what dimensions would you be thinking of using?gorganl2000

as stated before....minor trimming needed....if any...seems to depend on which glanza bumper u have from what i can tell
...the full greddy kit allows u to retain a/c, p/s, etc...........nothing needs to be removed
try one of sacha's/wepr piping kits....which can be bought seperately......u might need to do a little moddiing...but hey, that's part of the custom package...lol

and a tread like this would be a good place to gather research data ....lolol
....for another sps product release which satisfies the masses

oh
best of luck with it.if one was to go on looks which intercooler would you pick?i fitted an autobahn one for a lad here in galway and found it to be a bad fit.none of the pipes seemed line up straight and joined at angles,like it took physical strenght to put some of the pipes together.
here is the best picture i have of the jam fmic

I think the base model will have to be something along the lines of the Blitz Unit. As this is the most universal kit. The blitz Pipework and Core size seems to be a nice fit .
It would compliment both Glanzas and GT's at the same time as far as i know the Blitz kit fits both of these models and retains the front crash bar & Air con?

seems like poor fitting,,,,,cheap clamps .....cheap hose connections... can be a feature of some of the "lower-brand" kits........

i would love if i could find flow, thermal and pressure drop figures for some of these kits
MAYBE some people who run them can say if they expereinced such things........i know pressure drop is common on some of them
blitz has pressure drop of around 3psi...some say

The HDI piping with a core that is thinner and not so tall would fit with just the slight (it takes seconds EP82 only) modification to the power steering pipe and probably no cutting of the bumper.
Has anyone had problems fitting the WEPR to their car?
I cannot get the up pipe off the turbo intake to fit, to me it appears the 2 bolt flange is welded on wrong, needs rotating a bit so im gonna get someone move it for me.
Annoying this is its 2nd hand sio been fitted before! Only thing i can think if is the previous owner didnt have air con, and me keeping it makes the lange angle more critical.

So basically in relation to cutting the bumper, would any type of fmic require my varis front bumper to be cut up quite bad? also what would be the best fmic to reduce lag on the stock turbo? thinking of upgrading to a hybrid one though so again what would be the best one to reduce lag on that? After reading this thread considering an hdi or wepr one but still unsure!!!
HYBRID
Super Moderator <a href="http://www.toyotagtturbo.
i have a greddy kit lying around...lol..i know hybrid runs one and SWEARS by it.....this is a guy who has run several different turbo set up with different power outputs....so its a very capable kit
my friend has a WEPR piping kit ...and i'll be honest....the "blng" factor is definitely there...the thing looks like u should display it in the main dining room of your home...lol
and yes...based on your pics (evidence speaks for itself)....the autobahn88 truly a replica...lol
seems like the first blitz went out of thier way to find the longest route then
very good thread boss
well as u all know ( & as uv very well pointed out
) i swear only by one kit, ie the greddy r-spl kit.. today known as the spec-r kit.. the cooler itself is capable of flowing & widthstanding up to 950ps & a max of 4bar ... (no i dont think i or anybody else will ever need that much).. overall the pressure drip is only of 0.556psi per every 30psi, which is impressive & shows that lag is increased at a really negligable amount.. iv tried it on the following & always had great results, with the cooler remaining cold on the tb side even in 35deg maltese weather in summer...
ct9b, ct12 hybrid, JD kit1, ct26a hybrid, sard k24, sard k26, td04L & the greddy td05-14b.. i have never had ANY problems, it is a str fit minus the minor trimming u need to do, & a lightweight system... what more would u want lol

i've heard this exact complaint before.....from a few members......and a buddy of mine also experienced it......it seems like u just need to meddle with it a bit (maybe slightly rotate the compressor housing),,,,,as there are sometimes issues of tight space in the power-steering/radiator area
but seems to be a capable kit overall...as it has always received good reviews

Only experienced this on the auto EP82 where the radiator is too thick to fit the pipe on properly.
You need to loosen your aircon radiator on the manual models too.
