Pics Of R34 Engine Bay With Fmic Installed

[mxtcy]

Hey guys and girls

Just wondering if anyone has pics of their, or anyone elses R34 Gtt's engine bay with FMIC cooler pipes installed. I'm getting mine done next week and i'm just wondering about the stock air box and air intake pipe. I am guesing they are no longer usable due to the pipes being too big and thus the air intake pipe being unsuable, which in turn stops the airbox getting an air feed. So i am thinking i will have to go for a pod with a head sheild or something, but thought perhaps someone had found a way to use the stock air box.

I'm after pics of either of these set ups, FMIC pipes and still using the airbox (and perhaps the air feed), or with a pod filter set up (with a heat sheild/box, or however you have done it).

My cooler returns to the stock pipes. I know many of the Jap brands do this with their kits. Various pics available in the link in my sig.

Yes mine is going to return the stock route, but i wont be using the stock piping. I will be having some stronger thicker piping made up using mild steel. This will be the same size as the Jap kits which also come back the stock route, and i've noticed that the air box etc isn't used when these kits are.

you sure? its usually the hybrids that dont allow you to use the stock snorkel, and because of that people usually ditch the stock airbox and make a CAI using the hole freed up under the airbox.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

From what i've read it's true. HPI did a write up on it aswell and had the same issue

So what brands of intercooler allows us to use the stock piping?

Choyda u wish to clarify on that please?

arc kits

there may be others, but those are the 2 i know of.

there's 2 types of kits

Turn Flow = pipe goes through the battery tray

Cross Flow = using stock pipe position

In this pic you can see the R33 and R34 kits go behind/under the cooler to return to the stock piping, and not come up through a hole in the battery tray area and over the fan blades

here is a pic of mine, with the ugly pipes...... im going to get a greddy plenum to do away with the pipes over the engine...i hate them...

[mxtcy]

I'm going to just get pipes custom made up from the cooler that return and use the stock cooler pipes. An easy solution as i really don't want them running over the top of the engine.
