Just plumbed up the FMIC.. took time but its done... Problem is the bottom rad hose is a little short.. im talking about 2 inches here... nothing major.. Have other people come accross this problem??

If so what did you do to over come it... Dont really wanna hack and join the hose!! if i have to i will though.

Bottom RAD hose? How is that affected by the FMIC? Did you take it off to fit the FMIC plumbing?

 

HI Chris think he may mean the intercooler core not the rad even though it looks like one
which side of the intercooler are you short craig?

sorry for my vagueness.. was in a hurry last night. Its on the right hand side as your looking at the engine... Its a 1994 WRX and a flatfouronline Autobahn intercooler. As im looking at the engine my bottom radiator hose loops round the intercooler hose and into the bottom port of the radiator. But with the new intercooler pipe the space there is minimal and the hose is slightly squished and now 1.5"-2" to short from fully sliding over the bottom rad port.Did anyone else have this issue.... bit frustrating!!

So you mean you disconnected the bottom rad hose to get the intercooler pipe to fit? In that case, disconnect your IC pipe and refit the rad hose properly. I've got an Autobahn and the IC pipe that you're talking about is a straight fit next to the rad hose, it's snug but not squashing it. Where it DOES squash is against the cambelt cover where I found I had to ovalise it quite a lot to get it to fit without fouling.

 

hi mate i fitted mine in 3 hours and had no trouble at all on my 95 wrx import

 

 

 

im looking at the rad hose and its totally different to the samco hose kits you get.... I think i have the wrong hose.. hence the non fitment... Its squashed on the IC pipe...

 

Not got any issues with mine clears the rad hose ok have you got any pics of left had ic pipe
