My New Singlepass FMIC

[Mikey_H]

Hi Everyone,

After having problems with my old fmic i spoke to many companies about making a single pass fmic for the mk4 tdi and everyone kept saying yea in a few months.... well i spoke to Mike at Jabba and he said bring it straight down and he would custom make me one... so i did and now......

I have this massive core couldn't belive they got this in there.....

He has also built in flaps on the edge of the intercooler so the air can't go anywhere but into the intercooler.....

you can just about see it on the right hand side..


also changed all the pipework to 2.5" alloy pipework apart from corners which are silocone for movement purposes will post a pic up in a bit of that....


Then he re-mapped it again for the 5th or 6th time here is one of the printouts....

dunno how well you can see it but thats 240bhp and 497 nm thats with air temps of 23degrees, with regards to intake temps went out last night caning it around nearly to the limiter to see how high i could get the temps to and the highest i managed was 31 degrees the outside temp was 14 i was well impressed also it now boosts to 35psi overboost then settles down to about 31-32 but last night i did get the boost gauge roud to 40 psi

all comments welcomed....except bad ones haha joking...

Singlepass what does that mean

Does it mean that the inlet and outlet are on opposite sides?

Looks huge BTW

 

[Mikey_H]

Your exactly right mate rather than the air coming in and going out on the same side which makes for bad air flow this one goes straight through, I couldn't belive how big the core was when i got there last night to pick it up haha

Now for the all important question ................




















Has it quit smoking

 

[Mikey_H]

well.... haha it doesn't smoke as bad as it used to its more of a small puff of smoke then it stops whereas before it used to stream out constantly when i floored it so yea i suppose it has a bit.....

 

[UncleFester]

Small amount of smoke under load is fine - as long as you're not looking like the flying scotsman under full load that's a definite improvement

For the younger members

 

[Mikey_H]

hahaha good photo mate doesn't look like that ANYMORE but it used to haha

 

[pauliepaul]

wow, that looks/sounds awesome. nothing like a nice bit of custom building

I can't believe how much torque can get channeled through just 2 wheels!!! you must have to be rather gentle on the old right foot!

 

[rashcupra]

nice work mike! wanna get 1 made for mine now

 

[Mikey_H]

call mike or nick mate see what they can do just been out racing steve and my temps didn't go above 31 sooo pleased had it boosting to 40psi this morning

 

[Clark10]

Is the Sachs clutch ok with that amount of torque? I can't remember what they're rated to.

 

[Mikey_H]

well so far so good haven't had any problems yet i thought it was rated to 400 ft/lb not sure though will be getting a new clutch next year anyway when i get the torque over the 400 mark

Whats the lag like?

I would have thought, that longer boost pipes would have made it a tad laggier?

Does look smart tho...

 

[diss_50]

WOW! That looks nice! - They say the Seat Sport FMIC is the best too. I wouldnt mind one of them in my tdi (pm on its way). Alot of work done to it too. :

Hi mate i'm not just saying this but my car has no lag atal you change gear put your foot down and it just goes straight away when i had the diesel dumpvalve on it it lagged a bit but not now although the pipes are longer they are also wider and have no tight bends the whole way round so the air flows alot lot better!!

Hi mate thanks for the nice comments good luck with yours, yea the seat sport one was "the best" but i now belive there is a new best with this thing if you ask anyone in the cooling industry what the best type of fmic is, they will say singlepass, shortest run possible and airflow although the boostrun has been increased slightly because of the bigger bore pipes and all the sharp corners removed the air actually flows better, mike told me when he rr'd the car just after he had put the fmic on before he touched the map the car moved from 228bhp to 232bhp without touching the map..... this intercooler is awesome

 

[John-Cupra_TDI]

That thing is massive. Nice work. 240 Bhp sounds like fun, need to strart saving. lol

 

[sooty22]

wow thats cool quite literaly..... thimk its tm e to get rid of my forge fmic lol....

haha thanks mate it is pretty fun but wheelspins ALOT!!!

like i said mate just the fmic itself put the bhp up by 4 with a good map it makes a big big difference and also helps you keep the power when you are driving hard whereas before i used to loose the power when my intake temps get to high, have you checked your intake temp levels??
