LOL.....i did that myself

What E-Bay FMIC did you buy.....i'm looking into buying a FMIC kit in a week or so. If you could give me a ( link ) to the one you bought or one like you bought, that would really help me out......and your cars looking good by the way.

the ic core is really overkill for a t25 though. if i could do it again i would get one 1/2 as tall and keep my metal bumper

Thanks for the link. Did you need to modify any of the piping to make it work? thanks

my motor has 97k
the ic piping works without mods, but you will need something on the throttle body to make it reach the coldpipe. (you can see i have a 45 degree bend and 2 black couplers). i have heard s13 sr fmics probably fit with less headache.

I have heard the same thing about the S13 ColdPipe, and thanks for the info on the FMIC......i'm going to buy that same kit next week + i'm going to but the 45 degree bend. One more ( ? ) that 45 degree bend.....is it 3 inch or 2.5 inch piping, b/c the piping in the FMIC kit is 2.5 inch piping and the throttle body is 3 inch in (D) so i just wanted to know if i have to buy a 3 inch 45 degree piping or a 2.5.........thanks for all the help.......

P.S. Did you have to cut a hold in the batt. holder for the FMIC piping?

the tb inlet is more like 2.75 as is the cold pipe. a 2.5" 45 degree bend with 2.5" couplers on either side will work best (you will have to stretch them a tad to fit over the tb and coldpipe. i used a 3" 45 degree bend with 2x 2.5/3" reducers. be prepared to cut the 45 bend pretty short. a silicone bend might be your best bet
anyhow the e-manage main harness is now wired up. i havent decided if i should use the ignition harness if i dont want to mess with timing too much. anyone have a driver so my comp will talk through the usb to the blue unit?
