Hi All :)

Following a thread in general for a group buy on FMIC, Steve has sugested contacting AH fabrications for some custom made intercoolers.

AH need a drawing of the intercooler with pipe lay out and sizes.
Design wise, I'm thinking on something similar to the HKS intercooler.
The core size could be 600x300x70mm, but what about the pipe work diameters and lenghts?

Has anyone got a scetch or sizes to hand (or link) where I can find the sizes of the pipe work, so I can send it down to AH please?

Regards

Windows - You are a really bad influence on my bank account. :);)

Injectors ordered, headers on group buy, custom FMIC...


...At least the bank manager is happy :)





But seriously though I am interested in your findings.

I know of a fmic that will beat everything.. biggest ever.. ;)

what timescales are you talking as it may be up for sale very soon..

ah fabs are very very good, welding is sh1t hot.

Edited to add..

Of course if you look in projects ;)

Windows, i could be interested to :D :D

LOL :D

David, any idea if AH have already done a custom FMIC for a classic and already have the sizes?
Planning on calling them on Monday to speek to Alex?

Whats the spec on the front mount you have for sale soon, does it come with all pipes or just a core?
Any ideas on cost please?

I think AH will be hard to beat on price though?
They way Steve's talking, they have built FMIC's with loads of custom pipe work for £350!!

Sorry, plus £50 for LOADS of custom pipe work

Maybe a bit thicker ,lets say 88mm and it fits well and will handle lots of boost??

Cheers

hmmmm.

I think you will find it more difficult than all this.

You need to figure out exactly how much bumper cutting you want to put up with too.

I would estimate about £500 for a full kit. Pipework isn't cheap, and easy to underestimate cost and complexity.

Dont mind butchering the front bumper, to get the benefits of a thicker core.

Could buy some plastic pipes from a diy place, make the piping required, and use it for sizes, but that will put the total cost up and I want to get one of these made at the least possible cost.

If I can get the first one made, it's going to open up a few doors for other people, theres loads of people on here who are interested in buying a front mount, but the only option just now is to buy a ready made one from one of the big manufacturers at a high cost.

Will give AH a phone today and see what they think.

im intrested too

see.....


:D

Exactly! Again i was speaking to Impreziv on sat night and talking about FMICs and he said they do custom ones to.

Told him to put in on his website cause loads of people want FMICs, but they cant pay the £1200!!

I can vouch for the quality of Alex's work. :D

He made me a little front mount for my Skoda. Not as big as the one you are talking about (core is 535x406x75, excluding end tanks). I've got the mounting points on now its just a question of doing the pipe runs. Oh, and no bumper cutting needed for mine :D

Very reasonable price too, £220 +VAT. IMHO much better quality than some of the others mentioned.

I'm also very interested in a group buy - lets see what the largest we can get behind the bumper is for maximum effect !! :)


minty

I'm intrested. Can u keep us posted?

Im interested as i could seriously do with not shedding out nearly a oner on a FMIC

I agree, somebody in the UK must be able to make one cheaper

Mark A

Possibly interested too..

:)

JGM :)

i am interested.

Can any of you guy's showing interest in the custom front mount put your hands on one for a night to we get some sizes of pipe work etc?

Money, how well do you know Impreziv!! :D
Any prices on their custom front mounts?

Andy

Don't suppose those sketches could find there way on to an e-mail? :D ;)

Yeah i know them pretty well mate. THey keep taking my money so they know me! lol

They havent got any prices yeat on their site but i told them to put prices up. Ill speak to them tomorrow :D

"""Don't suppose those sketches could find there way on to an e-mail?"""

not worth the paper they were printed on really...

and the sketches are still with the fabricator anyway.

suppose I'd better go and see what they've done, it's been well over a week now :o

Andy

I can provide intercoolers with a core size of 600x300x76 with bar plate with a chrome finish.

I have pics if anyone can host them ?

:D :D :D :D

I am fitting one to MY95 just finishing the pipework at the mo.

E-mail me them m8, and I'll host them :)

my cameras shagged, will send pics 2moro. been trying to upload to my laptop for the last 1/2 hour.

windows YHM !!!

Very interested in a custom FMIC too.......
