Punishment racing fmic for 2g

[scorpio87m1]

Updated pic would be nice

 

[Boostjunki84]

Here is a picture I took when I first put the bumper on. I had to do quite a bit of cutting(and may do a little bit more) to get it just the way I want it. I'll try and get a few more pictures up when I can.

Wow that look great. I cant wait till they get more back in stock.

Thanks for the pic, do you think you would be able to fit the fogs? I don't have fogs on mine so I'm not sure how they sit/mount in the 2ga.

 

[scorpio87m1]

i hope we can keep the fogs.

 

[Boostjunki84]

I think you might be able to. It looks like there is enough room for them. I don't have any 2ga fog lights laying around, so there is no way for me to know for sure.

 

[scorpio87m1]

Man, I hope so.Because I just got some hids 1000k from Sharp and the stock fog look yellow and it looks so nice. I wanted to get a black intercooler, but not many people make them so i going wit PR. You have showed us that its the best bang for the buck. And if i can keep my fogs that would be a plus. Can you see how much space there is with a ruler?

You can get the core anodized black, just do not paint it.

I agree with you BoostJunki it looks like there should be enough space to mount the fogs. I should be picking up this kit when its back in stock so if I can get my hands on some fogs I'll test fit them.

So what happened with the hood not closing because of BOV?! I think that is more important than fogs.

Hopefully that is fixed because I dont want to run my car with the hood open

 

[scorpio87m1]

I am sure it was put in wrong. I have seen many of these kits and that was the first

I am going to see if I can "borrow" a friends fog lights and see if they will fit. I'll let you know when I do.

If you look in the pictures that 90cherrybomb posted, he mounted the IC backwards; those screw holes are supposed to face toward the engine. I also asked for him to post up some close-up pictures of the BOV so we could all make an assesment. He has not replied as of yet.

Just to see, I went out and set the adjustment screw all the way out to see if I could still close the hood or not. It still clears.

I didn't see your post about mounting the i/c backwards, however, I did notice this myself yesterday when I was looking at the car...it made me laugh. Although, I don't see how that could affect BOV location?

I will try to get pictures, but its hard when the person who owns the car is on a different work/sleep schedule than I am. It honestly looks like the BOV "pipe" is just too tall, if it was cut shorter and rewelded, it wouldn't be an issue at all. Maybe this one is longer than others?

It probably doesn't affect the location of the pipes; I was just wondering if it may have been something that was done or the way the pipe was mounted.

By BOV pipe do you mean the actual IC pipe or the pipe that the flange is welded to?

Also, when you take those pics go ahead and measure the pipe length so we can compare numbers. Thanks.

Hey boostjunk how is the bov holding up the one you got with the kit

 

[-TunedDSM-]

Just an FYI, Punishment does have these kits back in stock.

 

[crimsondragon]

Where's my damn refund?

 

[Xit40]

I got mine today. Needless to say I am very happy with it. I like the design better than my Greedy system (Yeah I know what I typed). It replaces the TB Elbow which is good and comes with an extra BOV which I sold already with my old system. I'm gonna keep my real Type-S BOV (I actually like that).

Well, I have been having problems with mine. I can't seem to get it adjusted soft enough to keep it from fluttering. I adjusted it so far out that the adjustment screw came out; even with the screw completly out, it still fluttered.

No one else has reported any problems with thiers, so i'm chalking this up to a bad BOV. I have been in contact with Tim and am sending the BOV back to him so he can check it for himself and we'll go from there. No big deal for me really as I was planning on running my DG modded 1g BOV from my last setup after testing the one that comes with the kit.

I'll post up any updates about this as they come.

I'm curious as to what your talking about here?

A common mod for the knock off type-s bov's was the single spring mod. Open the top and you remove one of the springs. I forgot which, you will have to search on that.

My tax refund. I need it now to buy me this kit.

Interesting. I may give this a try. I still think it's strange that i'm the only one having these problems. We'll see. I'll post up what happens. Thanks for the information.

Haha. I was thinking something else.

I hope you get your refund soon.

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

Open the valve, make sure the diaphragm isn't ripped already being a knockoff. Fluttering no matter what you adjust is a symptom of that.

 

[Grimis]

got mine the other day, haven't got to put it in yet (enigne first ) but looks solid. The core i got last year (was going to get pipes but blah) is bigger then this core. Will take pic's once the weather gets up to temp.

Here's my kit installed finally! Sorry it took so long! This is for the 2gb guys, only thing I really had a problem with is obviously no instructions which I think would be nice for anyone new to installing FMIC's but it is pretty much fool proof.

Only things is I received an extra pipe and coupler, assuming it's for different types of turbos and 1 of my pipes had a whole in it for like another boost source. I just went to an auto store and found a plug for it, I believe it was a 1/4" maybe 1/8" plug. Just used some teflon tape and tighten her up. Here are some pics, I still have to "shim" the FMIC core a little as you can see it's off center a tiny bit. I'm anal so I have to have it perfect! only thing I wished is that the core was maybe a little wider so even if you don't shim it perfect, it would at least still look centered.

But other than that wasn't too bad, LOVED the price and so far has done me well! Once I finish getting a few more parts installed I plan on dyno'ing it and seeing how it goes. I haven't really logged much with dsmlink, just did some street tuning. I have noticed that my slimline fans (also from pr) do turn on and off more frequently now that I have the FMIC on. I am running the Radiator and slimline fan combo from Punishment Racing.

I will be doing more business with them in the near future as they are pretty much awesome! Thanks Tim for everything, again sorry it took awhile to get pics and what not.

you will need to trim the fog light ducks or whatever you wanna call them. As you can see in my pictures where the piping touches, those need to be cut down.

I'm currently using the j-pipe but it will hopefully be coming off soon. It is a tight fit as you can see but it all does fit. I did all of this with just taking the intake off and the radiator is still in as you can see. It would have been a lot easier with the radiator out but I didn't feel like draining it and doing the extra work. I got it done though.




I have a ton of pictures so if anyone would like to see them let me know, you will need to either get a SS clutch line or bend the stock one and conect it and take out the "in-between piece" not sure what it's called but the upper IC won't fit with it in. It's gotta go!

 

[Boostjunki84]

That extra pipe is for a downflow turbo setup. I didn't use the j-pipe. Glad to see you got it on there.
