finally upgrading to fmic but i got ?'s

Post by PWRD_BY_HKS »

Well fellas I think everyone in town by now knows I'm turbo. And actually I'm the only turbo Mx in town now that Hector took his apart. Any way I'm trying to mount my front mount intercooler now but I'm having problems routing the pipes. I just can't figure it out. The wastgate and the up pipe get in the way. Can you guys please post some pix of how you did it. I have the ZE motor so those pix are the ones I'm looking for.

Thanx.

you need a twin/ same side in/out fmic. far less pipe and more room in the bay. They use this kind of fmic's on supras, tbirds, and mustangs iirc.

Theres a klze probe turbo in socorro fyi hehe



Whats going on with the intercooler piping? just run the pipes on how I did it but instead of going sidemount like i did, run the pipes trough either the back of radiator or the front. I heard where some people chopped parts of the front bumper support.
