1ViciousGSX -> My new FMIC set-up (10/29/2007 9:14:57 AM)

Well my new FMIC is finished. Went with the Garrett/PTE 24x12x4 core. Made everything else.
I don't think anybody would want to fit a bigger core to the front of a 2g. It takes up just about all of the available space, unless you really want to hack up the car/bumper. Although the LICP is 2.5 inches, we jumped it up to 3.0 at the inlet to the core, just in case I ever needed to go bigger it would be as simple as replacing the LICP. The pipes were trimmed to the shape of the tank openings so there would not be any pipe protruding into the tanks. We are running 3.0 inch up to the TB elbow. Still haven't decided which TB I want to go with yet, I'm working on that, but it will be done later. The tanks are made from .090 aluminum. We pressure tested it @ 42psi to make sure the welds would hold and check for leaks. We have engineering templates made for the tank panels that I'll try to scan and post later if anybody wants them. We cut the lower part off the bumper support brackets to make room for the intercooler pipes as seen in the pics. Everything will fit under the bumper and retain the driving/fog lamps. We had to trim back the bumper to clear the inlet/outlet pipes and make room for the thicker intercooler. If you look in the side vent openings you can see where we trimmed the top of the openings to clear the pipes. Came out very well. Now I just need to decide on a throttle body.
