I never post pics of my crap so here goes. Im almost done installing my Apexi FMIC figure I throw up some pics.

 

I like the metal shroud but I think the painted logo is on the wrong side. How many hours you put in to it so far?

yeah the logo came on that side I dont know why. Not long I have to fabricate all the brackets for things so thats not helping. Id say 3 hours to this point.
Its going real quick though the next part of getting the radiator in is gonna be fun

 

what the hell is that metal ducting? was that supposed to come with it or did you make that....mine doesn't have that. i like it. Good luck if you are trying to still keep the AC. Wow was that a pain in the *** to fit back in there with this IC and the radiator. I used a metal bracket that attaches to the top of it and bends around the front of the frame as one of my mounts. Worked really well and the IC is now on of the most sturdy things in the bay.

 

looks like you have that bracket on there...my fault
NO AC too...maybe I should ahve paid more attention to the pics

 

Thats the same IC i have but i have their Isamu single turbo as well (neither are installed in the car yet), do you have the turbo as well?? Id love to know how everything fits before i put everything in.

 

This is the best pic.... BOOYAAA

 

Looks nice so far man, front mounts own.

 

did you fab those ducts on each side of the ic or did it come w/ them? that looks really good.

 

Not in AZ heat... or road racing for that matter.

Install is looking good. Clean up the engine bay while stuff is out.

 

funny im doin the exact same mod rite on my FD

have fun!!!

Thats whats the ducting for chief
Engine bay is pretty clean its just the lighting is making it look grimey

 

I bought that duct from fritzflynn, it would cost about 30 bucks to make with a dremel and a drill.

No AC in there anything I didnt need came out.

Also once I get a front lip Im gonna cut that up to flow air up into the duct

 

what kind of radiator are you using obvious??

 

stock

 

You got a ticking time bomb on your hands, the stock radiators don't work well stock, it won't work behind that IC.

 

I've got the same intercooler. I would most definitely recommend upgrading the stock radiator and do the fan mod. That intercooler blocks alot of airflow to the radiator even at highway speeds. The intercooler is very thick.

 

friend runs this exact setup with a greddy FMIC which is a 2 row but much larger surface area...
his car NEVER EVER EVER over heats....you cant see the rest cause I dont have a front lip yet.. but with the tray underneath and I will modify the lip to flow air in to the radiator...

Your actually not able to see the underside of the tray. it has a flap that will scoop up air up and run it under the intercooler..

 

haha yeah I know, all my friends with 7's here all have V-mounts, so I was hoping they'd see my post in here......
