I wish I had that money. I read about it. But I dont have that money.
About the hoses, I guess I am gonna block them off behind the uim that connect to the stock tmic. Hope it doesnt mess up anything. I believe I read about it in the Haynes Manual Book, that it was a bypass hose...

If you are worried, plumb them back into the IC piping. All they are is the Air Supply valve and the AWS. No real loss except when you turn the steering wheel the idle's gonna dip, and on cold starts it wont rev to 3000rpm for ~17 seconds.

So as long as both of them are connected to the intercooler, it wont drop the idle? Just curious. I probably wont run 2 long hoses to the fmic. Or can you just connect it to the fmic piping?

Where did I ever say "block off"?
FSM = Factory Service Manual.
The Factory Service Manual can be found in the FAQ For FC thread. It contains all this information and more, and is an essential tool for any sort of service work that needs to be performed on these cars.
Additionally, the Haynes service manual for the 1986 thru 1991 RX-7 (both turbo and NA) can be found at most local auto parts stores or purchased from any good bookstore (ISBN number 1 56392 007 7). It is only about $25 and is a great quick reference for things like this. Not only does it contain most of the information in the FSM condensed into an easy to read format, but it includes full wiring diagrams as well.
These manuals will answer 99% of service related questions for the car and if you intend to do your own repair work, you will need at least one of them. Preferably both, since the FSM is a free download.

TID = Turbo Inlet Duct.
These and other acronyms are covered in the FAQ.
I honestly don't know any other way to explain it. Look up where those lines go in the FSM or Haynes manual, and then install them in the same place once you've installed the FMIC. The BAC line goes to the TID, as does the ASV line. You'll need to look up what the line #1 in you diagram does as I can't remember.

Hey guys, well I have a FMIC with no piping. So I obviously have to put a kit together. I was wandering how you guys approached this, since there arent any intercooler kits out there for the FC. Actually, I think there is one. But anyway, I am trying to put one together now. How did you guys approach this? Where did you guys get your piping? Did anyone consider exhaust piping?
Greddy makes a FMIC.
Corksport makes a FMIC.
Also there is the old Trust FMIC.
Old RE Amemiya FMIC.
And I'm sure there's more. Anyhow, most people just buy an eBay FMIC kit and cut and peice it together for their desired results.
Or buy a bunch of u-bend.

i didn't want to create a new thread, SOOOO....
I'm finally ditching the stock TMIC and will be upgrading to the old school GReddy FMIC kit; similar to this one pictured.
I noticed that the BAC has a "tube" that plumbs into the charge pipe after the BOV...
"tube" under the BAC:
charge pipe with that hose that goes under the BAC:
I don't have a block off plate for the BAC either, and I was just wondering what's to come about when I install the FMIC kit. For you guys who still have the BAC and a FMIC, what did you do about "this"?
Also, as seen in the "BAC" picture I posted, you can see that I removed the ACV and put a block off plate there. The ACV unit had a nipple where the BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR vacuum line went. Now that I have the ACV blocked off, where do I place that vacuum line?
Any input would be greatly appreciated... thanks guys!

So you did away with the bumper support and brake ducts. When i did mine i didnt want to get rid of either for good reason. If you do hard braking or driving those ducts help cool the brakes. I personaly kept my intercooler and piping inside the frame rails. Required some good welding but its something i felt better doing than getting rid of a safety feature and performance feature. I used a Corksport core 24x6x3.5 and it fit perfect up in between the rails. Had to cut the ends off and make my own smooth bends coming out of it but worked good.
To the OP- I would just get a ebay piping kit and some good quailty couplers with t-bolt clamps. If stock turbo i would go with 2 1/4in for better spool over 2.5.
