fmic help? - boarderjaymee - 03-11-2014 I may just be having a blonde moment but ive picked up a fmic (it was free) supposedly off a clio.... the connections dont come out either side, they come up at the front/back either side, is this still usable? And also does it matter which way round the fmic is? Also (another dumb moment) where exactly does it plumb into? Seen loads of guides on doing it but when i gets to the end bit they seem to just say "then plug it all in together and tighten" anybody have any pics where both ends from the fmic plumb into? Be very much greatfull lol Jamie b RE: fmic help? - Piggy - 03-11-2014 happy to help...but I think you may want to do more research before getting too deep into modifying if you dont know what parts the FMIC plumb into :S And depending on angle of the FMIC outlet/inlet I would say you may struggle to fit it yes.

RE: fmic help? - Piggy - 03-11-2014 Ok. To be blunt, doing research is to search and read and investigate and find your answer...not ask people to tell you.... But as google seems to be broken(!) lets start here: ...Do you know what FMIC stands for and what its purpose is? RE: fmic help? - boarderjaymee - 03-11-2014 (03-11-2014, 07:56 PM)Piggy Wrote: Ok. To be blunt, doing research is to search and read and investigate and find your answer...not ask people to tell you.... No need to talk to me like im a kid.... Its a front mount intercooler, its purpose is too cool down the turbo more, but adding a fmic also adds turbo lag? RE: fmic help? - Piggy - 03-11-2014 It wont cool the turbo down. RE: fmic help? - Poodle - 03-11-2014 Have a look in the guide section bud, there's at least 3 threads that will answer a lot of your questions and help you understand what needs to be done. RE: fmic help? - pro_steve - 03-11-2014 Take your bumper off, hold it at the front of the car and see if it fits. My bets are it won't if the inlet/outlet are at 90 degrees to the cooler its self. If you're lucky they'll be at the side of the rad. Lots of guides around, especially on theywhoshallnotbenamed RE: fmic help? - Poodle - 04-11-2014 Unfortunately a lot of the guide content on theywhoshallnotbenamed disappeared a couple of years ago and most of what's left you can't see without paying. fmic help? - Jtrigga - 04-11-2014 If it's a 1.5 dci intercooler it will fit perfectly that's the one I'm using.

Have you got any pics of urs fitted mate? fmic help? - Jtrigga - 12-11-2014 I haven't got any photos of it I forgot to take any. But here's one I found for you RE: fmic help? - Poodle - 12-11-2014 Thats a megane cooler, I thought the clio one is a fair bit different? RE: fmic help? - Eeyore - 12-11-2014 cold air is denser than warm air. if the air goes into the engine cooler then there is more of it and then bigger bangs happen. Its not to do with cooling the turbo. RE: fmic help? - silverzx - 12-11-2014 That photo is of an XUD and this is in the DW section? RE: fmic help? - pioneer DJ paddy - 12-11-2014 I no this is xud BT same thing any way lol the out feed from the turbo gose into the intercooler then the other side of the intercooler pipe it from the intercooler to the inlet manifold and your done just fix it up in place here is a pic of mine :-) hope this helps wecome to the form .....paddy [attachment=20062] [attachment=20065][attachment=20064][attachment=20063] RE: fmic help? - Piggy - 12-11-2014 hand painted silicone hoses....hand painted while fitted....
