What induction kits can you use with a Pace FMIC - from the point of view of what fits? I am quite keen on the APS kit that goes in the wing. I don't want to draw in air from the engine bay, and like the idea of the MAF sensor being mounted in a pipe that is supported at both ends.

 

John,

From memory i.e. from reading on here, I'm fairly sure that Adam M had the pace FMIC and I remember him having the APS induction kit too. I think they were on at the same time at some stage.

Cheers,

Wrexy.

 

Since the DV is attached to the TMIC, is there a port off the FMIC hosing to fit a dump valve? Can I have a recirculating one please! Silence is bliss Hiss is not bliss

 

JB, there is a 'bolt-on' adaptor in the pace kit to take a hose for your dv, you can mount the standard type or use anything beit re-circ or atmosssss

The area of the MAF/ic hose is very 'tight', I would think that with a bit of jiggery it would fit ok.

My Pipercross actually touches the ic hose but dont forget that the APS cast 'hose' is smaller in dia than the p-cross.

Hope that helps.

 

adam didnt have it - i believe it will fit though.
take a look at my engine bay to see.

john

im running the APS induction kit with a PACE FMIC on my MY00
had no fitting problems, best option IMHO

mikee

 

mikee take a pic and show us

 

I think the problem is if its the other way round, ie APS FMIC and another induction kit.IIRC

 

John, John, Johnny.....thinking about a FMIC are we???
What was it you said? Something about NEVER wasn't it?

Matt

 

Matt... I was just looking for that post. Damned

 

So John, you've finally succummed (sp?) to the FMIC route....

I think you owe everyone a fiver!

F

 

A Fiver???? I think I bet John £100 he would weaken eventually

Matt

 

My excuse is I need to try out all these bits and push my car harder than I would my customer's cars Safest option And a lot of fun Otherwise when I get a car with a manifold whose knock correction doesn't work what would I do?

 

thanks for answering for me christian.

unfortunatley you are wrong.

I did have an aps cold air induction with the pace fmic kit.

I also suggested relocating the dump valve int he pace fmic kit originally which they did on mine by creatign some convoluted pipework which was a significant improvement.

It also made the valve almost silent which will suit john very well.

Not sure if that version made it to production as it required more ally pipework.

 

deleted double post.

John,

Alan Garrod mentioned to me some time ago that he had to change his dump valve after fitting a FMIC and Induction Kit since the spring in the std one wasn't up to the job. I think he replaced it with a Baileys or Forge. He has a recirc, but you still here some sucking from the induction kit; does sound a lot like a VTA DV.

Might be worth asking him what the problems were exactly.

The extra pipework to recirculate the bov return on the pace development kit adam mentioned actually extends the return route to almost a metre's length!

 

Has anyone got a link to the pictures of Christian R's 2.5 Litre conversion in the members gallery? I'm sure he must have posted in on one or two threads at some point in the past!

 

So the one sold now has the hose to use the original DV?

 

JB, yes.

You can bolt the oem dv onto the 'cool side' hose OR you can use the bolt on hose connection to run any of the aftermarket dvs.

If you want pics I will get Mole to post something later.

Hope that helps.

 

John, speak to me before fitting the APS kit, couple of things to be aware of.

 

Bob, can you not spill the beans for all our benefit?

Please

 

Bob, any fabrication issues with the APS FMIC, or just tuning issues ..... ?????

Carlos H.

 

Whats the problem Bob. Mail me offline please.

 

is this the picture from ChristianR's 2.5 conversion

 

sorry Adam didn't think you had the aps cold air induction with the pace fmic kit, didn't look like it in the pictures. Anyway, no harm done.

Looking at the picture of christians engine bay it would appear that he has an hks filter and not an APS one on his car.

I know adams car worked quite nicely with the APS cold air intake and the pace fmic fitted.

 

not offended, no harm done!

 

Going for APS FMIC, Forge recirc DV and will try APS induction. Also trying to get a BPM large bore intake pipe from Mac's Power.
