Hdi Fmic Kit

[[[d a n n y]]]

Hey guys

dropped my car on sunday morning to get the FMIC kit fitted in.

Heres some progress atm

Basicly the kit is a full custom job that'll be a production version later on

we have made this kit so it needs no cutting and in the front bar and the reo bar

also used a thinner fan for the a/c side.

pics will show much more.

apparently 2 versions will be available

premeium kit and the non premeium kit

price will be 500-700 depending on the kit

here are some pics now

Looking good mate, I thought you would go 3 inch piping though, just cos you can.

Sweet, so what is the difference between premium and non premium?

pipe size seems ok! for the response

[zei20l]

wow danny that looks really nice!!

and i like the narrower A/C fan in there too........ great space saving idea

oh so tempting for me now lol

such as the clamps

ad different cooler

slightly smaller again

well done Danny.

noice!

There's a bit more room in there compared with an s2 or s1

Is that 100mm core?

[zei20l]

that IS a S1, S2s didnt come in turbo. i think you mean compared to a C34

and i think its an 80mm core

[Angus Smart]

Ahh nice i wouldnt mind a shorter core!

[iamhe77]

Looks very pretty Danny.

So is that a 600x300x76 core?

hmm, would like a larger thero fan than that, how thick is the fan you used?

Is the Premium using their GT tube and fin core and the non-Premium using their Bar and Plate core?

noice!

There is only that much room because the OE thero fan has been replaced.

No chance of a core that size otherwise.

[zei20l]

wouldnt the premium have the bar and plate??

[iamhe77]

wouldnt the premium have the bar and plate??

Nah. 'tis all in the design!

Have a look at the HDi website and compare the GT core with the Monster Bar & Plate core.

I would imagine that these are the two cores that are in the premium and non-premium kits.

If you could not be stuffed surfing their site, the attachment below is a screen dump from their site... check the pressure loss comparison.

Yeah right, there are s2 m35's?

[[[d a n n y]]]

the fan will be part of the kit

thickness of the core is 80mm

fan is a much thinner version of the oem unit

thickness i dunno lol

[Daleo]

Kickarse Danny! Once again leading the charge to empty our wallets!

Thanks for the discs mate, no more shudder . How did you go with your shocks?

[Jetwreck]

hmmmm...... definitely the next on the list for me thing in a month or so....after I fix the small PB problem that is

Just got to figure out where to put the gearbox cooler though. Danny we need to catch up again so I can do some measurements.

P.S. As Dale said "Thanks for all the help spending our money".

[zei20l]

im not sure if that was sarcasm, but yes there are S2 M35s! they are a PM35 whereas our current M35s are an NM35, but the N means 4WD.

no VQ25DET was available as it wouldnt pass emissions. Right now there are people attempting compliance for them.

And yes, they are different, slightly, like the subtle differences between an S1 and S2 C34

Not slightly enough as far as I am concerned.

But you have sorted it out now?

[iamhe77]

But you have sorted it out now?

No. Bonnet need modification.... and I need a grill (Dolphin one is $400!!!).

Looking like a more expensive conversion than I estimated

Have a couple of other purchases that require attention before the front (including this HDi kit, methinks ), but will have pics when I do it.
