anyone with a aftermarket FMIC on their m35 ...what was the dimensions you used without having to butcher the front bar to buggery?

and was that a relatively easy fit?

Doesnt need to be huge. infact id rather it quite thin but long. Anything has to be better than the standard one on there.

any feedback on dimensions would be great so i know what to buy before tearing the front bar off.

cheers

Mine has a 600 x 220 core now I modified it, bolts under the bar, just.

Most of the guys run a standard 600 x 300 but you have to remove the thermo fan and replace it with a thinner one, core sits behind the bar.

I used to run a 450 x 300 which fit beside the thermo fan motor but it wasnt ideal.

There is enough width to run maybe 800mm if you really wanted but you are stuck with standard core sizing usually.

yeah i was thinking something along the lines of this.

but its a bit short.

you reckon its feasible?

or should i go something longer and thinner?

Best cooler will be a 600 x 300 x 76 and a thinner fan, The HDI kit would be the go if you have the coin. All the piping is plastic and will need to be changed so factor that in.

Do you have a power goal? Mine keeps raising... ;)

I've got the HDI FMIC kit....no complaint's and easy to install yourself....big improvement over the standard one especially in summer.

If you want one that will fit nicely under the reo, maybe look at this Trust unit?

Is looking more and more like the way I go and get some 1-piece mandrel bent inlet and outlet piping done locally.... will have to make up your own brackets though

But then again, I am not going for 300awkw

hrm i can afford the HDI kit... is anyone still supplying them.. i saw danny or someone in another thread was making up kits or am i mistaken?

You'll have to contact Josh (I think?) at http://www.hybrid-power.com/index.php]HDi

Hey mate,

For a little variety I went the Blitz CS FMIC kit for the M35 from Just Jap. Cheaper than the HDi unit also (last time I checked). It was $999 + around $50 postage to the Gold Coast. If you would like to see it/drive it, come on down.

Blitz FMIC

Core Size - 620 x 266 x 76mm. Only the reo bar had to be cut back a tiny bit. Could not be happier though.

Cheers

PS: Glad theres more M35s in Qld now.

You cut back the alloy reo? How is the air going to flow to that part of the cooler? Maybe you should have put a thinner fan on instead.

I had just replaced the fan with a new OEM one so I was not going to do that again. Plus, it was my Mechanic who did it without telling me prior to him installing it. Sucks to be me.

hmm... Hdi's kit should set you back around the $800 mark. Can't remember if that included shipping or not though.

Also, the HD' GT2 core is significantly more efficient than the Blitz unit

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
