Guest mk47 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Im buying a fmic this week some time, need to know what i need in order to have it all fitted and working properly.. apart from the obvious - the intercooler, pipes, silicone hoses, clamps.. what else? i dont know if im right but im sure i read somewhere that something needs to be moved or relocated?

Homer Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 At least some of that would depend on which fmic you are buying. Also, is it just a single IC or is it part of a kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveH Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 You'll also want to get a bov mounted on the pipes somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb10supra Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 You'll also want to get a bov mounted on the pipes somewhere. This is not needed, the stock one can cope fine You may need to relocate your overflow reservoir like I did, so will need a smaller bottle!! You will also need a smaller set of Power Steering cooler lines. I put mine snugly underneath so they still get a fresh stream of cold air flow under the bumper. I remember having to cut my front wing as well to fit the pipe on the drivers side You will need supra specific pipes as well, its all a tight squeeze and some bits are nasty, but you will get there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot_ie Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 you could consider a fmic kit The greddy 3 row kit comes with everytrhing you need, except the bov, but the stock one is fine John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 You'll also need to ensure that your FMIC is ducted properly to ensure airflow is directed through your FMIC, and not around it to maximise performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Cordiner Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Quick question, when you go to a FMIC setup, can the active front spoiler be retained or does that have to be removed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Quick question, when you go to a FMIC setup, can the active front spoiler be retained or does that have to be removed? the active spoiler will become dorment.It will be locked off (usually in the down position).IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
