines the laguna pipework goes on that sort you out mate

yeah i did have to buy new jubilee clips because they were too small, gold, and way to soft. Have spoken with dan and he is refunding me the money for them. yeah my pipes are done better than that but they dont go behind the intercooler. They sit higher than the sump and higher than the front bumper plus the route is shorter. It just goes straight back from the front. No bends or joins, I finished it today and i can defo feel a big difference but i have no idea how to do logs. So rhys is going to help me do that soon. Will post them once they have been done.

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Done it...Man What a better way this was..

Also am i right in thinking that the Shorter the IC pipes route the better? Im sure i read that some were..

Well it was at the bottom of the sump..So it was kinda Level with the bottom on my LCR splitter..
Ive done it this way as i found it alot easyer and its alteast a 1ft Shorter .. and is 3'' 1/4 higher than it was Before.( I Measured it) I just need some Metal cable ties now but it will do for now..

pics:

This were i got the 1st idea from:

 

[mr_D]

you did that quick. Well on the left as u look at car front on. Mine comes down 90deg then 90deg but twisted and straight back to where it goes up. Its jammed in tight and runs up against chassis. And like i said my sump is lower and so is front bumper.

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

The Pipes are no 1/2 above the bottom of the FMIC So its no were near the floor...

 

[mr_D]

i take it you had the pipe work there then!

 

[Chez]

thanks for the replies folks.
im still looking at either this one or the forge one as the 2 ill choose between.

quick Q,
how does the ic attach to the crash bar? it looks like it hangs on screwed rod?.

cheers

 

[mr_D]

yeah it is attached by threaded rods. i have 3 on mine and big a** sparcer's in between. mine aint going no where. plus i havent cut the front out of mine, i still have the center section of the bumper

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Much better now dan.

Ry ive got that pic you sent me i can upload it if you want me to mate?

Why do people keep the restrictive bend in when trying to do a power modification...? Suppose you do save £££ on a proper kit though.

 

[mr_D]

myki if u want u can. It is alot higher than that now due to me actually tightening it up. But yeah go for it. I will add the finished product later as well.

I was thinkin the exact same thing.

 

[SEATCOOBER]

where can you get the pipe with the sensor bit on it?

 

[Myki da Pyki]

where can you get the pipe with the sensor bit on it?

Tis a good question. I wanted to change mine but realised it had the map sensor in it

 

[SEATCOOBER]

could a maf housing be modded to fit?

 

[bgasmatt]

yeah m8 if you have really long pipe run turbo lag land here we come.
