can anyone running a fmic on a classic throw up a few pics for me? got hold of a kit but I have a feeling its meant to be for a pre facelift. just wanna see pipe routes. this kit of turbo sides all goes perfect but other side is way off. intercooler seems to be mounted with inlet/outlet at the top.

 

Which kit did you get? They're usually advertised for all classics.

 

 

I'm guessing it's a jap speed I have judging by their pics they have 2 versions for classics n think I have wrong one for 99

 

My early car.

 

As you can see on the above pic the throttle body pipe has been cut to accommodate.

 

Ye I see that, I also notice ur bend coming off the throttle body is far wider then mine

 

This how mine looks so far.

 

You might want to try a different throttle body hose. I bought the standard samco one and the samco extreme. Two totally different sizes.

I didn't fit my fmic but enginetuner didn't ring me up calling me all sorts .

 

As U can see my throttle body pipe at the top here, the bend isn't as wide as both these cars.

 

im no expert on FMIC but are you sure its the right way up? The passenger side looks totally wrong.

 

See that's what I thought, but no matter what way we did the pipe route that seemed the best way and when I google it I found a few that way too. That's why I am asking for pics of classic fmic to see what way it should be

 

you have got the pipes all wrong you also didn't need to cut the drivers side inner wing to put the pipe through i have got the same intercooler fitted to mine but dont have any pictures to hand there is some pictures in this link to give you a heads up. https://www.scoobynet.com/722371-20g...at-last-6.html

 

Same problem i had you need the GC8 97 onwards kit. Mines a 95 classic and the one specified from japspeed for that year was the wrong one. Send me your email and I'll get some pics to you

 

well its all finally on and working, did a test run today. bumper is still off the car cause I need to cut out the black middle grill. also I noticed I will need to cut out the fog lights too?

 

no you can keep the fog lights just need to space them out a bit so they don't touch the piping.

 

how do u space them out? my pipes are hitting the rear of them which has to be cut off, do the brackets on the front side move forward?

 

with washers behind the the lamp mounting points, you will still need to cut out a fair part of the lamp cowls on the bumper and the metal mounting plates that go behind.

 

Interesting way of putting the FMIC on but don't you get problems with the pipe being that low on the passengers side .

 

its cause the kit was meant for a prefacelift the cooler mounts with outlets on the top. ive cut the p/s side pipe shorter now and it sits higher up to give more clearance, that pic was taken when I just bolted it all in to get a rough idea on how it sits.

 

Make sure that there is nothing for the FMIC pipe work to rub on.

This was rubbing on the brake stopper I have fitted, and it was wrapped. Still made a bar of boost with that hole in it though.

 

ha ha no ive checked after u said it clears everything, will keep checking once its a daily driver again
