What induction arrangements are people using with their FMIC Typically the Japspeed item.
Although an induction kit (well, MAF tube anyway!) is included in the kit, I would like to know the benefits of something like the RCM/GGR system and importantly, does it fit OK with the intercooler pipework in the same area?

Hi John, I,m having my Japspeed front mount fitted tomorrow and was told that my current K+N Typhoon should be compatable, although I have been advised by Jura that the Typhoon is only good for around 400 B.h.p. Steve

 

On my current Hyperflow cold air intake I have a K&N cone.(the original Hyperflow filter was a smaller sticky foam thing) Not sure how the size compares to that on the Typhoon but it was the biggest I could squeeze into the cavity. With the TMIC on a very hot day last Sept. it ran 391bhp so, with the FMIC, good induction kit and the turbo swap I'm considering, I hope to be well into the 400's It's the law of diminishing returns - a lot of money for not a great deal of gain!
Let us know how the installation goes and what the mapped end result is!

Hi John

As I said before,we are running RCM V7 big cone at 490bhp,which part number K&N(RU-3130 or other) you are using?

Hi Jura
This one: http://www.knfilters.co.uk/search/pr...x?Prod=RX-4730

The RU3130 is small! http://www.knfilters.co.uk/search/pr...x?Prod=RU-3130

I have tried both RCM & GGR and both fit perfect with FMIC

 

I've seen the RCM on Ebay for £213 delivered but on the RCM site its £212 +£12.50 delivery!
If it's the RCM Ebay shop then it's nuts to buy it from their website?

Give Olly a call he will sort it out for you.

 

Hi John

Would say your induction will be OK above 400bhp,I know my friend run his Hyperflow CAIK induction kit at 470bhp without the problem on his bugeye

Hope this help

Hi John

Speak here to the CP Motorsport

They're usually have discounts on the RCM items

Hi, currently running japspeed fmic and using a universal K&N fits perfect but do feel it may be resticting when on full boost. Soon will be fitting a TD05 so will be needing a bigger filter but also unsure what will fit?? May go inner wing

 

I would continue to use it but as the filter is in the inner wing, it will conflict with the FMIC pipework?

The FMIC pipework would most likely stop you from using the inner wing and even if you could, I don't think you could use a bigger filter than the one you already have? The filter I use (see post#5) is the biggest I could squeeze in. How does it compare with yours?

Hi John

As I said we are using the RCM Big cone,here is it how it looks on our wagon,we are using custom inlet pipe which done for us Neil@Slowboy racing






If you want using same filter like now,you can run,friend running on his STi Hyperflow CAIK with Hybrid FMIC,maybe on yours will need little bit trim,but you will see there

I'm running a CAIK in my car. Have done for almost 4 years with no problems.

I'm using a Green Filter cone on the end of mine. No problems at all.

Don't think I'll do anything about the induction until I've installed the FMIC, then see what needs to be done!
Jura
I see you have wrapped the IC pipework. I can understand the cold side wrapped to keep out underbonnet heat but I would have thought wrapping the hot side would keep the heat in which is not what you want!
I am considering wrapping the first section of the cold pipe with heat reflective tape in the area where it passes over the turbo.
