RTM 2G FMIC Install?

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate links, including eBay, Amazon, and others.

Does anyone have any decent articles/guides on how some have installed the RTM FMIC 2G kit?
Specifically on a 2G Spyder GS?

Just loooking for examples so i can figure out whats best for me.


It'll be identical to the VRSF 2G install. RTM just bought the rights/bought theirs from the OG supplier. I've installed one before and it requires a few things. You'll have to look the powersteering cooler lines, and you'll have to cut a wider hole on the passenger side of the radiator/center support. The OEM coolant overflow is gonna have to be relocated or deleted/replaced with an aftermarket one as well. The fiberglass bumper support will 100% have to be deleted as well, and if you have foglights they'll need to be deleted as well. It's a giant intercooler. Well worth the money though.

There's a few threads still that I can see that show a step by step I think.
 
Thanks!
Im actually almost done with the install.
I cut out the left side for the pipe first with a dremel, then finished it off with a die grinder. It made a nice clean cut for the pipe.
Centered the FMIC nicely. Then tapped a 1/4 20 bolt (used stainless) to the center bracket on the FMIC to the support bracker on the vehicle.
Then i drilled out and tapped each side bracket for a 3/8 bolt (black grade 8), also put a rubber spacer between the side brackets and the frame so the FMIC will be level with the top support bracket. Each 3/8 bolt although tapped also has a nut on the inside end, to be extra safe.
Also ended up adding some aluminum foil pipe insulation on the PS cooler lines that stick out in front of the radiator, to both protect the pipes and the FMIC.

Now i will need to cut out the bumper and bumper cover, to put them back on, then make a custom bracket to put the fog lights back.

None of those things really need to be deleted. They just need to be modified to fit back on.
