i am almost done installing my fmic and i am having trouble fitting the pipes together. i ordered the greddy fmic with the 3 piece kit that comes with it. i am thiinking that i might have gotten some of the wrong pipes. does anyone have pictures of their engine compartment after the install? any help would be great thanks.

 

there was a thread with some guy talking about how he likes it tight, there are some pretty good pics there. Also NoCabs install pics are good

here u go....i hope that this helps...

well, never mind....i try to attach files that are not on the internet hosted somewhere, but i always get some stupid file too large ****....

sorry....

just make sure that you look over the pipes....they came with small stick on arrows with IC kit, and i imagine that yours should have done the same....but if they are not working, try to flip them around and what not...

i already had that l ink and it only has the greddy polished elbow and not the other 2 polished pieces that came in the kit i bought????

 

Did you buy the kit for the twin turbos or single turbo?

 

sorry about that i forgot to say for the stock twins. the kit came with the greddy polished elbow and 2 more polished pipes. and the intercooler came with 4 un-polished pipes??? which ones do i use? i am really confused

 

Are those the 3 polished pipes you are referring to?

If so, you only use the elbow, the other three are for stock mounted IC's. If you have different pipe then those, a pic might help.

 

that is the kit that i have, but what would be the point in buying the 3 piece kit rather then just the elbow??

 

There is no point unless you have a SMIC that actually goes into the stock location. If not, you just buy the elbow separately.

EDIT:

I just read my message above:

If so, you only use the elbow, the other three are for stock mounted IC's. If you have different pipe then those, a pic might help.

That should be "the other TWO are used for stock mounted IC's"....

 

my digital camera is broken right now...sorry. i just tryed fitting the pipes again and i got it to work without using the 3 piece kit but i can't even get it to work with the greddy elbow or the other 2 greddy pipes. i am still confused as to why the kit won't work with my intercooler.

 

Take a look at this link again:

http://flathat.woodstream.net/RX7/Docs/Greddy_FMIC.html

If you have that 3-Piece GReddy IC piping kit, 2 of those pieces are NOT used for FMIC installations. Only the elbow is used. Check out the description here of the 3-Piece piping kit:

http://66.216.67.51/product.asp?0=216&1=330&3=431

"Greddy 3pcs pipe kit is fully polished piping that replaces the stock rubber intercooler hose on the 93-95 RX-7. Will work with the stock intercooler system and the Greddy stock mount intercooler."

 

I know exactly what your talking about, the unpolished pipes are the ones you use, Whe I got mine they wouldnt fit right either, they had the little sticker airows showing which way air should flow and I paid close att. to that but decided I would try flipping them around, fit like a glove, I think the stickers on 3 out of 4 of the pipes were wrong... , as for the 3piece polish kit you bought along with it you basically blew the money there because as others have said those are for smic, you should have got 4unpolished pipes one intercooler and the elbow...

 

alright i pulled that link up again and my 4th pipe that goes to the greddy elbow is not as long as the one in the picture. on the other hand the 4th pipe that was sent to me is the perfect length for the stock elbow????
