Have done one FMIC on cheffstageas series 2 over the last 12 hours (probably took about 5ish).... A fair while but we were happy with it as its out first ever FMIC install. Personally I think we took a bit to much of a "cut and shut" approach as Adam (chefstagea) currently has no washer bottle as it was in the way and he decided to cut the sucker out... still in one piece though so we shall relocate it soon :( After driving with the FMIC installed the car feels more responsive and the induction noise has increased :domokun:

To the point:

Can those that have done a FMIC install please post up photos or share links to their piping from plenum to the driver side end tank on the intercooler.

I'm aware that I will probably be cutting a hole in the vertical under the battery but I believe the washerbottle may also get in the way so Id like some photos to see how pople have positioned bends to dodge the washer bottle.

As for the passenger side thats easy.... 1 pipe from end tank to standard side mount pipes and it all done.

PS I have looked at the Intercooler thread and its pics but I cant see whats going on where the washer bottle is.

Thanks in advance,

chris

Chris, sorry mate, but we don't need three new threads about intercooler installs, and we already have an old thread (please do a search) with a whole bunch of users posting pictures of various FMIC and DMIC installs in Stageas.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Both of those things are on my to do but not quite in a position to do that just yet until I can at least get it running back to stock. Going to work on getting the exhaust manifold gasket and studs replaced first, an obvious need it now. Then I'll try out the new maf and see hownthat does. After that I'm thinking cas if I'm still having the same issues. Still need to run the fuel out and refuel I'll change the fuel filter tomorrow along with cleaning the iacv with carb cleaner. If all else fails I'm going to get a serial port and see if I can get some sort of data on what the ecu is seeing when the issue is happening but really hoping one of the methods above work out first. After I get a good base I'm going link but have to save for that so it'll be a while for that based on my tuners suggestions. Definitely need the exhaust leak fixed first though car has always fallen flat after about 4-4500 rpm since I've had it and suspecting that's the issue. Then I can move forward with the rest.

      Rebuild vs second hand NEO?

      My vote is rebuild s2 engine or maybe get a neo (but expect you may need to rebuild that too). Doing an engine conversion you would have to be a true tragic nowadays and actively be aware there's better/smarter options for value.

      Or buy one someone built earlier! (realistically V8 mustangs or MKV supras are great). I see people nowadays putting ZF8's into MK4's, and people putting 370z gearboxes, diffs, axles into R and S chassis and it's like.... just get a 370z at that point and mildly boost the 3.7 instead of the 2L and away we go...

      If you're going to go v8 or really any swap now with all the tax, I'd most likely just get rid of the car and start with something else. Unfortunately, I have a mate with a surplus of ls and Ferrari/Maserati v8's that's always tempting me FFS lol.

      If you can get a clean, tested neo from Japan for $3500 these days, it's probably worth getting either way, hard not to be skeptical at that price. Otherwise probably rebuild the s2.
