Help with FMIC install please!

Blown2000GT · May 4th, 2010, 05:22 PM

I'm currenty installing my CxRacing intercooler kit, and i'm curious on where to cut the fender to run the pipe up in the fender and to the upper plenum. If anyone has pictures or advice please let me know, it would be greatly appriciated!

shouldnt have to "cut it" unless you have a powerpipe or something else using the hole in the side of the inner fender. piping should just route up into the engine bay.

yeah i have a 4" AFM power pipe...so my 3" intercooler pipe wont fit in the same hole as my powerpipe...

Hey now... dont listen to baker... wait until zig gets in here

Just playing man, he should be right...

BakerFX4 · May 4th, 2010, 05:44 PM

exactly right. Well you will indeed need to cut it then. The powerpipe should have a template to go by. Mine did. But i didnt use it. I used and air chizzel with a cutting bit and cut mine out. You might could use a sawzall?

BakerFX4 · May 4th, 2010, 05:45 PM

I just cut mine to fit by eyeballing it.

*read sig as dolb said!

Dolbs4082 · May 4th, 2010, 05:48 PM

BakerFX4 · May 4th, 2010, 05:50 PM

for dolbs!!

sawsall, or dremel. i found my dremel to be EXTREMELY handy throughout my supercharger install. i bought a metal cutting attachment kit from lowes for like $10 and it works wonders.

The fenderwell was tricky for me with the stock intake, and retarded intercooler piping. I cut about 5" along towards the engine bay. Same height. I marked it, and cut it with a dremel.

Then used a magnet, and vacuum to get all the pieces of metal.

Also, get some fuel hose, cut it directly in the middle, put it along the fenderwell where you cut, and itll look nice and not hacked up.
