Hi All,

Just wondering who here or knows of anyone that is able to custom make FMIC piping in aluminium.

I own a S13 with a RB motor in it and no one makes off the shelf FMIC Kits, so I am wondering if anyone knows workshops that provide such services and at a reasonable price around Sydney.

I've been quoted $1000 by Fussy's , $800 by ST8E180 for just aluminium which I believe is pricey considering off the shelf piping kits go for $250. I thought about mating a SR20DET kit and a RB25DET kit together, but I just don't have the time to do it and chances of it not fitting properly is quite high.

If anyone is able to provide such service or recommend a workshop that will do it at a reasonable price that would be appreciated.

The reason why I am redoing my piping work is because the previous owner attempted a 'home" job and it just looks like a dead rats connected to each other and so its in mild steel and there's rust appearing.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Johnny

all sorts of custom work, piping would be too easy for em :) specialise in custom exhausts, but intercooler piping should be a breeze...

buy $250 sr cooler piping so u get the bits that get in the engine bay after that you should be able to use a few 90 and 45 bends to make it fit.

or,

take all you piping off, take it to a powder coater and get him to blast and coat it. will look like brand new and u know it already fits.

YEAH, dont for a second think that you will get someone to spend 6 hours and about 200 dollars worth of raw bends etc etc to do it for less than 700. just very time consuming.

oh and btw. ally is the easist to do it in. id offer my services but im flat out at the moment.

yesterday was the first time my whole engine bay has been together

sorry for the shit pics, wait for the magazine to come out to see better ones :P

sonny made the

plenum

fuel rail

catch can

modified the exhaust manifold

dump pipe

screamer pipe

FMIC piping

and some other little bits and peices

i gave him the specs of what i wanted

and he made it all up 100% the way i wanted it

i've heard good things about sonny too.

but either way you'll be paying more than 700+ for custom work of any kind of metal. labour aint cheap.

give westside mufflers in padstow a call. they do alot of custom piping work. i send all of my welding jobs to them.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
