hey guys,

have been searching for some time so im ging for gold if someone could help me out :)

I bought this cheapy bloody kit for ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FMIC-TURBO-INTERCOO...1QQcmdZViewItem

Just need a pic of a bay so i can see the pipe that runs past the alternator and meets with the last pipe to the manifold, where it runs through. Do i need to take the whole bottom plastic engine shield off or just cut a hole. Which side does it run up?

Sorry if i sound a bit sketchy, have already had half a case of woody blues. Any pics would be greatly appreciated! cheers boys.. and girls.

really what i need is anyone who has installed an fmic on 33 series2 with a cooler that has outlet and inlet directing to opposite sides. i think i will need to cut a hole under the water bottle somewhere so i can get the pipe through and come out above the alternator.. . anyone???

you are correct! if you were qld i could lend you the hole saw as well.

EDIT I only have a 86mm hole saw with no arbour to drive it, stupid me never checked that ones I had, do fit it.

dude seriously you are a legend. i have just cut a hole there and it all marries up but im glad you posted that anyway. Mods might like to tech faq this one...

cheers :D

You don't actually attatch it to the solenoid, you by-pass the solenoid altogether.

Pretty sure the top pipe on the solenoid travels to a metal T-piece connected to a feed that goes from the intercooler piping down into the depths of the engine bay...well into the turbo/actuator.

The boost controller you have takes the place of that that T-piece.

Then block off the pipe that you removed that goes to the solenoid, never to be used again.

The boost controller will then be doing the job of the solenoid.(controlling the pressure feed from the I/C pipe to the wastegate-actuator)

Start with it screwed in, undo a few turns, drive....too low? undo a few more turns and repeat.

forget that, anyone got a pic or link to a pic for a hookup of a two piece manual boost controller.

bottom piece goes to actuator, what does the top pipe go to?? any pics pleae guys... life savers!!!

Connect one end of the boost controller to the nipple on the intercooler piping and the other to the wastegate actuator (attached to the turbo)

If you have one of the cheaper IC kits then you might not have a nipple on the cooler piping (usually closest as possible to the throttle body)....if you dont then purchase a $2 nipple and tap it into the piping making sure its a nice fit. Temporarily you can connect that end to the BOV vacuum hose(the one at the top) to drive yourself over to repco or whatever.

PM me if you still have trouble

ummmm...isnt it then other way around. Undo (anti-clockwise) decreases boost...not increases

sorry to bring this question up but im installing a FMIC myself and it doesnt have the nipple, were do you buy these from and how do you tap into the piping, is there welding involved or sumthin?

cheers

Confusing thread as you started on 1 topic and then edited the title to another....anyways...

here's some pics from yours truly.

Don't take the hole i made as the exact spot though, measure it up yourself and be sure it's right 50 times before cutting.

Good luck.....

    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 馃悤, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 馃, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 馃ぃ) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy     
    • I tried to get in contact before I went to QLD you didn鈥檛 respond, then I tried to contact you in r31 club.  I thought you fell off the earth or something haha.  I will grab it off you but unknown when I will be up that way 
    • I think that might be in the question. He is going very low, and I think the standard GTR ones are simple tripod joints (like the rear NA/S chassis ones), not proper CVs (like R chassis turbo/GTR ones). Proper CVs take the misalignment better than tripods.
    • Do you still need the wiper motor and stuff?
    • I haven't used the Crank Motorsport ones, but can I ask why not use standard gtr/gts4 axles at the front? They would easily cope with that power level. BTW.....sounds like quite the project!
