What FMIC to buy?

[KCz Eclipse]

Okay, i have a 1991 eclipse gsx. Currently, i have a crappy ebay FMIC that i got with the car. Its a JDM and is bent on one side. But luckily its only mounted and not piped so i can just yank it and get a better one. So i am currently looking for a new one and would like to know of a good FMIC that will fit in the front end with out any modifications. Also, which is easy to pipe. FMIC's with the inlet and outlet both facing the engine, both on the same side, or the inlet and outlet on opposites sides like usual. Finally, nothing that will break the bank.

*note: i currently am running a 16g, and am going to do the all the bolt ons (exhaust, intake, mani), im also going to turn the boost up to 12+, currently only running 8lbs.

Check out the VRSF front mount. I have one on my car and love it. There is just about no FMIC that is functional with out some modifying to get to fit. You have to cut the crash beam and enlarge the D holes on either side of the radiator to get it on. You need to get some sort of tuning and data logging suit. I used a palm datalogger from ebay for a while to monitor the car before i got my Ostrich and was able to start tuning. Also you should get a WB. The innovative LC-1 is a very good choice.

How well did the pipe that came with it fit. Did you need to make any mods to the pipe, or did it fit good enough. And why do I need to tune the car with after adding a fmic.

What Exhaust,What IC. Are you going to use the search function by chance? Or the parts feedback section?

Like stated the VRSF is pretty much the cheapest, and will support nice numbers.OR go ebay,and cut your piping out of what they send you.

The pipping fits very we'll no need to modify it to fit

VRSF is great, and little modifying is to be done. (That I know of, mines a 2g)
It's cheap, quality, and everything you need in one kit.

Your identical thread was already tossed into the Graveyard for lack of searching- what gave you the determination to pioneer another lack-of-research with the same title?
