[NeedCAforS13]

i ran a lawn tractor on my s12. it started up a vg30, i can't see why it would have trouble with a CA18. lol

[Rin5]

i mustve used a crappy one...or an old one...idk...lol i was trying to figure out what to use as well till i decided for a reloc.

[sjbsuperman1425]

i think i'll try out the Civic Battery, them things are pretty small as well. i dont have the money for a new battery, how weird that seems lol

[Rin5]

after looking through my pictures i realized that i have a big space in my batt area...it just wont fit my optima

well guys, just got my CX Racing S14 FMIC Kit this morning, and i must say, it looks awesome! lol i was more excited than flies on **** when i seen the Fedex Truck pull up..ANYWAY lol

it looks really good and looks like it will fit just with a few different couplers. i was wondering where Rin5 got that pice to go to the throttle body? But it looks very decent and im excited to try it out..but i still have to drop in my motor lol i'll update later

Rin5, a little help on that throttle body piece? lol

wasn't packaged like that BTW lol

[Rin5]

the rubber piece?? thats stock..i just cut and fit it...

your kit looks nice...drop it in!

Does this kit look like it would fit the ca?? almost looks like the ssautochrome. It's a s14/S15 kit

[sjbsuperman1425]

that is the EXACT same one that i bought. I'd recommend buying it off eBay from seller "Just-Intercoolers". 1 year warranty and is $199 shipped. look at my previous post

[drifting circles]

trying to find them rightnow

Finally got the IC installed. Piping is Autobahn88 and core is GReddy LS-Spec.



Notes:-Fitment is excellent, typical cutting of the battery tray is required but other than that everything lines right up. Would be even better if the piping were used with the core for which it was intended.-All necessary couplers and clamps are provided and seem to be good quality. The black hose you see off the turbo outlet is a stocker because it runs so close to the manifold.-The nipple for the cold-start bypass valve is a little big but the stock hose will fit.-There is a flange for a BOV you can see on the right side. Buying a BOV that would work with that particular mounting method would be the easiest. Either that or get it plugged and weld your own flange on or just plug it and learn to love compressor surge.

I payed $235 CAD for the piping, money well spent in my opinion.

[Rin5]

i dont know what that CAD converts to but the words FMIC, Greddy, and <$250 always sounds good...

Autobahn88 pipes...how much? i wanna replace my stockies...

[roplusbee]

Did you order your piping thru Autobaun88 directly or did you get it thru another company? I went to http://www.autobahn88.com, but there was no order form or anything. Thanks

If you look in the Distributor section on http://www.autobahn88.com and scroll to the North America section you'll see JNS Imports in Lethbridge, Canada. He's the only NA dealer that I know of hahaha.

there was nothing there cept car import sales...

[roplusbee]

I sent them a message. Hopefully they actually respond. They have some links to FMIC kits, but I really only need the piping. I guess an extra FMIC won't hurt, but it will rolly just collect dust, lol.

[Rin5]

you can send me the IC and ill use it as a GIANT radiator for my computer water cooling project?

i just need the piping as well so hit me up if they reply?

[roplusbee]

ROFL. I will let you know as soon as I hear from them. That would be one hell of a PC cooler. You could clock up at least 100% with that.............

[Buddyworm]

Or you could order just the piping like I did :P

[roplusbee]

How did you do it?

[sjbsuperman1425]

alright guys, i was in the garage today test fitting all the little nipples on the Cold Pipe so i knew where all of them went and wasn't OVERWELMED when i get the engine in, but i ran into a couple problems. There are THREE nipples on the Cold Pipe i have ( Kit was for S14). The small one i know where it goes. the medium sized one, i think connects to a line that is right underneat the Intake Manifold, above the upper rad hose? but it doesn't fit on the nipple on the cold pipe? i might just go buy a hose adapter if nothing else .

and the LARGEST of the three is the size of a radiator hose and i have NO IDEA where it goes. Im thinking of plugging it but idk how i would go about that..but if anybody knows what its for, please share with me?

[float_6969]

It's for the recirculation valve. The CA doesn't have one stock, so you can either plug it, or if you have a BOV, that's where you'd moutn it.
