jevansio Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Thanks Paul, just got the top to do now & fit a holder to the bottom (will post pics when done), I fitted the 2nd half from scratch in about an hour/hour & half using these instructions.

SupraD06 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Due to the fact my new bumper almost rests on the FMIC will i still need to try and seal it some how or is the bumper kind of boxing it in anyway???????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 If there's a way around I guess the air will try & flow round. I've had great results, with my ducted GT4088R I am seeing 15 deg cooler WOT temps than a unducted SP74! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 ...... following on from before as I can have more than 20 images per post. This is a shot of underneath now the ducting is on, you can see how the tabs need fixing to the FMIC to stop air leaking underneath. To do this I chose an L shaped braket that will run the width of the FMIC that will bolt to the 2 fixing holes and pin the tabs to the IC. Here it is cut to size (600mm long). Drill 2 holes to match the IC mounting holes & bolt it up. I didn't have short enough bolts which is why I had to use another nut on each bolt, will change this when I get some. The top is much easier. Again made in 2 halfs, here is one cut with a single bend. Just fit them either side on the top, they should meet the bottom ones half way down the side of the IC. Then use the other L shaped bracket to secure the top in the same way you did them bottom. That's it complete. FWIW, I was seeing a cool 32 deg on sustained 4th & 5th gear WOT runs, an unducted setup on the same XS Power FMIC was seeing 47 deg. Hope this is of help to someone.
