I actually have the same one I'm putting on in a week. That core is huge.

 

[dsmtun3r98gst]

so have u test drive it yet??

 

[colbyc]

where did you get the kit from? and was it a pretty decently easy install?

 

[Ethand14]

Damn that looks big

 

[Doubleot]

Its a Vr speed factory kit w/short route piping. For me it was a little more of a challenge because of my car being auto but for manuals I heard its a snch. That is if you have either a 14b or 16 if your stock turbo you'll have to mock something custom up. But it wasn't too bad a piece of the rad support needs to be cut but other than that its pretty straight forward. The piping all lines up perfectly, I would recommend this kit to anyone.
Yes I have test driven it holds 15psi like no ones buisness. I have a few leaks with my atf cooler and oil somewhere so I'll get It tip top again soon.

 

[dsmtun3r98gst]

Nah mine is automatic and we did it like it 2:30 hours and thats cus i had to drive back home cus i forgot the j pipe . Hey doubleot did you also keep your bumper support?? i know i did

 

[black_clipse]

Looks good did you have to do any cutting to get it to fit with the tranny?

 

[dsmtun3r98gst]

U asking doubleot or me?? but just in case..... nope you don't have to do any cutting to get it to fit as the transmission doesn't get in the way at all only the atf dipstic. but all you have to do is put a screwdriver in the hole and bend it like an inch and a half to the right and that gives you enough space to clear the pipe. (theres a pic of it in my profile)

 

[black_clipse]

^ good to know. It'll be a while before I get one, but atleast I know which one to go for

 

[dsmtun3r98gst]

yeah man for me it was real easy to do. pretty much the hardest thing to do for me was tightening down the j pipe .

When I take off my front bumper in the future i'll take some pictures that shows you how you can keep the bumper support for those of you guys like me that weren't willing to remove it like most guys have when they install a FMIC.

hey i was looking at your pics, what kind of intake pipe are you running?

sorry i know off topic, jw

 

[dsmtun3r98gst]

To be honest with you I have no idea . It came with the car when I bought it, It was hooked to a RALLIART filter; but I had to switch the filter and I bought a K&N FIPK since smog shops were making a big deal out of it cus the RALLIART wasn't c.a.r.b legal. Most likely and ebay crap the previous owner had bought . Works great though.

 

[colbyc]

heck man that ebay crap is better than this dejon tool i got, its a p.o.s, i know its jus pipe but still im dissapointed but does it have opening for your vacuum lines and inlet line on the sides, or does it jus have the recirculating tube?

Yeah thats what i've been hearing about the DEJON TOOL intake. No mine has evry single vacuum port and hooks up just fine.

 

[colbyc]

well damn ebay intake it is for me, mine jus has the single recirc. tube and thats it solid pipe the rest of the way, idk what the hell they were thinking, the vacuum lines have to have somewhere to go, idiots, thanks though for the help

 

[dsmtun3r98gst]

yeah no problem . Hey why don't you just take the DEJON intake to a shop and have them weld some vacuum ports to it?

 

[colbyc]

because im new to around here where i live, and idk really any good places, and im sure they would charge me just as much as it would be to get a new pipe off ebay, idk though wouldnt seem to hard huh

 

[dsmtun3r98gst]

Yeah. well what is the pipe made out of?? aluminum?? cus if its alminum some places seem to charge a little bit too much to weld aluminum since its a bit tricky to weld. just do sum searching around before you buy a new one.

 

[colbyc]

yeah it is aluminum, my brothers a welder, and my dads decent at it, jus seems like alot of work to me, and it burns through so easy, i just dont get why they didnt put the nipples and whole in it in the first place, does the 1g intake pipes have em because the pipe doesnt fit quite right either, its really shorter than i thought it would be..

alright scratch that, i feel like a total idiot, yeah the pipe is for a freakin 1g, wow this pisses me off, idk why i didnt notice it before, just wasnt thinking, welp selling it now thanks for the help man

 

[dsmfreak1984]

OOH SHINY! Looks sweet man, im jealous though. It make my 18R look frickin TINY!

 

[boostedgst523]

Have you had any heating issues with this FMIC kit? I've been wanting one for my 1g, but I'm scared of overheating.

 

[dsmtun3r98gst]

No heating issues whatsoever. I even kept my AC. But let me get back to you in the summer .

Also for whoever is asking. I'm running an Injen Intake pipe which has all the vaccum ports. It's awesome I love it.
