What FMIC for Newage STI???


Recommended Posts

APS DR725 fmic.

Seems to allow the power to run through the car without any or much heat soak.

Bumper needs cut.

Jubilee clips are gash for £1000 worth of kit and twice now in a month the hardpipes have come apart between 1.4 and 1.6 bar of boost and the cars died by the roadside.

Great fmic but needs the special WRC style jubilee clips put onto it to stop it dying whenever it gets rammed with some serious pressure.

I got my front mount kit made up by a couple of guys in Edinburgh that are well in the know how with Impreza's!

To be honest, the secret lies within the core, if you can get a decent core then the pipe work is the easy part, just try and have as little breaks in the pipework.

I can ask them for a quote, they will always offer help/ advice to fellow subaru owners.

There is two routes to go down when buying a FMIC kit, firstly spend stacks of money on a well know brand ie. HKS, Greddy, Perrin, APS, Blitz...Etc or you get someone to source you a decent core and get them to do the piping. I did the second option and to be honest this is more efficient in terms of cost and there ain't any difference is performance that is noticable to the trained eye.

All the best, oh and i guess you will be arranging a reMAP prior to driving about with it fitted!

i say the hyperflow monster kit, bigger is better[:D]

Thats not exactly true, in theory they can get to big for your performance and "laggy" some times. The aim is getting one thicker and piped into in the form TEBE (Top Entry, Bottom Exit) so that the most amount of core is used.

Try aiming for about 75-100mm thick, mine is 75mm but the last one i seen was 100mm and a serious piece of kit.
