I'm not questioning your decision as such, just curious, I don't know much about them thats all. Cheers :D Yep its a twin entry FMIC ...... in response 2 ur other question ... Why ? .... simple real estate under the bonnet ....... there isnt enough of it to run down the other side of the car ..... plus the way the turbo is positioned it would be ludacrous to try and run piping across the engine bay as more pipe = more lag (obviously u could offset this by using smaller piping but again y run metres n metres of piping) .... the other thing is take a good look down the driver side of the engine bay (picture below) and ull see trying to bend piping through that maze is near impossible ...... and dont forget u would need to run piping for the air filter as well as the intercooler so good luck to anyone wanting 2 take that challenge ..... lol ..... but hey if u spun the turbo around atleast it would make building the dump pipe a whole lot easier .....

xoom 18 Report post Posted February 14, 2007 Ahh ok. Come to think of it... There is bugger all space there hey... Oh well, at least you worked it out :) Cheers :D Sorry for my ignorance can sum1 please explain wat a dual entry FMIC intercooler (I tried researching but didnt come up with much at all), all I found out was that it has 2 inlets n 2 outlets (correct?) there is a single inlet and a single outlet however they are both on the same side ..... a "normal" FMIC usually as the inlet on one side and the outlet on the other side ....

MAP81 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 I am pretty sure the turbo will mount something like this carlo C2 like to low/mid mount their turbos on the ZZ's not sure which direction bill is going to have the compressor outlet if he is going under like the C2 kit or over the top...

xoom 18 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 Gotta fight the heat as best as possible ;) ;) ;) Sorry guys the positioning of everything is currently being patented so i can tell u but i'd then have 2 kill u ...... but seriously in all honesty if anyone else is going to attempt this my recommendation to you is (and u can choose 2 listen 2 this advice or not .... up2 u really) that everything is custom built DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM THE KITS SOLD OVERSEAS ....... and to all the ppl biatching about how the car looks ...... im more concered with how she will go rather than how it looks :P :P :P :P :P i'd rather have it all go and no show rather than the other way around :P :P :P :P :P :P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
celicajim 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2007 Gotta fight the heat as best as possible ;) ;) ;) Have you thought about putting a scoop on the bonnet so that air can flow down over the exhaust and firewall, kinda like what the 00-05 Celica's scoop is for ?

I saw a set on yahoo auctions a while ago so keep an eye out.you're partially correct ..... TRD did stop production on a subset of their rims however the ones i got are still in product.
