Fastboy67 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Well gents I've bit the bullet and ordered an FMIC from japspeed. I'm pretty handy with the spinners just wondering if there are any pit falls I should look out for. Does the bumper have to come off? Any advice is most welcome.

Fastboy67 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Sounds a bit more involved than I was anticipating but hey ho in for a penny in for a pound. Thanks for the advice lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Fitting a fmic is a bit of a pita On my classic I had to remove Grill Headlights Bumper Wheel arch liners Cut the bodywork to fit the turbo to core pipework and trim some metal from under the headlights Dremmel the lower grill out of the bumper and trim some of the back of the bumper . It's best done just before a remap and driven off boost until the fmic has been mapped in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Just a thought and have no idea if it would work. Could the fmic be installed but leave out the top parts of pipework until remap? That way you can still run with the tmic. For the impatient for fitting amongst us [emoji15] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 yeah you can mount the core Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I don't have one or plan for one but I know if it was sat there I'd want to put it all together as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastboy67 Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Great idea to keep the final connections till the very last minute with regards to the map being tweaked to accommodate the FMIC. I've not had the time to start the job yet but will get round to it this week hopefully. Thanks for all the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
