well ive done many searchs but still couldnt find any easy options for my problem: (saw a pic of a melted snorkel, but dont want to go down that road..if i dont have to )

getting a FMIC put on by a workshop tomorrow, and (being in VIC) still want to keep it all legal by having my stock airbox. now the actual box itself imsure will fit no probs. its just the induction snorkel that i can clearly see being an issue. is there anything out there on the market (adaptor or something..dont want to pay like 200 bucks for some custom induction box)???? any easy DIY jobs to make it fit or fix?? anyone done anything with plastic tubing??

at the end of the day i would rather have a FMIC than a Pod

any pics would be great

cheers

i went to purple pig in sunshine and bought a length of tubing with wire coiled through it... i feed this out of the mouth of the air box, through the hole from the old smic and then to a vent in the front bar... i have no pics butit works quite well and the tubing only cost $12 from memory...

yeah thats what i was considering doing.. bunnings or something. im guessing i would get more ventalation going to a spot in the front bar than getting a smaller length and positioning it where the original induction is.

main concern is that i dont want it looking shitty (ie; cops pulls me over and goes.."what the hell is that"), and want to be effective..

anyone with pics of any DIY jobs.? also roughly how much are these kits??? where from??

thanks guys

yeah i definetly dont want to waste hundreds on a special see through box for pod filters.. rather utilise the stock box and have a panel filter, but just make a modified snorkel/induction (whatever you like to call it)

i brought some induction pipe but it doesnt have any room or place to go.. (stock cooler in) so tomorrow after i get the FMIC, i think, (correct me if im wrong) i will have a spare hole on the right hand side where i can feed a plastic induction tube down there and vent it to an opening on the front bar, then the other end connected to the mouth of the airbox. as EVIL i think was talking about. anyhoo.. ill post up pics of both installs tomorrow.

cheers for your help.

still open to anyother way or suggestions...

yeah not too sure.. assume its classifield as modded but im still retaining the stock airbox. just adding some plastic extension. i mean i guess if a cop wanted to he could say that the KnN panel filter is "not standard" too.. but i dunno. main point im getting at; is i didnt want a pod, and prefered to keep the stock airbox and run a FMIC in the "legalest" possible way

got the FMIC put on today, the guys at protek did an awesome job in such a short time. minimal cutting and no masacaring the bar at all (hidden very well). will get slim lines though.. atm., the pods sitting right over the remaining stock hole from where the stock intercooler was. pics arnt great, stock airbox is going back on once i divise a mouth for it.

cheers

Nice man, that looks clean as. I reckon if you relocate the number plate and cut that middle piece of plastic out the cooler will be nicely framed in the front bar. As for the airbox, some black tubing sounds like the way to go, straight down from the orginal piping hole then bent towards the front so it sits next to the new cooler piping.

yeah asked them if they could do it, and they said they could however it would leave holes and they said i would have to get it fiber glassed then re paint. ha more money that i dont have.. ill be at your house saturday and we'll do a home job.

also found that boost went from 9psi to 12psi...... so im guessing im getting airflow

Your boost shouldn't increase from a FMIC install.

throught the cooler, but not the bumper was his point.

if you cut that middle section out wont that mean you have to cut the reo? I think it runs behind that piece of plastic.

I have been wanting to cut mine out as i have the same bar but dont want to void my insurance by cutting out structural metal would be good for flow!

agreed!

i pretty sure your on the money there mate!

i havent done it yet, but by the looks of it you would have to cut the reo bar as well if u do decide to cut the plastic part.

in my opinion dont cut it! i know it does defeat the purpose of having a fmic but dont give the insurance company any reason to void ur insurance..

my two cents!

cheers

Your boost shouldn't increase from a FMIC install.

really??? before it was at full boost id get 9 (cold night it would hit 10), drove it today and full boost was at 11 to 12..

also mates psi went up after he got his front mount put on..

looks of it you would have to cut the reo bar as well if u do decide to cut the plastic part.

in my opinion dont cut it!

yeah i think im going to leave it. maybe a possible new bar in the future.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
