FMIC Fitting - Howto... 56K be ware

VVladeadmin20 Nov 2006, 10:06

Howsit all, since I've seen so many guys doing / wanted to do a FMIC... here is how I did it...


300x600x76 IC from Turbo & Nos


One of the inlets 76mm


In one of the tanks


Side tank shot


IC stand alone


Preparing to remove the bumper at my bud, Martin's house


Removing the bolts, there are a view hidden quite deep into the arch and its a bitch to reach


Bumper removed, you can see the actual "Crash" bumper, I decided to keep mind and just mod it, incase of a fender bender my car won't crumple the whole car, a pic later will show how I had to mod it to fit


IC mounted, we used 3mm flat bar to mount the IC, the top mounting brackets mounted to the same place where the hooters go


Left side outlet, note how it clears the toe linkage


Inlet, one can still see the old IC ducting


Clearance between the radiator and IC, if you look closely you'll see the bottom mounting brackets


Modded bumper, not the piece I had to cut out in order to refit the bumper over the IC


Front view of the IC, note the top mounting brackets


Cold pipe, you'll note that my battery is missing, that is because I moved it to the boot, I also needed to make a hole in the old battery holder for the cold pipe to come through


Cold pipe through battery holder


A pic of the enlarged hole at the hot pipe side


Complete fit... Not shown in any of the pictures is the water washer bottle on the left hand side, this was moved in order to have the cold pipes run through, I had my pipes specifically bend in order for the bottle to fit


Hot pipe side, NO MORE WMIC Yeah 😂


Top view of the hot pipe

In order to fit the bumper back on, we needed to cut away some of the ducting, the bumper is made from polyurethane and we used a simple Handheld angle grinder. Wear some masks the smell is really horrible, we got lekka high from it


My bud Andre working his magic


All cutting done, note how much of the bumper we removed

Unfortunately I never took a pic of the completed project... Will do so soon

I'm a bit sluggish on removing the bumper and stuff so did it without removing the bumper, did it in about 2 hours but it is not fitted yet need a place to do the pipes and some flat bar first to fasten it.

All in all it took two weeks, since I only have weekends free

1wkend Fitted the cooler, dropped car at place to do pipes
2wkend Fetched car, completed the bumper
