finally installed my fmic
I finally gotten around to install my fmic. The piping is off a bit so I had to used extra long coupling on the engine side, just incase you guys are wondering why.

If you have a way of acurately measuring pressure drop and engine temps (not stock gauge), can you please update this thread.

That's sweet XS fmic. Look just like mine except my nose has a small gap opening on the right side only. Yours has gap opening on both sides. BTW, where did you get the connecting pipes. I call XS and looked everywhere, I used my stock Pettit rubber ic hoses and a couple straight pipes with some 45 deg. coupler to finish up. Let me know where I can get those pipes from. Thanks!

It looks awsome, But it looks like the fuse box did not want to fit right, or your'e you just not done yet? Is it a 2 or 3 row fmic? Also where did you get it from? I am running the same setup on mine and love the look of that fmic.

I was lazy to mask off some of my parts while primering. So you can see primer, especially on the battery.

Nice dude!!! Where did you get your couplers? I bought some from the rx7 store and they are a bit thin. BTW that one coupler attached to the elbow looks like it's being stretched to it's capacity.

I have the same fmic. Love it.
On a nice 60F degree night it's normal to see air temps below 20C.

Quick Question AppleBlue, I know you must have had issues with your greddy 2row with regard to your stock battery. I know that you had to replace it with a smaller one. My question is, which battery did you decide to go with and do you have any early morning, late afternoon starting issues?
