In addition to my previous post...
They say the Blitz is only good for 1.2bar, how much boost are you running ?
And also, can you make a universal model Blitz fit, or do you need some kinda adapter kit?

 

This is the One I am using but with a 'trumpet' outlet with gauze fitted to quieten. I am running 1.4bar with no problems - I machined a new adapter to enable fitment to the Hybrid pipework with a Samco reducer


Cheers

 

Delboy, thanks for the info !

Blitz DV ordered......
Couldn't afford a new one though, had to settle for a used unit.

 

Thanks Houghston,

If everything goes as planned there will be a Hybrid FMIC on my GT here in Denmark in a couple of weeks :-)

Rasmus

 

Just ordered mine : would it be possible to have a copy of the PDF instructions aswell please.

cheers

Well i have almost finished fitting mine......just the induction and dump valve to sort out then it's road test time!! :
Who was it that said the bumper needs trimming back quite a bit ??....i was getting rather worried with the ever increasing pile of plastic cuttings,and they were right...you are not left with much afterwards.

The fitting of the cooler and pipes was very straight forward, i didn't have to cut or modify the pipework from the turbo outlet.It just touches the inlet to throttle body hose but hopefully it will not cause any problems.It was the cutting of the bumper that takes alot of time and patience BUT it is worth it.....all i need now is a front splitter to cover up the intercooler mounting brackets and hose clamps.

blimey , steve , you didn't muck about getting that fitted !

would like to see it , as i'm thinking of getting one myself

iain

 

Well i couldn't have the box laying around and the missus asking what's in it could i
If you want to have a look then you are more than welcome to pop round one evening.

steve

 

ha ha ! nice one Is the car at work ? I could always pop up there..

 

The car is at home..if you need my address then P.M me ......the induction side is proving to be a bit more difficult to sort out.(different size pipes etc).

steve

 

Steve and Ian,
interested myself, although I said I would not go FMIC route.
am thinking long and hard now, can you pm me what the final purchase price was please Steve.
Andy

 

If you check Harvey's 3rd G/buy on 22b.com he has delivered prices for polished & unpolished which includes the duty VAT etc and delivered from stock in UK. Less of a lottery now it seems.

 

I finished fitting it this evening...off for a road test via the Hants meet : ...will let you know if it works !!
See you there Andy,Ian and the rest of the Hants mob.

steve

 

RESULT!!...car drives fine with no problems,no apparent turbo lag,some induction noise (have to get use to that) and it pulls very well from 4000rpm onwards.

I am well pleased with the result...just need to get it rolling road tested to find out how much HP and torque gains i got.

BIG thanks to Harvey :

steve

 

tis worth the fitting..i agree big style...

and thanks again to harv.

Back to the dump valve...
I've fitted a Blitz dump valve, but no matter how I adjust it, I get a lot of noise from the turbo (stalling ?). With the oem recirc dump valve I don't have this problem.

Any ideas, does anyone else have similar probs?

 

Out of interest,how long did it take on average for you guys to fit the fmic including bumper cutting

 

what dump valve is everyone using ? i've got an APS recirculating thingy that bolts to my intercooler at the mo' - when my FMIC arrives in a coupla weeks, i'll have to change it .

Any thoughts ?

 

Fitting - Started Sat 2pm, Car running by 7pm Sunday - 2 extra hours monday night to re-fit driving lights + an hour or so a week later to fit a protective grill over FMIC.

D/V - I'm still running the standard plastic unit from my 98my uk turbo - no issues that I can positively put down to d/v - I've not been re-mapped yet, so not using the FMIC to full potential.

Hope this helps,

Mark

 

Hmm i rekon i could start early morning and have it done late evening is that realistic if i spend all day doing it or am i pissing in the wind ?

 

If everything goes smoothly it may be possible but it might be a little optimistic

Cheers

 

Sounds like a challenge watch this space

 

Yes - could be done - I spent about 2 hours trying to get hold of a security torx bit - in the end I couldn't, so had to drill the F..er off.....

Pipewise, I found the O/S inner wing pipe (2nd in line from turbo->intercooler) the most difficult....

Also, if you can see one done first I reckon it would help....
