To be honest with you I don't really know.

This thread has been primarily about the 2g short route fmic kit and the older 1g short route fmic kit. The one you purchase hasn't been very popular do to it's ridiculously long piping.

i think i know what kit your talking about as i have the same kind with the one long pipe with a hook bend? ive installed this kit on two different 1g,s as far as i can tell the t-bolt clamps that came witht he kit work great, and the only problem i had with the hoses where some were the wrong size, as for the fake tial bov,, i would say put it on,, try it and if it works great if not toss it and buy a real one. if you wanna see install pics give me a message. hope that helps.....

[jorge4g63]

Thanks for the reply mangina24, and also i would love to see pics of the install 1ghaaaaaw. If it is possible send me some to my email jorge4g63@hotmail.com

I'm sure that will be a great help when i get to install it this week.
I'll be waiting on those pics bro.

Thanks in advance
Jorge

1ghaaaaaw would you also be willing to share your install pics with me? I also have this same 1G kit and I'm looking for any help I can get with installing this kit (the one with the excessively long piping), as most of the threads refer to the 2G kit.

jorge4g63, how's your install going?

Why don't you just post em up publicly for all to see?

[eagletalonjohn]

yeah ebay front mounts are nice and pipes are good too. only one problem with long pipe. it was like to short. this is for a 1g by the way. so all i did is was take a 2g stock upper intercooler pipe. it like worked perfect. put some t-bolts on them and bam. this is the lower pipe.has anyone else had this problem???

Where's your subframe/cross member?

[Gamble97]

Didn't someone get this to work with stock fog lights? I can't find the pic in this thread.

[PieEyedPiper]

I thought I remembered Illeclipse saying something to that effect, but I don't think it worked out that way.

[513Steve]

Good thread, I was lookign to upgrade my front mount, and theres a ton of great info here.

The ebay ad is eBay Motors: 95 - 99 2G DSM 4G63 Eclipse Talon Intercooler Kit FMIC (item 330211018522 end time Feb-15-08 05:24:14 PST) .

i have the xs power fmic and it was a bi otch to put on i had to cut and weld and take out everything............plus now i dont have a crash beam...

[1ghaaaaaw]

Yeah The Crash Beam On 1g,s Tend To Get In The Way,, I Just Removed It , Less Added Weight Lol Sometimes You Can Just Notch It To Fit Up The Fmic And Still Have 80% Of Your Bar Left, We Just Did It On A 90 Worked Out Good, Seems Like The Pipes Tho Never Fit Perfact , You Have To Trim A Little Here And There But Over All For The Price Its Works Great.

I'm looking into buying an Ebay intercooler and I'm leaning twards the SSAC 1g kit with its "unnecessary long piping". But are there any other good ebay/cheap kits that don't have ridiculously long piping that are proven to be able to handle the test of time?
