No noticeable difference on my type r pulls a lot harder though

 

scooby-tc, what turbo are you using?

 

RRE, I didn't get any more lag on my TD04 when I fitted this kit, (surprisingly), but my FE TD05 does boost late (and I mean late according to AndyF, not in comparison to the 04 - which its obviously later than)...

Having said that, my cold air scoop is now getting me 1bar at ~3100rpm in top...

Does anyone use this FMIC with the TD05-06? Thinking of converting.

Thanks

Rasmus

 

Harvey does on his WRX wagon. Over 400bhp AFAIK with a few choice mods!

 

Has anyone tried to fit a temp sensor to the intercooler pipework just before the throttle body. I have to fit a 1/8 npt boss, should I drill and tap (is it too thin) or do I need to weld a nut or something to it.

and does anyone know what material it is made of.

Cheers

 

That pipe is thinwall alloy, I have a thermocouple (1.5mm s/s probe) pushed inder the silicone hose at the throttle body.

I need to find some way of fitting a water injection nozzle but I fear the alloy pipework is too thin to take a thread.

Andrew...

 

Just for info, rather than cut the vertical return pipe (cos getting it off would be a right pain!), I cut the end of the horizontal return pipe (at the front of the engine bay). This has allowed it to sit lower in the engine bay, so it is now below the level of the engine filler cap - Note that I cut it at an angle, to match the face of the vertical pipe when in position......

How does this affect the clearance to the +ive battery terminal?

Much Better - I'll get a photo tomorrow and post....

 

Here you go - phone photos I'm afraid - ....

Just took me an hour to read thorugh this thread...

Had a question on APS FMIC, are the similer in terms of fitting to what everyone here is talking about?

 

Have any of you fitted the HKS SQV with the Hybrid? I have a hard time adjusting it. Can't get it to vent correctly on partial boost.

Thanks

Rasmus

 

Okay...Deal fell through on the APS...

How much can i get a HYBIRD FMIC for?

Sam

 

Speak to Harvey...

 

Been trying to get hold of Harvey, but had no luck...


Thinking i will put the FMic on hold till next year....and invest in a Apexi Acvr for now...

 

Okay....Just had a Loooong chat with Harvey...who has managed to convince me that I need one...

So will be getting it in hopefully within 2-3weeks...

Will have a good read of the thread tonight again...

 

I have the HKS SSQV, and still haven't managed to get it properly adjusted. It works very well under full boost, but on lower boost, actually even on negative boost when I lift the throttle you can hear this tschi-tschi-tschi.....
I have tried losening it as much as possible, but then it doesn't close fast enough. Now I actually have it tightened almost as much as possible, works best under higher boost that way.

 

I had the same problem with the forge re-circ. I've gone back to the oem d/v - doesn't seem to have any real down-sides...

Mark

 

I just don't wan't it venting back through the turbo, so I can't tighten it to much. But then again, if you do not tighten it, it has a tendency to vent to easy, ie on the high way on partial boost.

 

Same here, with the OEM bov it works ok, but I don't like it recircing.

BUT, is there really any harm (other than the awkward noice) when it doesn't happen over 0.4-0.5 bar, i.e. only on very low boost? I have a VF22, I got the impression that they are not as durable as some...

 

bttt
so everyone can spend an hour reading a very usefull thread

sam-uk . . . did you eventually get it bud ?

i'm fitting mine,starting tomorrow,well,my mechanic is ,lol
i'll just watch and cringe

 

Just about to start reading this one guys... dumb question.

How much and who supplies this kit?

Cheers

 

Harvey Smith, search on here!

Costs around £580 ish depending on exchange rates, incliding all import duties, taxes, from stock etc.

Kit comes with all pipes, hoses, and IC itself, seems to be popular and work well.

 

Cheers, was not sure if it was an ebay item (£300 - £400) depending on where I've looked of course + import tax etc

 

Yep,

In long time ago, took ages though the best tool i had for the job was an angle grinder...
