3" FMIC - Eeyore - 06-10-2013
Ok people. Ive just picked up a brand new twin pass FMIC and box of piping including mikalor clamps, pipes and bend for £125. Didnt really care about the piping as I wanted the cooler. Turns out its all 3". So... Do I use the 3 inch stuff seeing as I already have enough clamps and joins now. Or should i sell it all on and get 2.25" like everyone else.
If I was to use the 3" stuff how could i get it around the rad? Would it be bad to reduce it to 2.25" and then back to 3"? Ive got crash damage already on the passenger chassis leg so I dont mind chopping it all up to get it through! Should fit everywhere else i think.

You'll get alit of extra lag with 3" pipes. Overkill IMO.
The 205 pulled 190bhp with 2" pipes
RE: 3" FMIC - Eeyore - 06-10-2013
Just now ive got like £50 quids worth of bends, camps and clamps. All i need is a few straights and reducers D:

Lol!
Um yeah, slight overkill, not sure you'll get it to fit even if you do hack the shit out of your bodywork. Tbh i don't know why anyone just doing stage 2 doesn't stick with 2", it's plenty big enough.
RE: 3" FMIC - Eeyore - 06-10-2013
its not that big... okay yeh its pretty big.
RE: 3" FMIC - Piggy - 07-10-2013
3" is like 500bhp territory!
RE: 3" FMIC - Eeyore - 07-10-2013
sounds like a challenge!
RE: 3" FMIC - Eeyore - 07-10-2013
Here are all the bits ive got. Its a 3" kit for a nissan. I got everything in the pics for £125. The receipt for the pipework from ASH is £70. Just tried placing some of the piping in the engine bay and its a bit large. Doesnt fit between the leg and the rad at all really! Do people agree the best thing to do is sell it on and buy 2.25" piping?

Looks same intercooler as I've got, its stupidly big.
Had a few thoughts about sending it back actually, but manned up and got it on becauseracecar
I'm almost certain it increased lag / emp on my setup, but if anythings going to cool your charge, this will be it - world of difference, my inlet mani is cool to the touch
I've gone for 3 > 2.25 reducing 90 elbows off the fmic, then past side of rad
3inch is pain, takes up too much room in the engine bay
RE: 3" FMIC - Dum-Dum - 07-10-2013
3" is huge and wont fit anywhere. I have long been tempted to make up a custom lower bar for mounting the rad on for custom pipe work.
Out of interest is it stainless or ally
RE: 3" FMIC - Eeyore - 07-10-2013
pretty sure its ally.
RE: 3" FMIC - silverzx - 07-10-2013
Thats big but definitely usable. Just sack off the 3" pipe (send it my way for the 200SX) and get some 2 or 2.25" piping!
RE: 3" FMIC - Dum-Dum - 07-10-2013
Mate if you are interested in selling the 3" bits I could be interested in buying
