fitting fmic HELP!! - Scottp123 - 07-09-2014
i have everything i need all came of a hdi but cant for the life of me work it all out
RE: fitting fmic HELP!! - j77hrn - 07-09-2014
When I did it i put the inlet pipe on and attached the intercooler to the front of the car and just worked from the intercooler to the turbo and inlet. Trial and error until it's all joined together!

i tried looking at a few pics think i have kinda got it i just need to do a bit more reading up tbh mate i have never done anything like this before.

There's several guides on intercooling, there's also tons of project threads with lots of pictures of how other have done theirs. You can't get an off-the-shelf kit, so it's never going to be straight-forward to install. I did mine in 2 stages because i was using the car daily and couldn't afford to have it off the road for any time. First i mounted the fmic and mocked up all the pipework aside from the inlet and turbo pipes, once i was happy with all that i swapped over the inlet elbow and turbo bottom pipe to plumb it all in. Just takes off time pressure when it comes to mocking stuff up.

Thanks for that bud luckily i have two hdis at the moment..i think tbh i am about there i have it all on just needs few tweeks and some mounting brackets making up havent had chance to check for leaks or anything yet as the car has no exhaust on until tommorow.. quick question about running more psi through the turbo i know the text but have never done anything like this myself so any advice would be muchly appreciated
p.s i also was missing 406 plastic hose coming of turbo why it wasnt quite making sense but managed to get one first scrap yard i went to
RE: fitting fmic HELP!! - Poodle - 10-09-2014
Sorry, I don't understand the question about boost..? The standard turbo is safe up to approximately 20psi, no guarantees of course.
RE: fitting fmic HELP!! - Scottp123 - 10-09-2014
More of how would I got about altering the psi sorry mate was half asleep when that was wrote
RE: fitting fmic HELP!! - Slam Wagon - 10-09-2014
Fitting a mbc is recomended and you would need to get it mapped to suit.
RE: fitting fmic HELP!! - Poodle - 11-09-2014
Have a look at the guide section mate, it's all in there.
RE: fitting fmic HELP!! - j77hrn - 11-09-2014
I still need to fit my mbc! When I fit it is it a 4mm joiner I need for the silicon hose or a 5mm? I don't want to cut through and realise it's the wrong size!
RE: fitting fmic HELP!! - Scottp123 - 11-09-2014
Lovely thanks for all the advice really helped it's getting close to being on the road now and I'm getting excited
RE: fitting fmic HELP!! - Slam Wagon - 11-09-2014
Im using 4mm
fitting fmic HELP!! - Jtrigga - 11-09-2014
I used a 4mm was a bit loose but used a good cable tie, a 5mm would be perfect.

RE: fitting fmic HELP!! - j77hrn - 12-09-2014
Cheers, might try fitting it over the weekend! I think I'm leaking boost though, only sitting at around 10 psi
RE: fitting fmic HELP!! - Scottp123 - 12-09-2014
I thought that 2 bud I'm only sitting at ten psi 2.. Question to anyone I know there's two sorts of boost controller what one would everybody use??
RE: fitting fmic HELP!! - Midnightclub - 12-09-2014
Ball and spring type is generally regarded as being the better
RE: fitting fmic HELP!! - Scottp123 - 12-09-2014
Nice one bud there is one where you have to pieces tho if that makes sense and has 3 pipes coming of and one that's just a single piece with 2 pipes would bring an item up on eBay but am on my phone
RE: fitting fmic HELP!! - Midnightclub - 12-09-2014
The one with 3 pipes is a bleed valve type, the one with 2 pipes is the ball and spring.. that's the one you want
RE: fitting fmic HELP!! - Scottp123 - 12-09-2014
Lovely nice on bud I ain't got a clue when it comes to stuff like this first car I have owned with a turbo
RE: fitting fmic HELP!! - Midnightclub - 12-09-2014
S'alright mate, everyone's gotta start somewhere

This is the one I used, can't fault it very accurate for adjusting the boost. Make the seller an offer too.
