fmic problems

just installed my fmic and went to start up the car, now it seems to have a big leak somewhere? my intake is off and just filtered straight to the turbos for the time being, i have the greddy elbow, and a 12 x 24x 3 ic. anyone have any suggestions as to what it might be? both crv and abv are vented. air pump eliminated with pulleys.

There is quite a lot of piping with a FMIC kit. It would be tough for us to tell over the webbernet on what exactly is leaking. If you are using the stock y-pipe, that is a usual culprit as to what is leaking. Go over your entire pressure piping (y-pipe and fwd).

BTW, the CRV is really loud if you keep it vented.

sorry i posted this in the wrong one, i had two forums open...it shoud of been in this one not, fmic options

alright here is the verdict my rpms would bounce around and the fans would not turn on when the car was idling. Now when the headlights came on the RPMS went up to around 2000. whereas before it was 1000-1500 constant. and with the headlights turned on the radiator fans would run.

Now i found out the person who welded my brackets for the radiator, had gotten too close to the wires, and some are pretty crispy and bare. So now i need to figure out what wires are bare, and close to it, and fix and repair and see if this fixes my problem. Does anyone have a wiring diagram that goes to the spot by the headlights and radiator (the spot where the Ac condensor is) ?? i would really appreciate it.

thanks
Jake
