Installed Fmic

[i2icho]

2 Weeks ago on the Queens birthday i installed my FMIC with thanks to some of the tips posted in this Forum took about 10hrs in total (alot of stuffing around with alignment) but all in all im happy with how it turned out looks pretty sweet and performs alot better than stock

good work man what brand intercooler did u get? how did u go with cuttin a hole under the battery tray?

[i2icho]

It was JJ cooling pro s1 , after realising s2 would of cost about $50 extra o well, the price was good for the whole kit.

Cutting the hole was a challange with the wrong tool, ($5 holesaw from supercheap) decided to buy a good one from bunnings $44 so once that was sorted it made things a little eaisier.

After install 2 days later driving along full boost, the stock 90 degree bend (pass side) decided to split right down the seam so i had to pull over & get my dad to come down with tools so we patched it up untill later on replacing it with a silicone bend (one u get from supercheap) and so far so good.

So it was a interesting process but learnt alot from it

10 hours first time not too bad, do it a second time and it'll take you 3 hours lol

Looks good buddy!

yeah i forgot to tighten one of the clamps after i installed my front mount. I upped my boost for a test run, then at peak of 2nd gear, i hear a slight pop then all my warning lights start lighting up, car dies and my steering locks haha. Had to pull over, call my cousin to bring tools so we could remove the front bar again, jack up the car and find the problem...in pitch black darkness coz it was night time lol...not cool.

unfortunately buddy im willing to put money down that if you run any serious boost that cooler piping between the hoses is gonna let go.

ive got a cooling pro cooler and cant wait to get rid of it. its so shit. but then again im running some serious gear, so unless you are to its a great pickup for $345 =D

yeah man im only running 10psi at around 180-190rwkw

im no street racer or track runner just love driving the skyline round town.

Maybe one day when i have heaps of $$$ to spend on a car i will work it to the max

instead got a International Holiday, Morgage, Missus to pay for. On top of that Fuel food Grog Smokes

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it never ends

[ITZTRU]

missus to pay for hahaha...

i spend my money on my car...

my missus then has to to spend on me lol

i highly regret buying the greddy cooler that i have...

i'm really wanting to buy an ARC or TRUST return flow cooler now...

patch up that huge hole that i left gaping from underneath the battery tray...

Has the piping got 'tags' welded on the ends of them to help prevent them popping?

The product is not shit, make another comment towards traders again, expect it to not end nicely. You've done it more than once recently, now is the time to stop and remember the forum rules

JJR gear is PERFECT for the run of the mill application. If your going to spend (on the cheap) $350 for a big end application, expect it not to perform the best.

For a stocker/mild GTS-T, the cooling pro gear is perfect for the application, and priced very appropriately
