Step by step guide on installing a FMIC on a Dturbo engine.

[GP123]

As above, is there a guide with pictures for example showing the basic overview to doing it all. Yes i know everyones piping etc is different. But the main pointers of what to connect stuff to etc...

Thanks in advance.

All you need to "connect" is the IC. From the turbo into the IC then IC to the inlet manni. Simples

FMIC is mounted at the front.
slim line fan is a good idea for this.
one pipe to turbo outlet...the other to the engine inlet.
may need grinder and "tapping" tool to make room for pipes

done

Too many acronyms

why you wanna know? . . .you have a 1.6

FMIC/IC...thats really just one....and if you dont know that one its a bit pointless reading this step by step "guide"!@!

i'll do a guide when i fit mine round Xmas or maybe new year . .

Basically remove the standard fans (so you have space)
fit a slimline fan (or 2) using the standard wiring
Bolt the FMIC to the front of the car (buy nuts bolts and ally strip from B&Q)
Run a pipe from the turbo to one side of the intercooler
run a pipe from the other side of the cooler to the inlet

Simples.

You might need to hammer/grind a few bits to get space for pipes

Get one wheelbarrow
Cut said wheelbarrow in half side ways
Markout and cut hole in bonnet to match
Superglue it inplace
Paint the car blue and the wheels gold

Because I have a 1.6 for now but would love a XUD.

Where does the tiny pipe go that runs from the top of the bosch pump (beside the lda) into the bottom of the Top mounted standard one in the FMIC?

If your putting a fmic on, the boost compensator hose needs to join the pipe coming out of the intercooler into the inlet manifold. you can drill+tap a hole and screw in an adaptor for the boost compensation hose, or weld on a nipple to attach it to

looks at my project thread i got a few pics from when i did mine

Cheers lads, good help indeed.

Just hoping halfords is open tomorrow, so i can purchase a 2.5mm allen key for doing the KKK. lol! lost it

[GP123]

Right the Front Mount Intercooler i have at each end it measures 2.5", so will the pipes i get have to be that little bit bigger than 2.5" to get over and clipped on?

[ozonehostile]

best way for it is use silicone hose to connect the solid pipe sections together. you can get silicone hose in 2.5 that will stretch just enough to fit over the 2.5 metal sections, maybe with a little washing up liquid if its really tight. make sure to use decent jubilee clips on every joint otherwise youl have a right headache with boost leaks popping up everywhere
