around how long do you think it would take a professional to install a FMIC that requires bumper cutting and 2 secondary fuel injectors and a secondary fuel rail?

 

 

i know its a weird question but i need a answer

 

I would say a pro could do it in under 10 hours.

4-6 hours for the intercooler.
3-5 hours for the fuel setup.


I think it would take any one of us about 2 days.

secondaries are fairly easy. Only took me around an hour. I would say the primaries are what would take 3-5hrs. FMIC, I have no clue, but I wouldn't imagine it taking over a day.

 

why dont you just call a local car shop and ask what there rates are per hour and how long to install an fmic.

 

thats perfect!
thanks alot

 

You do realize that the installation of 1600cc injectors will require removal of all emissions equipment? Hope you have a smog hook-up.

You will also need a larger fuel pump, inline resistors, and tuning on your PFC.

 

I can do the fuel system in about 2 hours and a fmic in about 4. I build rotary cars for a living though.. When you say pro im guessing like a speed shop..

 

took me two days to do the FMIC.. but then again it was my first time.

 

damn, 4 hrs for an intercooler? I think I had mine done in 2 hrs WITH custom making my 20B TB elbow.

If memory serves me correctly, I did my ENTIRE fuel system(dual walboro's, all steel braided line, -6 AN, FPR, taping primary rail...) in about 5 hrs. When I went to my Cosmo setup, I made the rail in less than an hour. The rail MOUNT is what took me 2 days to make...couldn't get the right angle on it.

 

A pro with Fd experience could probrably do it in half the time a pro with out could.

 

lol im saying about 2 hours

 

Sounds about right..

Some of us spend too much time fixing these damn things though!! lol

 

Is that a fact? wtf have you built??

 

actully im getting 1300cc injectors so its going to be a little more forgiving

 

Not on the emissions it won't. Everything I have read about bigger secondary injectors requires removing the EGR, because there isn't room of the bigger rail.

 

Do you mean the ACV? I thought the EGR was on the otherside?

 

Incorrect. Bored-out side-feed injectors (up to 1300cc) fit right into the stock secondary rail. Emissions are not affected (other than tuning for the larger injectors).

Moving up to the Bosch top-feed 1600cc injectors requires an aftermarket secondary fuel rail, which requires removal of the ACV (not the EGR).

 

but the motor will be, once they fail





sorry had too.....

 

Sad to say, but I think my Karma rubbed off on you(the bad stuff though :P ) Remember how I kept bitching about having to rebuild engine's over and over?

I think I'm going to break the 6 month mark with flying colors!

 

It's all good! Haha! At least the bad luck will make me better at rebuilding these things. That's a big money saver if you break them all the time!

 

yeah it depends
I installed an apexi fmic and made all my own mounting brackets in about 4 hours. If so if I was doing my 4th one or actually had good tools id say about 2 hours to get that in.
