Newbie FC3S series 5 13BT

[turbointhebrain]

Hey all,
 
The names Ross, am 25, and live in Armagh, N. Ireland. Have been a signed up to MRC for a couple of years but only recently became a \'proper member\'.
Since catching the rotary bug i have always wanted a series 13BT japper! So ever since the beginning of \'09 i got in contact with Andy Gray @ powervehicles.com, gave him a spec outline and asked him to look out for a FC for me.
 
Then whilst visiting Japan with the lads on holiday Andy took me to see what he had found. I instantly fell in love! It was a bit higher spec (and therefore more yens) than i was looking. But hey, spec it big \'n\' you\'ll never get bored!!
 
So forked out the yen, waited 3 months, forked out some euro, payed the queen and i have me a FC3S (and no money)!!
 
the spec is as follows: -

Hey Ross. Like I\'ve said before Nice Car. It looks proper clean and I\'m sure you\'ll have a lot of fun with her.
If you could get some pic\'s of the front mount install for me you\'d make my day. I have one waiting to go on at some point. I\'m not sure I have all the pipework though looking at yours.
Anyway back on topic. Thats a bad ass FC enjoy mate!

Cheers tiddles, will pull a few things off tonite and get a couple of pics gathered up! Pipe work doesn\'t seem that complicated, easy fabed.

Cheers prof, don\'t overly like blue cars, just turned out they happened to be  similar in colour! Wouldn\'t change it though

[L18M]

nice spec! thats gonne be quick!

cheer Liam, yeah, had it out for a run the other day, she\'s a bit of a handful!!

[turbointhebrain]

Tiddles,  as promised (sorry about previous delay!).  Let me know if these are any good or if you need any more or measurements, etc.

Re-am. Inlet nesty thing

FMIC

[TiddlesRX7]

Wow thank you. Nice detailed photo\'s. From the looks of it I have roughly half the pipework needed. Well enough for the cold side looking at yours. I think mine must be a copy intercooler (I can\'t see anything cast into it to identify it) as the hot side intake is slightly different to yours I think from memory. Anyway thanks again thats a big help. If I get stuck along the way I may give you a shout if thats ok.

[m1tch]

You have tertiary injectors that aren\'t connected? lol

Nice cars mate

btw, are those twin oil coolers?

Ah ok lol I will be running a third rail for my turbo setup lol so keep them as you might need them What injectors do you have in the car at the moment? such a large turbo might be needing the extra fueling, what A/F is it mapped to? Also be careful if its been mapped in japan as the will use 100RON fuel!

What power is the stillway coolers rated to? I havn\'t found a set of twin coolers that are more effiecent than the OEM FC ones as the OEM cooler is rated to about 500bhp

Oh big questions now, don\'t know the answers to them all! In terms of injectors, it defo has uprated secondarys, volume wise unsure?! Is it easy to tell from looking at them? Don\'t know what a/f it is mapped to either?!
Yeah I understand the octane difference between here n japland. For normal use running 97ron, an hard driving will b 97 + millers cvl booster
in terms of the oil coolers, don\'t know what they are rated to? Would it say on them or will it take a bit more research?

I\'d do you some sort of swap for my FMIC set up with the RE elbow (with 2 extra injector holes) for your top mount if your interested. Go on M1tch I know you want to;)

PM me the specs of it and I will see, I am thinking of getting a flat mounted intercooler rather than a FMIC though, but try and temped me lol although the RE-A elbow isn\'t the best for flow and the FMIC needs to be rated to 650bhp
