Good thing i got my XS O2 housing just in time and its a nice piece of work

[n55long]

I know, they made quality auto parts regardless what other people thought. Too bad ebay is turning into such a government issued website hehehe

Its just a universal, some cutting, bending, and other modification of the pipes will be necessary. Check ssautochrome.com for their 2g kit, its a "bolt on" that actually bolts on for the most part and has the same flange for the type s / rs bov. You'll be looking at a little bit more maybe $50 at most but it will be worth it. I got a universal piping kit from eBay and it fit with minimal modification, I cut 2 pipes and bent the jpipe to more of a check mark shape I guess and it fit without any problems.

thanks for the link gregalmightly i might go with the ssautocrome fmic kit if they get it in stock soon. how did you bend the pipes on your universal kit?

[gregalmighty]

On the jpipe, I took 2 large steel poles which happened to fit perfectly over the ends of the pipe, layed one on the ground and stood on it and pulled up on the other one. I don't know if thats giving you a visual. Basically you need something that will either fit inside or over the pipe snugly to prevent it from pinching the pipe and long enough to give you leverage to be able to actually bend it. You'll need something that fits snugly inside of the pipe for sure though to keep it from deforming.

Edit: I went with a universal because I have been waiting for them to get the 2g kit back in stock for some time now and they still don't have it. I think you can find the xs power kits on eBay as well but they seem to be kind of hard to find now. eBay Motors: 95-99 Talon 4G63 2G FMIC Turbo Intercooler+Piping Kit (item 260240679560 end time May-21-08 22:29:07 PDT)

That one is pretty similar but I'm not sure if its the exact same, its a little more expensive through eBay as well

[Ryn1727]

ya thats gave me a good idea, i was just curious how you did it without pinching the pipe, the ssautocrome seems like a really good deal so ill probably go with that

i heard i am going to have to do a long route and bend/cut some pipes. What does a long route entail? where will the piping be going so i have a good idea before i start this whole thing i have 3" piping, some people say thats a lil big, but will it not still work? Will the bumper get in the way when i want to reinstall it after? will i have to put anything into the actual piping? (sensors, etc). i am only 8 months into learning about DSM's and this will be my first major project....my bro is a 3rd year mechanic apprentice, so he'll be able to do alot (i hope) and i know where i can get the pipes bent/cut/welded, i just gotta find out the angles. If anyone has links to instructions or even better picture instructions, i would greatly appreciated it. Thanks

As soon as someone answers me, i will post pics of my attempt to install my FMIC, wish me luck!

P.S anyone else use the universal intercooler piping on their DSM?

For the guys that have PM'd me I have a few more sets comming in around August with all black couplers and instead of just replacing the missing 2.5" coupler like on the previous run (ssauto kit is missing a 2.5" coupler and 2 2.5" tbolts) I have an 8" long 2.5" coupler to help the guys with slight fitment issues due to lower mounting of the core. This should help with fitment for the upper intercooler pipe and it saves about $40 - $50 when piecing everyhting together.

I got the xs power intercooler for my 1g and loved it!!! When my 93 got totaled i put it in my 95 and had to mod the ic pipes to make it work and it pefromed the the same!!!!! Love it. Too bad they got x'ed from ebay! They were very well priced for the quality regardless if they were knock off's!

Wildman, ETS is top notch. Looks like they've started selling on ebay too.

[gsx ftw]

I got the OBX FMIC and it looks good- even came with t-bolt clamps instead of the normal pipe clamps pictured.

My friend has the Godspeed kit with what appears to be the same core...He constantly pops his IC piping because those pipes weren't rolled out on the ends.

Tell him to use epoxy putty (JB Weld or any other) and make some beads on the IC pipes. Rough up the ends of the pipes with course grit, wrap a thick spaghetti of two part putty around the end, smooth it out and in a few minutes you have a bead that won't ever let go.
