Hi guys,

i ordered a FMIC from the net, they said it would fit all GC8 model prior to 96'.
however it dont fit my 93' import RA!!
does anyone know wot i should be asking for? is it a totally different engine? do u know where i can get one.

Many thanks

where doesn't it fit? It'll probably need the holes in the inner wing enlargind, your airbox replacing with an induction kit and the back of your bumper hacked up.

If you look HERE it may give you some ideas I fitted a Hybrid FMIC to a UK MY96 with no major problems.

you will need to cut another hole in your inner wing like the 97

fishous

no its not the cutting bit its the pipin, i have the same pipes as delboy but not the same engine.

i dont see to have the right piping from the turbo. (numbered 1)

and the piping on fig 2, has a hole in the bottom, other than that it fits other than there being a hole on the underside where fig 1 pipe should go..

or am i just stupid!!!????



dont answer that
my engine isnt the same as delboy's

I think you're trying to attach one of the pipes to the wrong bit on the engine.



If you look at this picture you will see where the 2 pipes go. Number 2 on your picture seems to be correct. This bolts on to where the top mount comes off. Underneath this intercooler there is another inlet which is where you attach the other intercooler pipe.

it doesnt actually bolt onto the turbo bit, this is where your induction kit bolts onto

you will see pipe number 1 seems to go into the turbo someone but it doesnt, it goes under the induction kit and then through the wing

The pipe you say "I have no idea where that goes, I dont have any hoses there" - You won't have any pipes there, it is the 'take off point for the dump valve' as you have to relocate it using the FMIC
My turbo outlet faces the same direction as yours shown below (oldish piccies)

- Why don't you post a piccie of you FMIC turbo outlet pipework

When I fitted my front mount I thought it was very easy to do. I expect it to be harder as I am not very mechanically minded.

If you are having trouble fitting yours then you obviously don't know what your doing. I am not knocking you, but why not get someone else to do it for you as if you get it wrong someone you could end up damaging the car.

i think im missing a 90deg hose that comes off the turbo.

they said EVERYTHING was there but clearly not.
ill get one made up, the rest fits fine.

cheers for the help and pictures guys!
it appreciated

The 90 degree hose from the turbo is not part of the FMIC kit

Do you mean the one which bolts onto the induction kit ?
