A newbie idiot trying to install a Greddy FMIC

Please help me. I have a 1987 Turbo II and I am installing a Greddy FMIC and the Greddy 20g turbo kit. My instructions are in japanese and Greddy's website only helps so much. My car is already half way ripped apart and I'm asking for anyone who has the Greddy FMIC and/or 20g set up ...can you please send or post pictures?

Thank you!!!

Most people don't run the 20g kit so it'll be tough finding help with that. Basically just unbolt old turbo/manifold and install the new GReddy manifold, turbo, lines, etc... its really quite basic.

The turbo kit is basic, yes. I just want to make sure the FMIC is setup correctly, a picture of that would be awesome.

From the looks of it he isn't running one anymore. FC's are actually very nice to drive without power steering since they're a light car.

I had to get custom piping made to route it under the power steering pump.





Note that this is with a T04S and HKS turbo manifold. The car used to be on the stock turbo with no P/S, then after some cutting it had I think a 60 piece(don't remember for sure) with two couplers to route it under the P/S pump after the P/S was reinstalled. Finally I took it to a shop and had them weld it into one piece.

I beleive there are a few people running the fmic with the ps, ac,and they factory batt. Mine has no ps , ac, and I went with a smaller battery because the piping was rubbing my battery.

Just take your time if youve never done stuff like this.
