G5892 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Just got my Fast Motorsports fmic installed the other day, along with a KS Tech intake. More pics to come!! Install wasn't too bad, only modifications that were needed were the trimming of the bumper, making the bumper beam holes line up correctly, and finding a place to mount the new coolant overflow tank. This kit came with a new bumper beam, and piping if you have an sti, or are using an sti style turbo. This is a high quality kit for a reasonable price. I had no problems clearing the fuel lines, and there was still space to remove the battery without taking off a pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaho8930 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 It look pretty good , do you notice any different ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5892 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Huge difference. I'm still on infamous' base map but it pulls so much harder. I also didn't notice any lag. Throttle response seems even better, but I believe thats from my tuner adjusting the requested torque parameter. So happy I decided to go this route.

G5892 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Install was about 4-5 hours. Most of the time consisted of trimming the bumper. This 4-5 hours included short breaks + lunch, and test driving to make sure no couplers popped off. At the end of the day, it was definitely worth it.

GearOnePerformance Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hm...I fitted one of the first kits, and had issues with the fuel lines and throttle body coupler. I had to re route the fuel lines and use the AVO hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to re route the fuel lines and use the AVO hose. Thats weird, mines cleared the fuel lines with no problem. However the throttle body did pop off when I first got it put on. Just needed to be tightened more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G5892 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 This make my mod itch worse.. Nice leggy! Future plans for turbo upgrade? (And supporting mods) Nope. This is the last of my power mods (mostly because of the 5EAT and $$$) , but eventually I'll look into struts and be done with the car. And Thanks!

NWSPECB Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I will re-iterate. You are not helping! Yeah eventually I hope to do a full build but for now its my DD. So when I get the funds for another car as a DD then I can start doing the fun stuff! Edit: just remembered reiterate is not hyphenated. These 19 hour days are starting to catch up..

Legacsti11 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I know what you mean about the tranny. I blew mine making a little over 300whp and got a fully built Level 10 tranny. This equals ouch to my wallet. With tax cost me over $5800. It is now a 1000 hp tranny and 750bhp to the wheels. 05 Legacsti with toys, Efi Logics Tuned, Whitey Built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
