CHEAP FMIC kit for 1gens?

[RyanTalon]

What do you guys think of this kit?

www.kineticmotorsport.com

735 for a complete kit seems like a great deal.

Is it too big? The pics in the projects section look huge

Looking to support a 20g

You can get a sweet kit from Slow Boy Racing for $750.00. good size core and direct route piping. plus you get it from a shop you can trust.

can you give us a link for the slowboy kit for a 1g i went to the sight and didn't see one they have two for the 2g?

 

[jzak423]

It's not on the site yet. Give Mike Huml a call at Slow boy and he'll give you the specs. Here is a few pics of the kit though, i'm buying one for my daily driver.

For the price, it's a great kit. It's not flashy, but then again most of us aren't ricers anyways, it's all about speed.

$700 Cdn, I think he's talking canadian funds here boys.

Mike will sell it for $750.00, like stated in the first post.

i am fitting my slowboy fmic now. i just happen to be friends with mike the core is a very very well made piece. you will absolutely not be unsatisfied with the quality of this kit. it is big though, check out the dimensions. i am going with a SBR60-1 turbo at the same time.

here is a link of the core

The only thing I don't like is the 90* bend the air has to make when entering the end tanks. The air just blows right into the end tank front wall.

But for the money, I guess you can't complain. (Then again a basic BR FMIC isn't that much more.)

is there any dsm vendor that knows how to make real endtanks?

all i've seen is the work of people who can TIG weld, and by the looks of this one just learned TIG in the past month...

If you go to the websight and look at the projects page for their FMIC Slowboy is using the same pictures I think they got the kit from Kinetic! Look for yourself http://www.kineticmotorsport.com/cardetails.php?id=13

Mike said he was getting the kit from his friends shop in Canada. That must be them.

Suppliers should never undercut their dealers pricing...ever. It seems to be a forgotten thing in the world of "import" performance with all the newbs coming on line in recent years.

I don't think there would be any "savings" to buy it out of Canada for the US guys. It'll definately cost more (shipping/duty/freight) when it has to cross the border.

If you wanna buy em from SlowBoy go ahead, I too will keep the money local...

I think I am going to buy the kit from kinetic motor sports I can drive their in two hours from my house it washington it's a good price and I won't have to pay for shipping and I will get it the same day instead of waiting for a few weeks. I am going to call and get some flow numbers and stuff like that before I make my final decision though because I kinda wanted a kit with a spearco core but we'll see.
