Default FMIC Kit

I know a guy who has started to sell FMIC kits for a wide range of jap cars and he's doing a few group buys on some other owners forums so i know my car hasn't even landed in the UK yet but i'm thinking about trying one so would anyone else be interested if i could get a good price on them?

OK Guys got a little more info on the FMIC Kits, as the supplier is new he hasn't got the full specs as of yet and he's going to try to get flow rates etc for them but the kit contains:-

1 x Large size Intercooler 600 * 300 * 76 mm ( Core Size )
1 x Complete polished aluminium piping kit
1 x Silicone hose connection kit
1 x Stainless steel bolt clamp kit
1 x Mounting kit

GC8 Kit Fits 1997-2000 GDA/GDB Kit Fits 2000-2005 but the GC8 will fit early models but will need some modification (he hasn't fitted one to an early car yet so he not 100% on what would need to be done to fit it)

If we can get a min of 10 orders he can do them for £225 delivered within UK mainland but i will update with extra details as soon as i have them

Yes the GC8 would fit on a P1.
This kit will probably fit 98-00 cars no problems but pre 98 will most likely need part of in the interior wing trimmed for the routing of the pipe work.

Once I've seen some pics and had the intercooler type confirmed, bar or fin, I'll probably stick my name down as well, so thats f5ish already!

i'd probably be interested too but as all the others depends on the flow rate/quality

I would not know what was good and what was bad re flow rate so all you experts out there need to post there opinions once the flow rate is confirmed if you's dont mind that is

Yep thats all you need. You can have an adapter plate made for your standard dump valve.

You would need to check what hoses come with the kit as some makes don't include two hoses: one to connect between the turbo and the intercooler pipe work and the other which is a reducer, needed for the dump valve. Both can be had for around £20 from demon tweeks

And why's that ? I would have thought it's a little early to tell yet.

It may well bite the dust, but I would have thought it's worth giving it a chance ?

for those with 99-00 scoobs you either need an adaptor plate for your bov
or just get 1 for a 97-98 and get a samco 35-25 reducer pipe, same as i did on mine

i have the autobahn66 fmic and the above sounds very similar, mine has got good pipework,as commented on by PAVLO(zen)
mine was 285 on flea bay
225 a bargain , i'll be letting folks know about this 1
