MOUNTED O/E RECERC DV TODAY
 

Got to much time on my hands at the mo so looked about for somewhere to mount the o/e recerc dv found the best place with loads of room at the back in the middle so knocked up a couple of brackets and managed to get it sitting right the pipe runs shouldn't be to bad only concern is getting a reducer pipe to run to the original dv return input if any one has a part no for hose could they let me know so i can get it ordered up ready

MIKALOR HOSE CLAMP UPGRADE

ITS WORTH THINKING ABOUT UPGRADING THE SUPPLIED JUBILEE CLIPS TO THE MIKALOR TYPE YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERANCE AND LESS CHANCE OF BLOWING A PIPE OFF

Mikalor Supra Hoseclips...

Attachment 49625 Attachment 49626

THESE ARE THE SIZES NEEDED FOR THE UPGRADE

1 x 79-73
2 x 55-59
2 x 79-85
7 x 68-73

Attachment 49627 Attachment 49628

APEXI POWER INTAKE

WHEN FITTING THE FRONT MOUNT YOU WILL LOSE YOUR STD AIRBOX DUE TO INTERCOOLER PIPE RUNNIN THROUGH THE WING, SO YOU WILL NEED A CONE FILTER TRY AND AVOID THE OILED ONES AS THIS WILL UPSET YOUR MAF
THE APEXI IS A DRY TYPE AND IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE OF WHATS ABOUT

THERMO HEAT SHIELD AND HEAT WRAP
 

RIGHT WHILE SPENDING MOST THE DAY TRYING TO TRACK DOWN THESE ALLUSIVE INTERCOOLERS I CAME ACROSS THESE

BELOW HEAT SHIELD BLANKET....................................THERMO WRAP
Attachment 49632 Attachment 49633

Attachment 49634 Attachment 49635

THERMO HEAT SHIELD FOR THE TURBO AND SOME HEAT WRAP FOR THE DOWN PIPE AND THE INTERCOOLER PIPE THAT RUNS OVER THE TURBO
IVE READ THAT UNDER BONNET HEAT IS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE SCOOB SO MY INTENTION IS TO TRY AND CUT SOME OF THIS DOWN IVE ALREADY MADE A PLATE TO SEPARATE THE INDUCTION KIT BUT SOME REFLECTIVE HEAT SHIELD WILL MAKE THIS EVEN BETTER I CANT WRAP THE EXH MANIFOLD AS ITS STD AT THE MOMENT AND THE EXTRA HEAT WHEN WRAPPED DOES THE WELDS IN
QUESTION
IS THEIR ANYTHING ELSE THAT SHOULD BE SHIELDED FROM THE HEAT THAT ANYONE COULD RECOMMEND WHILE I'M AT IT ??????

WILL BE ORDERING THIS SOON

READY FOR WHEN I DO GET THE FRONT MOUNT LATEST LEAD TIME NOW IS 1 MONTH

ANY TIPS AND IDEAS ARE WELCOME OR JUST A COMMENT ON THE THREAD IF YOU FIND IT GOOD

STAGE 4/5 UPDATE 10/3 04
 

UPDATED FIRST THREAD WITH STAGE 4 APEXI REMOVAL AND STAGE 5 BUMPER BAR PREP AND REFIT

CHEERS ALL KIP :thumb:

What are you planning to do about the number plate mounting? I'm still mulling over this. From all the picture of FMIC installs I can see, you can't still have the standard mount.

Been thinking about this one as far as i know the law says it has to be on the car front facing so I'm gonna see if i can get away with mounting it inside at the top of the screen then a have a sun strip made with a cutout for number plate to show through and probably the Subaru swoop each side on the sun strip
I'm also making a numberplate out of ally and cutting into two strips and putting into a frame the two strips will be able to swivel up with air pressure at certain speed then when you stop it will drop down to show the reg printed on think this may be illegal but Ill give it a go

KIP

LOL that last idea is well illegal, but you've got spirit, I'll give you that. From the looks of it, by the time I've chopped out enough of the bumper to accomodate the FMIC, there'll only be a couple of inches of depth left there. I think I'll try and make up a bracket out of bent aluminium sheet with an L-profile from the side. So it'll bolt up or bond to the underside of the top part of the bumper, and give a forward facing vertical surface to mount the number plate to. I've ordered a 3/4 size plate to try to keep it a bit more out of the way.

Who needs fog lights? This is how mine is done - all legal size too

Not good for those with driving light conversions though

Great thread KIP.


Nice job and a good clear write up :D
