FD Greddy FMIC on an FC?

I got a killer deal on the Greddy M-Spec FMIC for the FD and was wondering if I can just use it as a core and fit it on my FC?
Anyone done this or have any input?

Anything can be done depends on your fabrication skills

It will be more trouble than it's worth. The inlet and outlets on the GReddy FD kit turn upwards,and there isn't any room in the front of the FC to run piping like that. Hell, you have to cut holes in the car to fit the GReddy FC kit, and even that doesn't fit all that well.

The inlet/outlet are turned toward the engine.



I have no idea how good it could fit but like the someone else said anything is possible. Take a look at your FC and see if it's worth the deal. Don't forget piping can become expensive and takes some skills to make so if you don't really need a FMIC it might not be worth the effort.

From the pic I see they do but I never saw the real deal. Am I missing something?
