hey guys im the owner of the car, the piping is just a MOCK -UP... its not by any means permanent, although it could be used permanently , just doesnt look pretty, ill try and get some piping pics.... just remember its MOCK-UP for the bends so it looks a little ghetto, works great though , even with the 2nd BOV! i have had NO over heating problems AT ALL , and i dont even have a primary fan in it yet.

this car isnt from tulsa though , i bought it as a VIRGIN car , just lowered . and thats it . I really lucked out on this one! heres 1 pic.

wow that is big,think its bigger then the Greddy 24r?

I have a Greddy 24R.... As height goes... The EVO is a tad bigger, but the 24R is longer. This is perspective of a 2G

Ok I have a laser and want to put this FMIC on it, because I can get it for like 100 bux, do I still need to relocate the AC stuff in order for it to fit? Pics of the entire setup would be greatly appreciated.

Ha I thought I was the only one who cut the bumper support off like that and kept the ends on, good job man!

you cut soo much more bumper than I had to on my fmic install. I opted for moving my intercooler back, rather than cutting thick metal up front. It always pains me to see someone who cut the whole center peice of the bumper off. thats less safty for you and your new shiny fmic, and its also a lot harder to cut that stuff. I removed the ac system (if you dont want to do this you dont really have an option, now do you?) and put it back to where the ac compressor was almost. cut about half an inch off the back of both sides of the bumper. didn't even touch the middle part.

would this work on a 2g?

 

[JTURBOGSX]

can you tell me the exact piping you used

I agree. The FMIC kit I use just bolts to the bottom of the stock bumper support. I totally removed the support on my 1g to fit a Dejon race FMIC. I'll never do that again...someone tapped my bumper in a parking lot, and it snapped 2 bolts that hold it to the fender, practically falling off of the car.

*Oh, and I still retain my AC condenser. Close fit, but it is still there.

Good job on the install. If I may add my.02, It would be easier if you had an actual pipe welded to the endtank on each side so that they exit out horizontal to the car. This way you can pick your pipe routing much easier.
