Bulding my own FMIC for a 1g 92 Talon Fwd ? What all do i need ?

[PedroMartinez]

Hey ya i dont have a lot of money so i decided just to go the cheaper route and buy all the parts separately. I'll buy this kit off ebay .

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ecli...51615QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW#ebayphotohosting

What size piping come on that?? Also how many couplers would i need??

Also is there anything else that, that kit doesnt come with and i'll need to finish my FMIC project. ??

Its a 92 eagle talon fwd turbo 5spd.

I have searched and searched on these FMIC topics but i cant answer my ?'s .


What size piping comes w/ that XS power kit shown above.
Also what or is missing that i need to buy?

Also how many couplers do i need to buy and what kind just straight, elbows, 90's ???

Since that is the SS AUTOCHROME/ XS ENGINEERING kit it will work well.
That being said the piping is 2.5 inches and you pretty much get all of the connectors that you are going to need.

Ok, re-read your post, count back to 10 and re-think your whole proccess of thought.

You say your low on funds and your going to piece a kit together BUT then you put a link to an EBAY auction saying your going to buy this kit.

Either way, the piping will be 2.5'. Couplers are included, but there is a history that it will be MISSING 2 clamps and a coupler which cna be had at extremepsi.com.

 

[PedroMartinez]

Those 2 couplers missing are they just regular couplers ?? straight?? or are they 90degrees elbow couplers??


Otherwise i dont know which intercooler to buy to make my own.

and dont know where to get the piping from .

The kit you linked should have everything you need. Only thing you may want to get is a 2g tb elbow. I have that kit and it wasnt missing anything. You may need to do some cutting on the pipes but over all its a great kit and will work fine without anything else. Unless it is missing something.

I got the same kit but, i did not get any brackets to mount the core to the car, what should i do.

 

[Cs4g63]

You are pretty much going to have to get some scrap pieces of metal and fab a bracket up. My kit came with a couple of 3 or 4 inch strips for me to start with.

I got the same kit but, i did not get any brackets to mount the core to the car, what should i do.

You just need two peice's of metal on the bottom to hold it and bolt the top to the center piece on the bumper if you have a 1gb. I have a 1ga and am going to weld up some brackets.

 

[StR8sPo0Ln]

But the problem lays, that it has four sports for bolts to go in it. i guess you use four brackets.

 

[Cs4g63]

The pictures of this guys install should help you out a bit. Just pay attention to the pictures of the brackets he has done up.

Do they make these for the 92's ?? I mean 92-94 talons?? because in says that its for the 90-91 talons w/t he pop ups ???? anyone know ???

can i make it work???

 

[JayRolla]

It works better on the 92-94 DSM's(1gb). Its way easier to bolt the top up, you dont need to make a bracket just bolt it in.

[PedroMartinez]

are you talking about that racing bumper or the fmic kit off ebay??

 

[Cs4g63]

He is talking about the Ebay FMIC. The racing bumper is for the 1ga, 90-91. In the link JayRolla has it shows how that guy bolted it up to the bracket in front of the hood latch on his 92.

 

[JayRolla]

I was talking about the FMIC.

 

[PedroMartinez]

here you go:

Some short route info, not on a irst gen but might still help --> http://dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=175349

My guess is with all the piping it comes with you SHOULD be able to fab up short route piping, in fact I think I remember a thread a year or so ago where someone did a write up on how to make 'em into short route piping. BTW all these links are from the tech/diy section of this site in the top right corner

EDIT: Ah JayRolla beat me to it, oh well. I'll keep looking for that link.

 

[PedroMartinez]

you have a pic on the other side like to hook up to the Turbo part?? cause u know thats were the LONG piping returns all the way to the other side...

 

[Cs4g63]

The simple way would be to buy a short route kit to begin with.

I believe this guy that started this thread^ is selling them at a reasonable price.
