Looks good man. Where did u get the IC from? Ebay? The quality does look pretty good.

I need to route the pipe from my compressor downward like you.

thats the kit i got, it says s13 s14 s15 etc, but its just a universal kit. i had to cut and weld a few pieces. i just cut one u tube in half and spun one half around, this was PERFECT for the tube coming from the turbo outlet.

got everything together and running today, the turbo spools a lot quicker, and it just looks fuckin MEAN.
too dark out now, i'll get a front shot tomorrow.

yup, i had to finesse the pinch point in with a hammer a lil bit, but this was just to give me clearance in case the IC flexed for some reason, i wouldnt bend any fins. a 4" could easily fit w/o modification to the bumper beam, but the coolant res would have to move.

Yeah, I had to move mine. It's cool though, the smaller size battery I'm using, gives me just enough space to sit it beside it. You can just glimpse it in my build thread video.

 

[89supraa]

ok cool.When you cut the grill out of the bumper what did you use to patch up the cutouts? Looks way better cut out.

 

[kotu100]

i didnt, you just can't see it in the pic cuz of the shadows.

 

[TuRbOdReAmZ87]

Looks badass man. At least one supra owner is making progress haha

 

[supisarethebest]

have u had a noticeable increase in anything since u put the fmic in

 

[kotu100]

thanks for the nice comments guys!

i've noticed that the intake side of the IC stays COLD, and got about 500rpm faster boost.

got my tial wastegate in yesterday, gonna try bolting it up today, i might have to order an adaptor flange for it though.

oh n im gettin tint this week too. 20% in the back, 5% for the corner windows, and 35% on the fronts.

 

[All-Trac]

very nice i love your color. question about the tint though. why dont you go 5% on the back to match the corners? wont it look a little odd with 3 different tint %'s on it?

im goin wit 35 on the front wondows because thats legal limit, and i dont wanna give cops a reason to pull me over. as for the back window, i was gonna go wit 5% but i like bein able to see behind me at nite lol.

alright thats a good reason. i removed the tint from ym windows for that very same reason so i understand about the seeing at night.

[kotu100]

Who's doing the tint?
