Since they are not many intercooler kits for silvia's with CA18's what kit do I need to get for a FMIC. If I remember correctly I just need a S14 FMIC kit right?

Yeah, S14. But I'm pretty sure you're gonna have to cut and rotate one of the bends on the lower hotpipe to go upwards through your SMIC hole instead of through the frame rail.

It comes with the lower portion of the hotside piping. GReddy designed the kit for JDM S14s which have the hot piping routed beside the engine, down and then sideways through the frame rail. Otherwise yes, the coldpipe will line up with the throttle body.

i have the s13 SR greddy LS kit on my car. all you have to do with the cold pipe is cut and rotate the end so it lines up to the TB.

Have any pictures of that? They'd run a premium before racewars.

Ok, I lied a little.. I had a couple pipes from my old XS kit and cut and used them with the greddy kit. I also bought the greddy hotpipe as well. I still have the greddy cold pipe sitting in my room.. I have an sr20 t25 and you MUST use the sr20 compressor outlet elbow for the hotpipe to line up right. otherwise it works/fits very well.
