FMIC comparisons - King thread

yer ive seen them but im a bit confused on what one exactly have you got a link and does it come as a kit (i.e pipes) and does it need alot of bumper cutting???

http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?20735-FMIC-comparisons-King-thread/page2
its a kit..comes with intercooler, piping, silicone hoses, clamps..its made to fit the stock ct9 set up
it can fit behind the bumper....just need to trim the bumper slowly and neatly...its not a lot of bumper cutting

just got a 2nd hand blitz with the piping but the silicone joiners are a bit shabby, anyone know where or if they can be bought seperately??
 
this one worked pretty well with no need to cut the bumper.

kit is intended for a civic dseries turbo conversion.

as you can see a few joins are sourced at random and this is something i will sort another day but at present this is in and working sound:

maybe we can do something here which will benefit all the members:) out there looking to buy/change intercooler set ups

all comments and opinons welcomed......here are my observations......feel free to agree, disagree, state yours, etc..:)

what i find interesting is that some FMIC kits are advertised as a direct fit.....THEN u realise u have to trim your bumper to within mm of its life to fit these said kits------IMO the massive trimming should be an option available to the owner, if he/she so chooses to do this to allow more air flow or if they just like that “look”,,,,,it should not be a requirement unless fully disclosed on the kit itself

and again, with some kits u are require to remove your crash bar (ep91) or bumper stay (ep82)…….which both of these items are on the car for a reason…..do you all think it’s a good idea to remove these items?

not dont get this statement confused......i understand a little trimming may be necessary----given the fmic was not an oem part on the starlets

however, i see people taking out massive chunks of their bumper to fit some of these cores----which are kind of thick and/or tall in the scheme of things......here's what i've observed

Wepr….core thickness is said to be about 430*230*45...fits up pretty good...he has a race type available if needed

Greddy – core 600*194*76---ep91....just a little trimming near the inlet/outlet pipes...if u are an inpatient person u would end up shaving off too much...lol...core thickness is really about 2.75"

hdi -----580*210*100...massive shaving of bumper

autobahn—600*260*70----maybe remove crash-bar/bumper-stay, little shaving

maybe others can comment on hks, blitz and I know pete did one a while back

all the above FMIC kits seem capable of 250hp (maybe even more…lol)…from what I’ve seen
Which intercooler (and pipes kit) is proper to fit a 4efte in a Corolla E11? Thanks

A starlet pipe kit would maybe get you close Frankie, maybe have to extend it a bit to reach the core I've no idea. As for the core measure up and go from there, I have a core on the GT more suited to a gt-four :Dits 4 inch deep 8 high and 30 wide lool it wouldn't look out of place on the Caldina that's for sure :D

Great video Sacha, definite difference there that you would actually feel in the real world.

If I ever owned a starlet again, I'd get the Sacha kit fmic, exhaust, turbo kit. Top quality and reliable components. All are proven aswell, and from previous dealings reasonably priced.
