How To: Ebay FMIC

[jdmdikk]

I just made a offer on two 10 inch slim fans. Hopefully ,I can use both. If not,I owe a buddy one anyways lol. Made a offer of $33 shipped.

if you're pulling both fans then yes you can. The radiator is 22" wide, so there is room to run 2 10" diameter fans.

Mine should be arriving today. Cant wait to finally be able to drive the car!

I need to do some fine tuning on the BOV. Gotta find the sweet spot so theres no air leaking at idle and no compressor surge at low boost.

Your bov is adjustable? Mines is a hks and fortunately its not. Yea I want to eliminate both fans since I hate the over hang of the ac fan since I had to remove my smic.I am happy that I found the cause of my loss of boost. I need that 90 degree coupler bad and fast lol.do u think I can use a 90 degree coupler even tho my core is sitting lower then yours (hot side)?

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

yeah, its a greddy type RS knock off lol

I would assume you could, cant hurt to try it out. Hopefully you dont need to re route. Could always flip over your IC?

If I flip it over it will just make things more complicated. It's already mounting with the inlet/outlet on top. So if I flip the core,it will make my inlet/outlet sit lower. I think I will try it out your way and see if I can make it work. I want my hot side done for good and that I don't have to worry about it anymore. It's funny cuz I get the turkey sound when I didn't have a boost leak n now that it has a leak and only 4psi I don't get the turkey sound.

I love my hotside roouting. It's touching nothing and i can grab it and shake it and it doesnt move. Cant beat it. Just hope I dont blow a coupler hahahaha

You didn't have problems with the 90 coupler at the IM touch the Master Cylinder?

 

[95blkprobe]

I have a 90 on my tb and its not even close, but I do have a 626 mani

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

Nope, I'll look again though.

 

[HKPRO5]

I plan on re routing my cold piping and intake piping to run a cold air box.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

All done!!!!!! Finally. Runs perfect and drives great. Turbo spools fast and the cold pipe is cool to the touch after a drive. Given that its hotter than a bum's nut sack outside you cant beat it.

Slim fans installed:

Final product:

Rawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwr!

Great job. Very, very nice.

 

[HKPRO5]

Could you get an Image of coupler going into the intake manifold? =)

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I can, and I checked...its no where near the MC.... Please hold.

Great Job evilmonkey.in my opinion ,u have by far one of the cleanest DIY eBay Install. Looks even better then mines lol. Atleast I know that the 2 10" slim fans will work perfectly fine. Once again ,great job bro.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

Appreciate it I guess taking a damn month to finish it paid off haha.

All you other slim fan guys, is your AC still blowing ice cold? I'm wondering if we might benefit with a 3rd "push" fan mounted to the front of the AC core.

 

[HKPRO5]

Nah that would just block the air going in. Lol

Thanks evil for the pics. Good thing I went on Amazon and picked up a mishimoto coupler. s**** cheap there.
