Short Route FMIC Piping

[thejollyrancher]

Hey everyone!
I'm trying to fix up my FMIC piping set up in my 1g Talon. Right now its running short route as I've removed my A/C fan but coming from the J-pipe, it dips under the car and comes back up to the right of the intercooler. I just wanted some more ideas as to the best place to route it so I don't have to dip it under the car. I'd love to see some pictures if you guys have any!

Does your fmic have outlets on the same side? Or both sides?

I have a down firing turbo so the pipe is straight over to the driver side with a 90* bend and another 90* coupler to the fmic, the. The outlet to the upper pipe goes through the rad support and up to the TB, i think thats the most simplistic way.

I have an ETS fmic for what it's worth. And I'm a 2g but routing generally the same.

urbansmoker1: Ya my upper intercooler piping is good. I put an angle grinder to a little work and got a nice route. For the other side of the intercooler, theres a few hard lines that go through a hole in the frame. I assume an A/C delete will get rid of all of those so once thats done I should be able to run the pipes through there.

EDIT: I have outlets on both sides

iugrad92turbo: Thanks for the link. The last pipe set up i bought was awful and took hours of grinding and creativity to get set up. Do you have experience with this set? Does it require any major work to fit? Also the first thing i did was google it, but I didnt get many satisfying pictures.

i have my outlets facing toward the cabin of the car i feel like that gives me the shortest rout of all. just my j pipe to another pipe with a 90 degree bend thats it

My VRSF FMIC required a special J-Pipe from them to orient the system correctly. Their J-pipe sticks straight down on mine then couples to a straight pipe running to the drivers side intercooler intake with a 90* coupler right by the alternator. Just finished this install but I don't have a picture of the J-Pipe as I am installing the turbo this weekend if weather permits. There is a pic of the engine bay with the intercooler pipes sticking thru the radiator support at this thread, See link -

Thanks that picture was pretty much exactly what i was looking for. I'll see if I can sneak the pipes through there in the next few days.

Hope you figure It out just keep us informed on how it goes, my fmic was a cheap job diy, turned out nice.
