finally finished my FMIC pipework :-)

[mattvrestate]

Some of u may know from my build thread.. i have fitted a universal "Toyosport" FMIC to my fabia... around 6 months ago...

.. and only just got round to piping it in this week

Anyway for those who havent already seen it on instagram @M9YTY... heres the pics

The bumper fits back fine.. i have modified the inside around thr fog lights etc..

When the bumper is on the pipe to the turbo is no lower than the bumper + the LCR splitter is lower..

Iv managed to keep the pass foglight + both foglight surrounds but unfortunatly not the drivers foglight :(..

The front bumper is currently getting smoothed so im thinkin i will run my short numberplate where the drivers fog should be.. ?? Cant find any legal issues in the MOT guidelines or via google.. it will be a solid plate.. mounted on the front bumper..forward facing ..

Nice work mate. Strange about the drivers fog your pipe work looks closer in to the centre than mine, i think your cooler is further forward though. I want to get mine hard piped as much as i can now.

[mattvrestate]

I know i really wanted to keep both the fogs but the lad who welded it said it couldnt be done.. :(

I could use a dark laminex tint on both the fogs so u cant see the bulbs then chop the back off the drivers one so it looks semetrical but the drivers wouldnt have a bulb lol

excellent

Looking good!

Looks great pal

Looks good matt! The cooler looks to be a similar size to the one I've got on my ibiza..

Did you have your eyes closed when you cut the crash bar?

[mattvrestate]

Lol ^^ i had to cut it twice because it was sat too far forward so by time i had dun it 2nd time i was out of patience + cutting discs .. might tidy it up n powdercoat it at a later date or jus buy an ibiza one so i wont have to cut it as much...

..but for now im happy .. will get pics up with bumper when its finished

Hi there, I wonder if you can help us out. My lower boost pipe keeps falling off at the moment, I wanted to know what pipe work or fittings you needed after the 90 degree bend back on the turbo.

I'm currently running the FMIC from Seat Sport and may do a halfway house conversion to this

Thanks,

Mo

The ash hose you have at your egr delete is that the standard 150mm 90degree hose they sell on there website bud as I have the bot engine and want to remove the asv and connect a hose straight to my delete but wasn't sure if the ash 1 would be long enough cheers

I used a darkside adapter that clips straight into the turbo.. it is the same fitment as a standard one but with the restricted hole bigger (less restrictive)..

But u can easily use the one that comes in your factory pipework.. the rubber hose is a reducer from 57mm to 42mm iirc.. the smaller end obviously goes on the turbo

Its a standard 57mm 90º bend..

Def long enough. If anything u might want to make it shorter

Looks good mate may have to follow suit on this idea

[reidy22]

Cheers bud I'll need 51mm I'm running 2"pipework on mines

Thanks for your help on this, the elbow on this pic. Is that connecting onto the turbo?

[mattvrestate]

Yes. The red sylicone hose goes directly onto the turbo (using the connector in your original hose )

thanks for your help, as you can tell from the questions i havent got a clue what im doing! ive replaced the pipework now but that 90 degree elbow has split twice. do you do any track days with your fabia?

I dont do track days in the bus...

Have u checked the hose isnt touching the chassis causing it to split.. or even if its close to tge chassis/ sump.. because the hose will expand under boost + if its close when not boosting chances are its touching/ rubbing when boosting causing it to split.. or is there hot oil leaking onto it?
