Hi all, just in process of sourcing some new bits for my soon to be new car.

Info can be found HERE

Anyways, i am looking around for a nice shiney FMIC, and there are quite a few on ebay, universal ones, now i know they may not be as good as other brand name ones, but its worth a shot.

What i am after is the dimensions of you fmic's, so i can get a universal one as close to the needed size as poss.

Found ones with 100mm core, 3" inlet & outlets, but the size of the ic & the position of the inlet & outlet pipes is what i really need.

Many thanks for any help

Also, chips, whats my best option there?

Thanks again,

Mark.

 

chips, a turbosystems re-programmed one are very good

like the cav by the way, without those flashing lights though

 

cheers for info mate.

do they have a website?

no more flashing at you

 

agree with the turbosystems , a very good chip and so much better than the ahmed one that was in it

cant help with dimensions , but if you are cutting the bumper then think about the cossie conversion a better option if you ask me

 

cossie conversion?

 

2wd or 4wd cossie intercooler , either a reverse charge carrier or some alloy pipe work as the cossie coolers are single pass

you do need to trim the bottom of the bumper slightly but imo this doesnt look as bad the whole bumper being chopped

 

Has anyone got any pics & dimensions of FMIC's?

someone must be able to nip out & measure it up?

and there has to be a pic of one not fitted to a car?

anyone got contact details for turbosystems, for this chip of theirs?

many thanks.

 

I would like to know the dimensions of the Pro-Alloy cooler.

 

Turbosystems chip all the way.

Had one in my S1 for 7 years and cant fault it

Tony/owner of turbosystems also a user on this site

 

The big advantage of turbosystems chips is that Tony can program an ignition curve to your spec of engine. So u need to decide on things like cams and turbo before u order it.

 

Does anyone have the dimensions & a pic of the GRS intercooler?

or any decent FMIC for the S2 RS?

 

radtec do one for the S2 and costs around £300 fits same hoses and fits quite easily

 

Do any of the manufacturers have dimensions etc on the websites?

I just want to measure up before i buy.

Do the majority of FMIC's fit in without much cutting? Is there a how to fitting guide anywhere?

 

They all now fit withoug cutting. The best intercooler now is the pace full frontal with reversed charge carrier - but its pricey.

 

Cool, thats good to hear, is there a fitting guide anywhere?

what are peoples views on the bigmouth conversion?

 

as in cutting the bumper out?

 

The turbo systems chip do u send ya ecu away to them or is it easy to fit ya self?

 

Yeh, like the one above ^

 

I hate it lol

But does the job max air flow..

Just get ya drimmel out and cut it..mines a 88 spec bumper but imo they look better cut out on 90 spec

 

What about the inside edges, do they need filled? where the big chunky bit is, where the number plate used to go?

 

Yeh and fibreglassed smooth

 

This is a 90 spec bumper u can see hwere he has cut it and smoothed it

 

i hate it too, but im working on a more subtle cut out. T28's on here is the best ive seen.

 

pics!
