Whose car is that? Those pics make it harder to wait for my GReddy to get here. But I didn't know the part from the throttle body adaptor goes to some plastic piece. Or is that custom? I do like that at least it says GReddy on the TB adaptor. Nice to see a brand name with that big price tag

it was custom. if you have P/S it won't fit when it comes... you need to mod it a bit to fit. others have cut / rewelded the pipes. he just used a rubber piece instead.

the reason is it hits the brake booster. which is on the other side in japan... apearly it'll still fit if you don't have P/S.

 

Hmm, dale told me it fits but you have to move the coils and something else. Hell I might just get rid of the p/s to save weight if its not too huge of a task.

 

Hey icemark just checked out your website is your turbo stock?? 230rwhp on 7psi Damn i need a FMIC badly

 

Here is the spearco I put in my car, works rather well...


No cutting required of front bumper etc etc


Bumper support reinstalled


Front end reinstalled


Core is spearco 2-178.. piping is all 2.5" stainless..Max

Actually not my site, although I have almost the same intercooler set up and year.

My car is red though, but I saw Matt's and did my FMIC following his setup.

 

Heres a couple.

 

Nice pics 1FastT2 my car is red too but has the stock wheels how much did that fmic cost

 

can u post a pic w/the engine in so I can see how you fabbed the pipes to the TB and turbo?

 

 

If someone can give me a link or directions on how to post pictures (instead of the little file download button) then id be happy to put some up of my FMIC.

OK, i tried to post, but it says pics are too big. WTF? They are 640x480 size and are about 350kb big. What am i doing wrong here?

Graham

 

100Kb is the biggest you can upload to this site.

If they are bigger than that, you need to have them hosted and then you can link to them.

 

OK that makes sense, thank you. I dont have a sit, but my friend does. Ill just have him host the pics for me. Thanks for the info.

Graham

 

if their 640x480 and 350k then they are probable .bmp
convert them to .jpg and they will be about 20k

 

Just a note of mine. I don't have PS but there was still some modification to the pipe needed. I found that by cutting .5"-1" off the side by the TB, and re-welding it to the other end, the pipe fits perfectly. No messy welds in the middle, the re-weld is covered by the connector. I'll try to post pics when I get home of my setup. Oh I also have the GReddy VSPL kit.
