FMIC Fitting - Howto... 56K be ware

Post by Vlade »

Howsit all, since I've seen so many guys doing / wanted to do a FMIC... here is how I did it...

Image
300x600x76 IC from Turbo & Nos

Image
One of the inlets 76mm

Image
In one of the tanks

Image
Side tank shot

Image
IC stand alone

Image
Preparing to remove the bumper at my bud, Martin's house

Image
Removing the bolts, there are a view hidden quite deep into the arch and its a bitch to reach

Image
Bumper removed, you can see the actual "Crash" bumper, I decided to keep mind and just mod it, incase of a fender bender my car won't crumple the whole car, a pic later will show how I had to mod it to fit

Image
IC mounted, we used 3mm flat bar to mount the IC, the top mounting brackets mounted to the same place where the hooters go

Image
Left side outlet, note how it clears the toe linkage

Image
Inlet, one can still see the old IC ducting

Image
Clearance between the radiator and IC, if you look closely you'll see the bottom mounting brackets

Image
Modded bumper, not the piece I had to cut out in order to refit the bumper over the IC

Image
Front view of the IC, note the top mounting brackets

Image
Cold pipe, you'll note that my battery is missing, that is because I moved it to the boot, I also needed to make a hole in the old battery holder for the cold pipe to come through

Image
Cold pipe through battery holder

Image
A pic of the enlarged hole at the hot pipe side

Image
Complete fit... Not shown in any of the pictures is the water washer bottle on the left hand side, this was moved in order to have the cold pipes run through, I had my pipes specifically bend in order for the bottle to fit

Image
Hot pipe side, NO MORE WMIC Yeah :lol:

Image
Top view of the hot pipe

Image
Top view of the cold pipe

Image
In order to fit the bumper back on, we needed to cut away some of the ducting, the bumper is made from polyurethane and we used a simple Handheld angle grinder. Wear some masks the smell is really horrible, we got lekka high from it

Image
My bud Andre working his magic

Image
All cutting done, note how much of the bumper we removed

Unfortunately I never took a pic of the completed project... Will do so soon

I'm a bit sluggish on removing the bumper and stuff so did it without removing the bumper, did it in about 2 hours but it is not fitted yet need a place to do the pipes and some flat bar first to fasten it.
