Hey all

I am thinking about buying a FMIC from modyourcar.com or UAS so the cost of

the new cooler is $399 for 600x300x76 (core dimensions). Will this size be to big

as i am only running stock boost and no other mods??? Would the 450x300x76

suit better???

ALSO, what is best to do with piping? Can you buy kits from somewhere? Can

anyone recommend anywhere in the Bris area that can do the piping for the right

price??? I am guessing the pipe work should be under $200 ??

Any other hints/advice would be great!!

Rob

Heard of people paying up to $1K for piping. I guess it depends on where you want to run the piping and how much you want to do yourself. You could probably go to an exhaust shop and get some pipes and then buy some silicon hoses and put it together yourself. If you choose this option, probably run the pipes along the front of the car and use then factory piping until it goes into the front area for the original intercooler. I'm in a similar situation, I have a cooler sitting in my bedroom and am trying to sort out piping. I'm considering the option I mentioned as it should be the cheapest, probably around your original figure.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
