I am looking to do a FMIC setup. I recently got a HKS BOV and I am trying to find some input for what I should do about the piping. I know the stickies say to run a S14 Hotpipe and either Coldpipe will work. I am wanting to have the cleanest look possible. I dont want to have a bunch of different pipes connected with a bunch of different couplers. Any input to what you guys run? I have checked out http://www.pipingpro.com. They seem to have a pretty nice set up. I can order a s14 hotpipe with the flange.I would like some pictures of different setups if you can.

Thank you

mines ghetto ridged as funk. it works..... thats good enough for me.

best thing I can recommend is start with a core and then move on to picking out piping. welded VS coupled is cleaner, but makes for working in the engine bay more difficult(as one large piece is harder to move).

also need to remember that if you upgrade the turbo and or mani that it may require more modifications to your lay out than stock.

I haven't had a FMIC in ages, but IIRC, if you just get an S14 SR kit, plan on cutting a couple of pipes, then you should be good.

I dont see it on the site any more but email hiprollc.com They used to have up a CA intercooler setup. I emailed them about a month ago and they told me just the piping was 200$ and free shipping.

I've heard it doesn't fit right, but that was a while ago, they may have fixed it.
