people with a fmic, hook me up with pics!

[fallen180sx]

im probably about to have to fab up my own piping for a fmic.. with a t28 bb turbo.. so.. im tryin to get an idea of whats going to be needed. thanks.

[rexhunta]

I used 3 90 degree bends to make my intake side.. i did it in 3 inch on the intake side, and the exhaust side is still 2 inch stock piping.. easy done.

[rexhunta]

no front bar on..

Rex,

Do you have any overhead shots of the IC clearing the bumper support? I like how that looks, how hard was it to secure the IC there?

thanks,

Hey, arh, it didn't really clear that bumper support lol, i had to cut it out a bit, but to the untrained eye you wouldnt pick it.. did it nice and neat

Holding the cooler up is 2 bits of 20mm angline.. like the l shaped metal.. i've hit curbs and all sortsa ****, and that cooler diffintely ain't moving at all..

Thats the only other photo i have right now of how it sits in the front bar.. i'll try to get you some different ones during the week.

sweet, does anyone know the dimensions and stuff for the piping?

we didn't work off any dimensions, jut bought some bends and cut them too size on the fly.. it was pretty easy.. just cut a whole through the battery tray and done.. simple.

[fallen180sx]

sweet thanks tms! and rexhunta.. where did you get your piping from? did you weld that? im thinkin about makin a trip to lowes.. and just buy piping. cut it, get some bends.. and some couplings.. and wala. i have a funny feeling its going to look really ghetto...

[themadscientist]

try to get some thinwall stuff, a fencepost pipe setup would weigh a ton!

[rexhunta]

i went to the exhaust shop and Got mandrel bends ( not the ones done on the pipe bender). few hours on a saturday arvo and all done. wasn't really that hard. just used the handy mig and all done !

Pete

[fallen180sx]

haha, well.. i dont think theres any shops around here with a 500,000$ mandrel bender. ill go to my local exhaust shop and see if they can help in anyway. what did they charge you for it? haha, MAYBE you could get them to make twins and sell me those.

[tyrannix]

angline? is that the flexible metal stuff with holes in it that comes in a roll?

No, you're thinking of safety wire.

[rexhunta]

It's like L shaped metal.. has a vertical and horizontal sides.

The exhuast shop i went to orders in bends and keeps them in stock, from 1 inch all the way upto 5 inch for trucks and things.. i just bought 3 bends, went into the shed, and hacked them up. i think they were like $aus30 each.

[fallen180sx]

oh.. i just have a feeling mines going to consist of like.. 15 couplings. ill see what i can come up with.

[themadscientist]

every connection is a potential leak, keep them to a minimum.

[rexhunta]

oh.. i just have a feeling mines going to consist of like.. 15 couplings. ill see what i can come up with.

Mine had 1 at the cooler, 1 where it comes thorough the battery tray, and 1 at the intake... the other side has 4 or 5, but its dodgily done for now.

[fallen180sx]

hehe, you got any leaks?

[rexhunta]

hehe, you got any leaks?

none, my vaccum registers around -20.. on boost measures 12 psi ( no boost controller, for some reason my boost has decided to sit here after dump pipe and exhaust work.. )

i check ed it using light mix of water and detergent, to see if it bubbles.. no hassles at all..

I think he meant angle-iron.
