Definitive FMIC pipes needed - cwspellowe - 25-04-2012

Right, been searching for AGES and not found any definite answers to this.

What pipes are needed for a FMIC install on an XUD? I'm using the Berlingo manifold, similar to the Xantia/406 one. The inlet pipe is simple enough and I know how i'm routing that, but i'm stuck with the turbo-FMIC routing. I know how i'm doing the front end of the install, but what pipes do people squeeze round the manifold to get to the front of the engine? There's feck all space, the T2 seems to point AT the manifold and space is a little tight.

Suggestions?

personally ive used 2.25" for mine, using the standard turbo to tmic pipe but instead of there being a tmic i have a 51-57mm 90degree adapter iirc then another 90to get down by fuel pump and under the expantion tank then a lil 90 to sqeeze between the radiator, i dont know what car its off but its an oem pipe, could get a pic if needed


Re: Definitive FMIC pipes needed - cwspellowe - 25-04-2012

Please mate, just want to know the pipe from turbo to top of the engine


Re: Definitive FMIC pipes needed - strictly_perv - 25-04-2012

If it's any use to you I have a 90deg Samco hose adaptor for the pipe from the turbo to IC. Think it goes up to 2" PM if it's any use to you.


Re: Definitive FMIC pipes needed - cwspellowe - 25-04-2012

What size is the T2 outlet? FMIC i'm using is 2.25"


Re: Definitive FMIC pipes needed - 4WayDiablo - 25-04-2012

Iirc its 2" (51mm)

I'm not sure if there is A definitive list for these things! I took the easy option and bought a setup from a fellow member, not a clue where the bits came off but he reckoned there were at least 4 different cars that it all came out of!


Re: Definitive FMIC pipes needed - silverzx - 28-04-2012

As already said, you can use the standard turbo-TMIC pipe to route from turbo to the top of the bay.

As for the rest get looking in peoples project threads. Smile

lol
Turbo to intercooler;
-standard 306 pipe
-renault laguna hard aluminium pipe
-renault laguna silicone 70degree pipe
-renault laguna hard aluminium 80degree bend
-hydraulic hose

Megane intercooler

Intercooler to inlet manifold;
-bmw 320d rubber pipe
-bmw aluminium pipe
-golf mk4 rubber joiner
-406 hard plastic pipe
-406 rubber joiner to 406 manifold

A lot of headscratching and extra pipes went into that setup Big Grin

....And now there'l be even more head scratching to get it to fit the ph 1 radiator!


Re: Definitive FMIC pipes needed - Pompey306mark - 29-04-2012

Standard pipe is good enough. I am using an aftermarket 90 degree extended pipe as I had one lying around. I have a pipe hosing and things in the garage actually

Cheers lol. Main thing I'm looking for atm is slimline fans, don't really want to run without. Do I need 1 or 2 and what size?


Re: Definitive FMIC pipes needed - anto - 30-04-2012

1 will be fine.
Mine rarely came on.


Re: Definitive FMIC pipes needed - Harky - 30-04-2012

Cheers, think i've found one in belfast so hopefully might get started mounting stuff next week!


Re: Definitive FMIC pipes needed - cwspellowe - 30-04-2012

I'm just going for one 12" fan wired to a switch in the dash. Apparently these engines don't get too hot normally.


Re: Definitive FMIC pipes needed - Harky - 30-04-2012

Yea I couldn't tell you the last time mine came on...but I don't know if they work so tend to hit heaters on when i gets to 90, would rather just hit fans!
