URGENT FMIC Question!!

[S15Cro]

Hi,

When ordering a FMIC, are they engine or chassis specific?

I just ordered a Blitz FMIC from Japan to fit the S15 but i'm pooing myself that I ordered the wrong on!! :annoyed:

Basically:

Engine --> 180sx Blacktop (Non-VVT) SR20DET
Chassis --> Silvia S15 (With aero that I want cutting to a minimum)

What do I order intercooler for?

Need to know ASAP so I can change the order if needs be.

Well that's abit of an odd combination and will prob need adapting to suit. BUT It should be chasis specific!

Haha trying to do something abit more unique on a chassis thats had everything!

Iv had afew people say its engine specific so i ordered the S13 kit but we'll see when its done.

Will be chassis specific as the piping will suit the car rather than the engine

 

[S15Cro]

I thought so too but apparently the S13 chassis is more or less the same as the S14/S15 but the intake plenums are in completely different positions so the piping from the S13 kit should suit it better (might have to adjust core mountings though)

In any case, when the kit arrives i'll test fit it and if it doesn't fit atall, i will have no problem selling it with all the 180sx's in this country :thumbs:

I'm sure you will make it fit regardless mate as it won't be too far off , or as you say easy sell I would think! Not like there aren't any 13's here ha ha ha best of luck with it. It's a nice bit of kit, I have recently fitted the blitz kit to my car and I was very impressed with the quality

If you have a 180 SX engine you will need a 180SX kit. As your intake is different to a normal SR. Your throttle body will be lower and at a 45 degree angle where the SR20DET is higher and straight.

should not be to hard to make it fit.

Yeah i'm looking at the two engines side by side right now and the intake is completely different. I'll just have to see what it looks like because i will be doing a full S15 exhaust side so hopefully hotside is similar on all s-chassis

Hot side will fit, cold side won't. No idea if an S13 kit will fit S14/15.
