I just bought one. I think I have it pieced together, but some installed (or even better, installation) pics would be great.

 

haven't heard of this fmic. do you have a link or any more info?

 

I'm sure the pipe with the bov flange comes off the crossover pipe. I think the long pipe with the 90° bend goes to the intercooler "hot" side, then the longer tube with the wide bend comes off the cool side, and the last remaining pipe goes to the throttle body elbow. But, I'd like to be certain before I start the project. Also mounting points, etc.

 

Wow, that's lookin' rough, but you can fix it up.

I would get beads rolled at the end of all the pipes so you don't have the couplers constantly popping off. Also, send the pipes off to be powdercoated and they'll look great.

If you can figure out a contact number for South Florida Performance, I'd call them and see if they can fax or e-mail you some instructions.

Mind you, even with instructions you'll be in for DAYS of work. The nicer front mount kits are a pain in the *** to install, and that kit looks like it will REALLY be a challenge. You'll have to relocated the radiator and AC condensor, as well as the battery, and with none of the brackets (which may not have come with it anyhow) you'll be doing a lot of fab work to make brackets to relocate everything.

Hope you got a hella deal on it because you're in for a CHORE to install it.

I think they're out of business. I'm doing a lot of refurbishing before the driving season, so I welcome the labor.

 

Well, the parts came back from being bead welded and powder coated as Dale suggested. They look great. I've got the whole front end of the car torn down and the piping makes less sense now than it did then.

The pipe with the flange can't come off of the cross over pipe because it would leave the exit either pointing toward the waterpump or on top of the y pipe. If it comes off of the throttle body elbow it routes to a hole in to the fender well and puts the bov at an awkward angle. I considered that it could be for a single turbo, but all of the pipes are for all intents and purposes "U" shaped so that would require an elbow. Since there are all of these silly bends in the pipe, I don't think that's likely. One or two of the pipes kinda mate up to it in the hole, and route under the oil cooler lines to meet the intercooler.

The long pipe is my other stumbling block. I have no idea how it's supposed to even fit in the car.

As high as it sits, I wonder if it's not supposed to lie inside the bumper support.

 

when using most FMIC you have to trim the rebar, remove the rebar, and trim the bumper.

also, the previous user may have had a different setup so the pipes wont all match. post pics of the pipes and routing.

 

I posted pictures of the pipes, I'm unsure about the routing. If I don't have an epiphany or some brilliant advice in the next week, I'm going to pull the radiator & potentially the ac out to try to figure it out.

If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what I'll do.

 

well, another problem you will run into, those pipes are different sizes then the stock pipes. you should buy a set of new pipes for your application from Greddy or another ruputable company. then all you will have to do is make a few minor adjustments right where it mounts to the intercooler, 2 adapters on either side. the pipes you have now will need to be hacked and rewelded more then likely.
