Hi,

So what is the best design for the FMIC :

1. Bar & Plate
2. Tube and Fin

and best option for piping :

1. Stainless steel
2. Ali

Stabler WRX 27 July 2005 02:31 PM

i have fit one of these intercoolers that cost £250 they are ok but you get what you pay for the pipe work is mild steel and has shoddy welding and you don,t get all the pipe work you need the joining clips are just jubilee clips i have found the best one,s are off harvey smith he supplies every thing you need and is always on the end of the phone if you have any problems i believe he can even gat them fitted for a good price for you

As soon as it arrives I'll host some pics.. maybe some of the install too.

Mr Footlong 27 July 2005 11:20 PM

I had no idea my post was worthy of a quote ;). Any info you can give us will be very useful to put it mildly. Install pics would fantastic too tbh :).

Cheers,

Nick :)

Well if it turns up I'll pop some pics up of the contents etc...

DannyBoy007 28 July 2005 08:46 PM

I'll be watching this post with interest.

I've been watching these on ebay aswell, When some one gets theres, I'm interested to know how the dump volve connnects, I have a MY99 uk turbo and the DV bolts directly onto the standard intercooler.

scoobyDAZZA 28 July 2005 10:35 PM

fitted a flea-bay fmic to mine a month ago,all looks fine,slightly dearer than 215 but still a bargain when it eventually came
i also have a my99-00 , , re the bov . . get 1 for a my98 and a samco straight reducer pipe 35-25mm . . fits a piece of pi55 then
i must do the magnet check though..lol
heres some pics of mine,
note the inner wing HAD to be cut and the pipe runs under the K+N

also a good idea to lag the pipe that runs over the turbo

to see if it's stainless or ally presumably? hopefully not mild steel...

Cheers for that info regarding BOV.

I've never atempted anything like this before, How hard is it to fit, cut bumper etc and how long did it take to fit. Or does anyone know how much it would cost to have one fitted and where to get that done.

The ad would suggest the inner wing did'nt have to be cut on 96 onwards cars.. hmmmm

For hybrid/Ebay fitting read delboy's thread http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=295624

Here are a few pics of mine

DV wise, using a MY98 Forge recirc I needed:
Samco 35mm elbow
Samco 35mm to 25mm straight reducer
Approx 400mm of 25mm pipe

StickyMicky 29 July 2005 06:44 PM

its all good as far as i am concerned, as long as it arrives ;)

the kit dazza has is the autobhan version, although i do belive the seller said sumwhere it was not an autobhan kit?

TBH im doubtfull of noticable gains over one make then another
as long as there not leaking or anything daft like that, and there in the right place.

bruce 30 July 2005 12:21 AM

I've just bought one of these as well, I remember seeing scoobyDAZZA's car at SBO and thinking the intercooler looked really good, didn't realise at the time which one it was.

Cant wait for it to arive now.
