1g ebay IC, Pictures inside

[LaN-]

Look good man, sorry to hear you couldn't get the radiator fan in there. So far your the only one.

Keep us posted on how well it preforms



30 more kits will be here on march 7th

the tial WONT fit. not even close. i have to order a 45* coupler and clock the BOV pipe to angle the tial to the side, not a big deal. i am swapping everything over to a different shell within the next few weeks, so i decided to try and experiment. i took out all my AC crap, cut out some sheet metal and tried to fit the core in front of the rad. i did manage in the end to get it to fit, i had to cut a good amount of metal out though and i would have had to hack the pipes a lot to get them to fit. if i used the thinner core and it was about 1" shorter with an angle on the top of the core (i flipped it upside down), it would have worked out mint and had been very unnoticable (i like the stealth look). anyways, it was a good experiment though. so, i'll have it all set maybe next weekend if i get that coupler in time and the weather is good.

i'd try to flip the BOV pipe. Notice how you have it on the top half and the other pictures show it coming down on an angle. Or really i'd just cut the flange off and have them weld it somewhere else.

 

[boostcrazy92tsi]

agreed. the flange was located in the best possible location for recirculation. i would move that tial to the bottom of the pipe and patch the top of the pipe up.

Do you happen to have any pictures of what the inside of the core looks like? I'd like to see what the turbulators look like inside there.

Also, will this work with A/C, or does it need to be removed?

 

[boostcrazy92tsi]

my ac is still intact. took a lil bit of work to bend some of the lines to get them out of the way. everything still fits though.

I'll see if i can get some pictures of the inside, obviously i cant with a finished kit.

And like boostcrazy said it will work with your A/C

 

[me612]

OK thanks. Yes please get me pics of the core if you can, showing directly through, so you can see the turbulators inside. Thanks!

Wow awesome thread, looks like you're doing good business

Couple quesitons/comments:
Have you thought about fabbing (not sure this is even possible with end tanks like that) a UICP that would fit aorund the ABS?
If you're looking for new products to work on, I have seen custom intakes that are routed through the hole where the stock UICP used to go through. You would have to make the hole larger, but if the cone filter is routed down to the stock SMIC location it would get plenty of cold air.

The kit was designed on a car that had ABS, so the UICP will work if you have ABS.

30 kits just arrived.

If anyone has emailed / PM'ed me over the past few weeks i will be sending out a group email to let everyone know. (won't be till i get home from work)

Email me at [email protected] if you have questions.

Black and Red couplers are now available, but the 90 degree reducer will be blue.

So the top mounting tabs, you just wrap wire all around them? What about the bottom ones, are they just wrapped all over too? Doesn't seem like the most stable or permanent means of mounting.

The top brackets are hung with mechanics wire. The bottom brackets are just there so it will sit agaisnt the frame so it doesn't mess up the fins

Because aligning the kit perfect is such a bi*** i decided not to make brackets. The mechanics wire holds prefect. I've ran my car 10+ times at the track and hundred of highway miles it hasn't moved. If your really concern i've seen one buy that used 2 stripes of metal and attached them to the bottom of the frame then to the 2 bungs on the bottom of the core.

I may consider adding real brackets to the kit but for now i know this works. (its to damn cold to really change anything ).

Not only does that hold everything perfect. It would flow some air between the radiator and FMIC. Good job man

 

[Mike Marnik]

so what fmic will work with the factory fog lights. i should be buying a kit here in the next month or so hopefully

Will it work with on a 2G with a 1G motor?

The motor has nothing to do with it, it's all about the body. It might fit on a 2g i'm not sure, the kit was designed around a 1g.

I'm actually doing something different with the brackets. The stock holes that are there that hold in the AC condensor (I removed mine) make a good place to hang the core from. Also I flattened the bottom brackets and will be drilling a hole in the bottom tabs to mount to the frame. I don't think I'll have any problems with mine moving. I'm hoping to have it in tomorrow.

Those holes are what i used also. Either place works fine.

Got some news back on the intake pipes. They should be done in a few weeks and will cost around 60-80 dollars. I'll have a normal 1g intake and a 1g/2g mas intake. I'm going to have some UICP's as well.

Next projects are a side mount kit and a larger drag IC core.

Will those intakes have a BOV dump tube, or will there be a version also without one for people running maf for venting?

Sorry, crappy server made double post.

They will have the dump tube.
