hope they keep this kit available.. i mean throw in a s14 cold pipe with the s13 intercooler kit, and u can reach more customers.. smart idea to me...

Guys......please realize there are probably countless CA guys out there that arent on NICO....just something to ponder when wondering why you were sniped or when asking people on here not to bid.

So have we even figured out if this kit actually comes with the S14 cold pipe yet?

Ok, I got the kit today. Overall impressions, are that it is very well put together. The weld on the IC endtanks and on the piping is very solid. The cold pipe will NOT line up. It is the same as the S13 SR coldpipe. But, you can probably cut it and reweld it and it will fit fine. That, or cut it and use the stock rubber throttle body hose to attach it. Way I look at it, is that it's a VERY minor issue considering the price. The rest of the kit more than makes up for it.... Here is a pic... along with the other goodies I received today

Heh, I won't tell what I paid for it

If you don't mind, contact SS and tell them it doesn't fit, even if you are happy with it. Maybe eventually they will redesign it so that it does so those of us without TIG welders (or motivation) can enjoy the kit as well.

so the cold pipe doesn't fit but does the hot pipe fit?

Post by **slideways** » Tue Jul 19, 2005 2:32 pm

im shure if u use the oem rubber coldpipe for temp, do gown to the muffler shop and have that piece coppied then problem solved. then email ssauto and send them the pic of your fab'ed piece and maybe they can do something about thise fmic kits.

Anyone in here in or near Raleigh NC? The guy I know who does work for SSA is willing to create a prototype CA18 cold pipe if there is a local (Raleigh) CA guy who can spare an afternoon for him to look at your engine as it sits in your S13. The only thing is, for him to make an accurate prototype you need to already have a FMIC installed (any brand, but not the volvo-style FMIC setup).

Let me know and I'll give you his contact information through a PM.

thanks,

that sounds like a good idea, BUT why did they post up for the auction that is is a ca18det FMIC kit and that it wasnt like all the other sr kits. it was made for CA18det? lol i think they should have already had this figured out seeing that they hav their own base car to build prototype parts. anyhow let me know how this goes because i live in Cali

Hey C-Rad, I'm getting those two things as well PLUS the cat back you recommended from them as well ... I cant wait! I bought the intercooler kit from them instead of ebay, i just emailed them and payed via paypal, im just waiting for it to arrive. BTW: how much DID you pay for it? =)

Oh yeah...whats the diameter of the hole in the intercooler? 3 in.?

Post by **anumeric** » Wed Jul 20, 2005 10:28 am

i just bid on a kit as well. please bid on the others coming up thanks. btw what ever happened to that ebay id sticky? my id is volcomsnow just to let everyone know.

hey so does everything line up but the coldpipe.. because if it does ill just order this kit. use the stock coldpipe and have one made at a shop around here and then ill order myself a nice greddy s13 hotpipe and super sequential bov

Post by **slideways** » Wed Jul 20, 2005 1:36 pm

i wonder if the greddy cold pipe for s13 would work.. or any s14 cold pipe for FMIC that is...... anyone have a resource to test this out anytime soon to let us know how it goes, hopefully ill have my kit by end of next week so ill try and see whats up with a custom fitment pipe. like s14 or muffler shop for some sort of TESTER..

no s13 coldpipes line up with any fmic kit.. the throttle body is angled different in the ca than it is for the sr. however the s14 for some reason is angled the same as the ca18...

Post by **slideways** » Wed Jul 20, 2005 3:49 pm

lol TYPO, i meant to say s14 cold pipe as i was explining more about s14 pipes. sorry for the tupo but thats what i mean. i wondered if for example the greddy cold pipe for s14 would work? with the xs power fmic

anyhow someone needs to post pics or can someone find pics of one of these already isntalled. im woring howmuch i am gonna need to trim my bumper suppor tot ge thtis to work..... aghh i hate saw zaw's

don't hate on the snipers, they just Ebay better than you. Use a bid sniper, takes lots less drama out of ebay, and you get to decide how much you really want to pay hours before hand instead of when your adrenaline starts going and you realize you just paid $87 for an oil filler cap.

I dunno but he's offering to help SSA get it corrected. He mentioned the kit had already been selling in the UK ......maybe the guys there all buy the kits and mod the coldpipe like guys in here are planning....for the price you cant go wrong...but.....I'm too lazy to learn to weld aluminum so I can fix the end peice so I'm hoping we get some takers so a correct peice gets made for the cold pipe.
