Hey guys! Just bought a FMIC and I wanted to see how your guys' Is setup. Post pics of your car with it FMIC, lets see some nice cars!

 

sorry for the out of focus engine bay, didn't realise the wife turned off auto focus.

 

Did you delete your AC and Air pump? And did you relocate your battery to fit the intercooler piping?

 

But I like the setup, the black on blue looks amazing

 

Cheers.car came with operated deleted and when I put the motor in I deleted the a/c too.and battery was just plonked in the back so I put it in a battery box in the left rear seat well when I removed the seat.the washer bottle would also be in the way so I relocated the rear bottle to infront of the rad next to the overflow and wired it to a new switch.I never had the battery,AC or powersteer pump up front so couldn't say if they were in the way but I don't think PS and AC would be.

That's how it was. I found out that putting a fmic in front of a stock radiator makes it overheat. I bought a radiator... it didn't fit... so I made it fit:

 

What kind of rad are you running now that it wouldn't fit?

 

It was a Godspeed radiator, but apparently there are good ones and bad ones. I think the Godspeed company sublets their work out to random places. This random place that did mine ended up welding the heater nipple on the lower pipe in such a position that it would hit the sway bar when properly mounted. It's still a good radiator though. I haven't had an issue with it at all, and it cools really well.

 

Oookay, is the intercooler also a Godspeed?

 

...

 

Yes. Decent quality, but the radiator was probably built by a disgruntled 9 year old in China.

 

Probably was ahahahaha

 

Are you guys all running aftermarket rads with your FMIC? I was thinking of going with a koyo or corksport rad with a rad panel to increase flow to the rad

 

I also painted my IC pipes black, couldn't stand having such a metallic look in an old engine bay. Compared to the old engine, it stood out too much, maybe when I rebuild my engine I'll sand off the paint and have the everything in their looking nice!

 

Only half decent pic I got,sorry.
the Manifold is Ford Blue along with pipes on the blow off valve.

 

Nah standard rad.gets up to 90ISH on motorway up hill but round town it stays mid 80s. Once I put on the helper belt for the water pump that is

I used an old hks core, not sure what it was from origionally, and then I used a universal ebay intercooler piping kit

goals, no custom welding piping, keep power steering, keep battery, no custom oil cooler lines, minimal cutting of the chassis, I ended up only cutting 1 hole on the turbo side, the driver side pipes actually fit where the oil lines normally went.

to make it work I did end up having to move the oil cooler a few inches, and make custom brackets for it but I was able to use the racing beat lines still. also I needed to trim the driverside radiator bracket

then I did cut one of the outlet pipes off the IC and spin it around a bit






air filter I cut a hole in the chassis and routed it down to the brake cooling duct

 

Man, i love the pink and purple, that looks sick!

 

Graperoo and Bazooka Joe had a Baby!

 

This is the latest from CXRacing/RotaryWorks... the install was surprisingly easy compared to the other crappy stuff I've had to return from them.

 

What would you guys recommend for blow of valves?

 

I have an ARC bov if you're interested... pm me!

 

i see this turning into your "Im going to ask every question that has been covered a million times" thread...

 

Meh hahaha mainly wanted to see what everyone else has for setups, plus nothing looks better then a nice front mount

 

hows your cooling system? you put a big IC in front of the radiator you are more than likely going to have cooling issues. but a quick search will answer all the questions that you are going to have in the near future
