R33 Gts25t - Fmic

[Mattw_83]

Hi,

So far ive avoided FMIC (installed r34 SMIC) due to having to hack the bumper and id rather keep the car looking facory. Was at JJR yesterday and bought a split front/dump pipe. he said some of the coolingpro intercooler (whatever the are) bolt straight up?

Are there any FMIC that could be recommended for a r33 gts25t which bolt up without dramas/hacking? Id rather a black one too is it possible. Sounds bizarre i know

i just rather the stealth approach to be honest. big shiny intercoolers bulging out the front look cool but just not my thing. I want efficiency without the attention..

Any recommendations?

The cooling pro thing is a good price and option. I just put one in the stagea because I didn't want to hack anything up either (and the return pipe from most intercoolers goes over the top of the motor/fan too.

You can always paint it black.

I'm not 100% sure on the 33 gtst but in the stagea it wasn't exactly "bolt straight up" some of the brackets didn't line up properly so you might want to get a workshop to do it if you aren't confident with "adjusting"

stick with the 34SMIC unless going big boost, more responsive, and the coolingpro needs the reo cut, front bar cut, and i needed a new top bracket fabbed

i think the blitz LM that uses the return pipes could be the only true bolt on kit

have a look around, as there are a couple of kits that use the stock piping routes of the smic.

there was one for sale recently in the classifieds for a pretty good price too.

i 2nd that

Blitz kit still needs a lot of cutting to fit though.

ARC turnflow is the only true bolt on kit, no cutting required from what I have seen.

I have the Blitz LM.

my front mount is bolted behind the rio bar and the piping runs through the factory holes under the air filter. I didn't fit it, so thats all i know about it. So yes its possible to set it up easy...except not sure how you would go about getting the intercooler piping for it they may sell them in that shape for that setup somewhere maybe.

if you removed the thermo on the front of the rad or put a spal slimline on the coolingpro would fit behind the reo, but would need piping and bracket mods... full custom from raceradiators down here in melb could make up a full custom that needs no mods to fit

you get what you pay for
