ss autochrome fmic on stock turbo. Help!

[2geclipse565]

I bought the ssauto chrome fmic kit and had no idea it wasnt ment for the stock turbo. So I used a piece of the old intercooler piping. I also received a tip from a guy at my local hardware store saying if i boiled that stock piece of mesh like piping i could get it to bend the way i want it. So i boiled the piece on the stove and it worked, there wasnt as much of a kink as before but still a kink in the pipe. so i got the whole thing installed everything is on right and now the car starts runs and revs but when i let off the bov doesnt do its job, it sound like im getting a back pressure on the turbo and its coming back out the intake. Which i believe is because of that kink in the hose right off the turbo. I need help tell me if you think my theory is correct, and if you do is there any kind of piping or any set up any has done in the past that works?

What does the noise you are hearing sound like? Not what you think it is, but how it sounds.

 

[diablos991]

The sound that would come from a BOV not functioning would be a heavy fluttering sound. If this is the case, then you can cause severe damage to your turbocharger by driving it like this.

I would double check the installation of your BOV; specifically the vacuum lines.

P.S. It also helps us out alot if you fill out your mod list in your vehicle profile.

Hope this helps to give you an/some idea(s)

Just pick up a 14b for cheap, more power and problem solved. How much did you end up getting the ss fmic for? And did it have all the couplers?

Thanks Greg for the link. I have been looking for that specific picture of a J-pipe as an example of poor design quality. Trust me though, there are a few still out there that are even worse.

2geclipse565, as stated by someone else, it sounds like a malfunction in the BOV, or perhaps you missed something when putting back everything together. Double check your vac lines and make sure you tightened everything and check for leaks. Unless its a severe kink where its basically a pinch in the line, i wouldn't worry too much. Update your mods in your profile.

Buy a turbo to solve his solution? That's not very good advice. You want to start with the simplest things first. Oh ill take a stab and guess he was missing one coupler and and 2 clamps, and unless he bought it used from someone or straight from SSAC's site, anywhere from $295-310 shipped.

You're right, it doesn't work at all...my car blows up everytime I start it

Actually, my objection is in regards to this thread and the theory I have discussed.

The original poster is right about the FMIC not being specifcally for a T-25, which does not point down. He is also right in using the stock soft hosing as a temporary fix. However, no boiling or reshaping should be needed. You should have no kinks.

I coupled the short 90 degree bend to the t-25 so it pointed down. Then I used the stock soft UICP (which also has a perfect 90 degree bend) to attach that to the lower piping of the FMIC. I had to route the soft piping below a crossmember and dangerously close to the ground, but I have been running this setup for all of winter and I see very little wear on the pipe.

Also, this is a temporary fix since I don't plan on sticking with tiny tim. If you want to permanently keep this setup I believe you can cut the small 90 degree bend down a bit so you can route the soft pipe above the crossmember.

tiny tim.

Good one!

Thanks I try.

Can you take pics of this setup?

yeah, that is good advice, if hes shelling out $300 for a FMIC on the T25, he could spend $130 more for a better time and actually use the FMIC. For the price of welding shit or buying parts to make the T25 work, the 14B is the best bang for the buck.

That 180 degree pipe is nice to have but it's possible to make the kit work with the 90 degree bend that comes with it. I'll get some pictures up this weekend if I don't forget/get too lazy. In case I don't, just read my description carefully, what it says is how it's set up.
