i have just fitted a brand new hybird gt2 fmic
i have got it fitted but the pipes* is very tight againt the cam casing
and has cracked it and when i start the engine up the pipe is virbrating like made
and the bottom pipe which comes up it is a tight fit the bottom of the rad and up against the casing...

being a good brand i would think it should be a good fit

and it is for my car as its on the box...


any help please

 

I might be missing something here but front mounts normally go IN FRONT of the coolant radiator, not behind it.

How the hell did you manage to get the pipework to fit

Thank **** for that.

 

lol any ideas?

 

Short of cutting your car about to make room you'll have to juggle the samco's around until it fits better.
If it's touching the rad fan as well maybe that can be modified a little.
Check you haven't got one of the pipes upside down or something as the bends look similar on some that I've fitted before..

Main issue is to get it off the cam cover as much as poss.

Failing all the above then cutting and shutting the aluminium pipes so it fits and then get them welded by someone who has an AC/DC Tig welder.

As the saying goes in this industry "Nothing ever fits"

 

being a hybird i would of thought it would fit with no problems
i have it all fitted and looks good but where the cam cover is it is virbrating
and is real tight agaist there as there is not much play in it
not sure what to do?

its the cam cover which i worried bout

 

Exactly, you need to get it off that cam cover before it saws through it and damages the cambelt.
The options of what to do are above fella.

 

mine touches the cam cover but i thought it was ok doesn t vibrate that i no ov

 

A lot of them don't fit that well as the space is limited. I'd rather see it touching the fan cowling than the cambelt cover though.

 

yea i no what u sayin mate. mayb cut the pipe 10 to 15mm that goes in to the throttle body so that will push the pipe awy from the cam cover

 

easyier said then done, if i pull the top passenger side pipe it stops virbrating soon as i let go it starts again....how about if i wedge something under there?

 

What year is the car? What year is the HDI kit for?

 

my car is 2000 uk turbo and the kit is for a 97-00 hybird gt2 spec

 

I fitted one with no issue, i would say you just need to loosen the silicone joins and rework the pipes so they join together better.

Where is the kit from?

 

aztec performance... i have tryed to losen them but still not getting no were

 

Shame you didnt get it off Harvey as the tech support he gives is 100%. Maybe worth a pm he may help.

 

it starting to annoy me

 

hello there mate if u try looking in technical achaives there is a step by step guide on how to fit a front mount, help me loads when i fitted mine
Try cutting your pipe just above the oil filler cap and join with a silicon hose should twist pipe clear it did on mine.

 

i will wedge a bit of rubber down there and see what happens if not i will cut and join again but for £340 i expect it to fit

 

have u drove it since u fitted the kit with out a remap? how yours run if so

 

it runs fine but i havent had it on boost and dont plan to get it on boost
it drives fine...

my mate has a scooby with a fmic with out a remap and its guttless
i told him it need to be mapped lots and lots of turbo lag

 

have you got the frount mount centred and like they say above some time you just have to keep jiggling the pipes about and then this shoudl be all good

 

£340! He saw you coming! So much for Bobs best prices mate, Harvey is doing the GT2 kit for £290 plus delivery @ £12.50 iirc. I hope you get sorted mate, keep working at the pipes make sure the metal pipes are touching inside the silicone joiner. Dont be cutting anything just yet, cheaper kits often require pipes to be cut or slightly reshaped but a genuine HDI kit should not require that.

I think Bob should ammend this little statement.

I bought a gt2 kit from harvey about 3 weeks ago and it was £290 plus 12.50 overnight postage and it fitted perfect. (98 ver 4). He also gave me an extra bit of silicon pipe for oe dump valve. I would be looking for a £50 note back fae bob5.

 

Fitted one to a mates car last week. Was like yours (touching cam cover) even after hours of fiddling and adjusting.

Had the idea to squeeze it in a vice. Just enough to dent the areas that touched (pushed in a couple of mm) You couldn't tell when you looked at it but could feel the new flat spots, and it fitted perfect. Kind of surprised me the pipe in question isnt a Pancake or oval styled pipe styled pipe? Probably something to do with flow.

 

The OP was PM'd some instructions on a better fit this morning.

Our price promise is detailed here: Our Price Promise - We won't be beaten on price

We will price match/beat any UK VAT Registered company.

We cannot always price match against traders/businesses avoiding VAT.

 

Being a VAT registered company doesnt make you legit though does it.

Personally i would go to the small trader who doesnt pretend to be the big dealer. Some of the traders on here do not require to pay VAT yet!

 

today i removed it all with a mate and took our time while fitting it again
and it has solved the problem it just took some time and effort but its all done now!
thank god! AND A BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO GAVE ME ADVICE AND HELP!!!!

to be honest i dont really care about the price i got it all sorted now so im happy

 

I had the same issue with my hybrid fmic, and I think its a known issue. Either lots of fettling, or a little fettling, and some heavy duty cable ties (a few of them) into the clamps, and tied back to the metal behind the headlight- works a treat!
