FMIC Install

[6oost3d]

Pics of my FMIC install. Followed the custom setup that some users posted. Thanks for the help guys! Def not a one night project, started last thursday night, ended last sunday night.
Noticed drops in boost air temps according to dashhawk. Also noticed a slight boost lag, but nonetheless, runs harder and holds boost well.

Setting up to cut crashbar

Mock up layout before mounting and clamping the couplers

looks AWESOME! and im loving the carbon fiber hood on white. good work

Nice... I was thinking about getting the CF hood but Im not sure since I also have the CF auto exe grille and CF autoexe front lip.. I was thinking it might be too much CF

 

[squire0311]

the only way it would be too much is if he had the fenders cf also.

 

[6oost3d]

Nah, the carbon fiber/ white combo looks sick. I was thinking about getting the cf spoiler too. Wherever I go I get compliments about the hood. Yea don't do cf fenders, its a little too much. I'm thinking the cf/white combo with gunmetal wheels will look flush

Is your license plate just supposed to make it difficult for cops to write down when theyre chasing you? just kidding .

FMIC install looks pretty good, which core did you go with? And did you cut the front bumper in any way? Nice post.

 

[6oost3d]

lol yea the plates were meant for that but they have cameras now that automatically read it for them and pull u up.

The core is from the CX racing kit that a lot of members used. look up Qwik6's build, its the same kit. I did have to cut a bit around the foglight housing but it wasn't too much. I cut two rows of the grill out too.

Do you need to relocate the windshield washer tank ?
And wich intercooler size have you choose ??

 

[6oost3d]

Yea, had to remove the resevoir. I forgot the size of the intercooler dimensions. Its listed on a post of the same install by Qwik6. If i find it later i'll post. I may take this set up off to try a new set up if anyones interested

 

[Win]

Did you relocate the reservoir to the driver side ? I may be interested in this setup

I'm not a big fan of cutting the crash bar but man that looks really nice and clean.
