DamanC Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Looks great mate Still havent fitted mine yet As i havent much of a clue how too. Any more snaps? How long did it take you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mas Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 sorry didnt get there early enough to take more pics, with cutting some bits of the front bumper and cutting some of my stock airbox etc took 7 hours but if you have stock bumper and after market induction will take much less than that, but as I said its a great fit considering I havent got a stock front.

Glosphil Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I've got stock bumber and aftermarket air filter. Will I still have to remove the active spoiler to fit this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mas Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 I think so mate, as dont remember any one with active spoiler and the fmic THB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Cool, I fitted mine the other day too. Great kit with everything you need to do it. Only encountered 2 minor problems, firstly the pipe that runs over the air filter fouls on the standard airbox and wont allow to connect so I used a hot air gun to heat up the corner of the airbox to soften the plastic and remould it a little. The other problem was that it's quite a tight fit with the aircon pipes where the piping exits the intercooler and 'U' bends back around into the engine bay, but I guessing this is the same for any of the kits. Great kit, thanks again Nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I've got stock bumber and aftermarket air filter. Will I still have to remove the active spoiler to fit this? Phil, you'll need to remove the active spoiler for any FMIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Does anyone have a pic of the kit before fitting they could post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mk47 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Mas looks great. Was there any modification required to the actual pipework with the FMIC or were they all perfect size/shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Looks great Mas thanks for posting the pics, sorry I missed this thread before somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mas Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 Thanks guys, Maz mate no modification and all perfect fit apart from if you have a stock airbox then as mentioned above you need to dut the corner of it to let the pipe fit ok, I cut some of it and then moulded the same shape with fibre glass and then painted the box all colour coded blue to match my engine bits Thanks Nic once again and as said sorry didn't get early enough to Mark when was fitting it otherwise would have some more pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glosphil Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Phil, you'll need to remove the active spoiler for any FMIC. But I want to keep it... sob sob lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Would this uphold on say a PHR Stage 1(GT60) running 1.6 bar? Want a small fmic to reduce lag...got a toyo one just now, does the job but woud like a new greddy one when I go single in 5months...its either this or the 3 core...any suggestions?

wez_p Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 it does look like a very good fit. did it bolt straight on to some existing holes somewhere too with brackets that came with it? doesn't look like it needed anything for moving the PAS pipe or the expansion tank either?

Cable Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 The intercooler bolted onto existing holes using brackets supplied. The kit also come with a new expansion tank for relocation next to the battery (with all the bits required) and the existing PAS cooling pipe is removed, replaced with a unit that now sits in the left side of the bumper (shown in the pics).

Homer Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 But I want to keep it... sob sob lol You can still keep it, but it has to be in the down position all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 well you can do it yourself its piss easy to do, go on the greddy website and download the english version instruction manuals thats what i did, looking at the jap manuals it looks complicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Instructions aswell mate tho you have to go by the pics and numbers as it written in Japanese. Nothing too taxing while fitting just time consuming. I had the added job of fitting a new PAS pump at the same time as it made sense doing this while I was relocating the PAS cooler.
