Hi everyone,

What are the opinions on japspeed fmic's? It looks like japspeed decent price or expensive perrin. I have ported polished headers with full miltek exhaust system and remap. A front mount is next on the list!

It's fairly easy to fit. I did mine in two steady days. The bumper cutting takes a while as you need to cut trial fit cut trial fit and so on until you have a good fit. You need to remove the front bumper bar as well.

Here is a pic of my engine bay to show you how close the pipes run to things, don't forget you will need an induction kit fitted.

If any of you need fitting instructions pm me your email address and I will forward on the instructions that japspeed sent me.

Do NOT use the shiny piece of replacement fuel line supplied. (If it still comes in the kit, I did tell Japspeed about it!) I did and got a shock when under pump pressure and engine heat, it swelled - quite scary! Get a piece of proper, re-inforced 8mm fuel tube.

japspeed fmic good price but did have a few problems with the intercooler holes did not match up and had to make up a bracket to move holes over. i did do a post to see if any 1 else had this problem and a few othere people did. now its all installed i am happy with it.
