after removing the battery/tray, entire a/c system, stock intake, & intercooler today, i was wondering how i am going to run piping to a FMIC.
the radiator takes up much of the room, i'm basically wondering how i'm going to run 2.5" piping past it.

so can anyone with a FMIC, (either with a complete FMIC kit, or custom piping) tell me how the piping is run past or around the radiator? if you have pics even better

thanks

all FMIC move the raditor back by tilting it almost straigh up so the pipping for the FMIC can go around it. There are other ways but it required some cutting of the front frame.

oh ok, just do that and trim the radiator hose a bit then.

thanks for the quick responce

And to save you the headace, jsut buy a kit that comes with everything, unless you liek headaces of buying expensive custom pipes to fit ebay intercoolers (or whatever your planning)

It will be cheaper to get everything all together, and you can bolt it directly on in your driveway with perfect fit.

cutting pipe and using couplers to fit it all together isn't hard at all.
its alot cheaper than paying $1,300 for an HKS kit too

YOu have to have the tubing bent, its expensive. Unless you want to weld and hack them together...

Check out a greddy 2 row form rx7store, $899.

Thos custom shaped coulpers are like over $100 a piece too..you migght need about 4-5 of them

heres mine bro, I did it all myself ezy peezy.
just used 90 and 45 degree bends with a custom front mount IC and couplers.
I had to run my plumbing over the top of the Radiator and just dropped my radiator by fabricating some extension brackets onto the existing bottom radiator brackets.
good luck!

I ran my charge pipe alog the top of the frame rail on the pass side of the radiator. Works just fine.

Mine passes over the radiator on one side, and along side it on the other. 2 different angles here:
