FMIC Installed

ray_sir_6 · 05-20-2007, 06:32 PM

It only took 2 days to do, and alot of fab work by Brice @ Alamo. We mocked up the passenger side Saturday, then put back the stock stuff so I could drive home. Then went out there today (Sunday) and mocked up the driver's side and then installed it. It uses 2" on the DS and 2.5" on the PS.

The PS is probably pretty typical of most FMIC installs. It just goes up between the radiator and the pulleys, straight to the throttle body. No BOV right now due to the supplied bung being steel, not aluminum. Should get that installed soon.

The DS took alot more time and fab work. We clocked the turbo, then went down thru the gap in the sub-frame and between the suspension control-arms to the IC.

Yeah, due to the limited space and the tight radius there wasn't any other way. We put a silicone hose before it went thru the subframe to allow for removal.
