Any Idea Where This Fits ????

[grinder]

Bought some new toys for the car - and just no idea where it fits ??

any ideas ?

and excuse the bad pics - indoors on a mobile never produces the best pics

so, you have actually got round to opening up the packaging then?

hmmm, did the pics on the CD Rom help at all?

[alban1973]

It look fine where it is stu:rollin  just need to swp two of the pipes around tho

[d-king]

i disagree , it needs movin slightly to the right lmao :0)

hiya chaps

i think it makes the couch look sooo much better !!

yeah i opened it - then put it all back and put it in the attic ( its the FC shrine for parts - FMIC , Coilovers , Exhausts , Strut Braces , Vented Headlight cover etc.. )

i think the CD pics will help once i start to fit it - i have no idea where anything goes - so it will be a challenge to say the least

my main concern is that i still have the air flow meter - god knows if it will fit around it ??

just need to sit with a pin and bend some of the fins straight - that will be one hell of a job though

That looks like the intercooler John (88-GT) uses, mounted horizontally at the front of the engine bay and up high - keeps the intake pipes short !
 
Did you get a throttle elbow with it as well, or are you modding the old one ?
 
And finally - when you fitting it ?:cool

[sadgoth]

I think John\'s is a bit bigger that\'s my old one (came off an Evo VI) Everything that Stu needs to fit it is there as I took it piece for piece off mine.

[grinder]

it mounts on the stock elbow - OK it adds another bend - but like mark said - it came off a FC so should fit nice

i did look into the greddy elbow - it just adds more money

Corr nice couch mister.....its one of dem wiked turbo ones init....do a burnout.....bet its well fast init......lol

[kev-yorks]

Stu are you feeling well spending money?

a lot of bends there stu,  you can loose up to 1 psi per bend in pressure drop.  Is there no way to get a more direct route?

[grinder]

so based on there being 8 bends - will i actually see any boost

and Kev - it was a moment of madness and parted with cash - i felt ill afterwards !! LOL

a more direct route - hummmm not sure to be honest - i reckon that you would have 4 bends on both sides regardless of how you did it

1 - out of the turbo
2 - along the pipe
3 - down to the IC
4 - into the IC

if there were more people running FMIC\'s in FC\'s then i would have a better idea - but there (a) isnt many people doing it (b)they havent told anyone that they are !

in a ideal world you would come out of the turbo into the IC and then out the IC into the throttle body - but i dont think there is the space on the car to do that - unless you can run the pipes at 45 degrees thru the side of the engine bay ?

I have to say, the number of bends was down to the engineering prowess of Matt!

[grinder]

the way i look at it - its got to be better than the TMIC

got the next project already brewing in the back of my mind - gonna stick the Apexi ECU on the car - just laying the ground work now

[sadgoth]

Apexi? is this a new departure? I didn\'t know you had an Apexi ECU?
