How To: Ebay FMIC

[Wagonbacker9]

OK, seeing as I did this months ago, this is LONG overdue. This is a general how to, assuming you know basically what you're doing already. The hot pipe routing is not ideal and I'll probably be redoing it eventually. Also, you really should use a slim fan if you're running 2.5" piping.

If you'd like to bead your pipes after you make the cuts in them, please see this link for a very cool little home made tool:

Here is the hot pipe, uncut Ubend from the CX racing kit... a 2-2.5" coupler is needed, or different size if you've gone with different size IC piping.

Down there, you can see where it connects to the uncut 90* pipe from the kit

Don't really like this routing, but it works for now. The 90* pipe comes through the spash guard, and connects to a cut Ubend.. you can see that the joint isn't perfect... that and just the fact that its very exposed makes me want to change this eventually.

OK, onto the cold side... a 45* pipe, uncut from the kit, also notice that a piece of the frame has been notched and bent back to clearance for the pipe.

another 45* pipe was cut, and a 45 coupler was used to get through the CAI hole. After the BOV pipe, I cheated, using a turbolife cold pipe that I cut... I'm planning on using the cut off section as an intake, seeing as it already has a recirc fitting that is over an inch in diameter.

and here, you can see it a few weeks later, very dusty, with the BOV recirculated.

What? Almost a month and no posts??

This is how I did my fmic, not identical due to my ride height but I followed Carl's advice. VERY cheap compared to other kits and more than worth it. I spent $250-$300 for everything(minus the BOV) to make this fmic. Well worth it, I see other kits that are extremely similar for A LOT more, like couple hundred more.

If you're looking to do a fmic but you don't have the money nor the need of a high end kit such as the Perrin or Turbolife, this is most def the way to go!

when you get a chance dub, could you post some hot side routing pics?

Feel free to use these in the first post if you'd like.

I had to remove my window washer fluid and cut out room for the pipe but I love it. My washer nozzles broke a long time ago anyways. lol

Hey Wagon, can you post a link or description to the kit from Ebay ?

[xDJ DUBx]

You should go to the seller and do a search for that kit, then copy the link and put it in here since a direct link won't last forever.

I tried, but they have like a bazillion different kits. Not sure of the exact match.

Sorry, that was directed to Carl since he knows what kit it is. lol.

I recommend the kit with 2 Ubends... honestly get whatever you want wherever you want.. but this is a GREAT deal... 90 bucks for a bunch of couplers tbolt clamps, and piping.

for now this link will work to the exact kit:

im an idiot lol, i saw your car at indy

thanks for posting them up though, that's about the same size as the hiboost, trying to one thats bigger.

[Wagonbacker9]

i could fit a bigger core just by shortening the tubes.. wouldn't be a big deal. and at indy, i had no plumbing... just the interfooler.

I got a "Sport JDM" 28"x7.5"x2.5" fmic off of ebay, $95 iirc. I had the bottom of the crash bar cut n welded to fill up the whole grille opening.
