Clueless about how to mount this FMIC

[RipperXX]

http://www.diamondstarmotorsport.com/fmicparts.shtml the first one at the top is the one I ordered.

I have no idea how to fit this thing, I removed the bumper and looked at it, not sure where im even suposed to bolt it down. On top of that the routeing has got me stupified. it's like I must have to cut a hole though alot of crap on the right front.

Im not even sure all the correct pipeing was in the box, seems to be but a few things are diferent from the pic.



I have been makeing GREAT progress untill I went to try and mount the FMIC. HELP!

usually there are brackets on the bottom of the IC if there arent any brackets than you have to ge them weldded to the IC...

Well there are brackets welded on. Honestly though I didn't know if they were on the "top" or bottom. Theres no holes in them so I have to figure out where it needs to be and drill my own, but again i duno where anything is suposed to fit.

And it looks like im going to have to cut a crap load out of the bumper.


Does anyone have any pics of this exact kit being installed on a 1g?

It looks pretty straightforward to me. I've never installed an intercooler that didn't need some custom work done to make it fit. Put the pipes together off of the car and see if it resembles the picture. If it doesn't, then call the vendor.

Your install looks a little better than mine, the driver side "intake" pipe to the FMIC goes under the front the way I installed mine.


Thing works great though just a little concerned about when I put hte prokit springs on with the 17x8" wheels with lower profile tires. Just thinking it might scrape on a speed bump or something.
