Greddy sucks and will definately suck for the turbo he has. Foglights are overated.

There is someone on the DSMLink forums selling AMS 2g FMIC kit for 600. It includes the Flange for a Tial BOV and all the couplers. AMS is 1200 new so that is a steal. Not sure about the Foglights, but i don't think it really should matter. I thin you can keep them tho...

Link to AMS FMIC
http://www.automotosports.com/dsm_intercooler_2g.asp

Link to For Sale ad:
http://www.dsmlink.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6105

I would jump on this dan. for what you can get for that Greddy, you will come out of pocket next to nothing for one of the best 2g FMICs out there.

The HAHN fmic let you keep the fogs. It actually says in the install manual that you have to get rid of the foglights, but if you modify the install slightly, then it allows you to keep the foglights. Thats what I have with my eclipse, and remember, they use the same fmic except that it is flipped.

Hahn does make a really good FMIC. The only problem is the length of the piping and its size. It utilizes the stock location and you would have to come up with your own Upper pipes.

Jerrome, you are right, fog lights are overrated, I just dont' want my car to go tooo far out of stock looking and taking away the lights to throw this behind it




I just don't want to roll down the road having everybody know I must have something huge under the hood. I can have a small FMIC for a small turbo, but if I need an FMIC that big, everyone is going to know why... just want to be as sleeper as possible.

The Coolings capabilites is the issue with the Greddy. Bar and PLate will cool alot more efficiently then Tub and Fin all the time. He needs a bar and plate intercooler. Then add to it the long Greddy Piping.

Well I dont know much about that. I was just talking about how he said he's trying to stay "sleeper" by not wanting to go with a huge IC... I was just saying that the one he has now isn't very sleeper-like, may as well get the huge one.

Hmmm, at least where I am from, FMIC scream, HEY LOOK AT ME!!!!!!! Especially if it is not stock! All though I guess I can understand where you are coming from if the intercooler is super huge like the pic above. Maybe, I'm just guessing but the DSM crowd would think that you may have a huge turbo with a huge fmic, however, when I look at a EVO or an SRT4, I expect it, but I drool at any car with an aftermarket FMIC. You can always paint the piping to much your stock paint, or black.

Anodize or powdercoat whatever you get black. Add an IC sprayer infront for it to look exactly like the tranny coolant line (from what I remember....vaguely).

Theory: Couldn't you just drill some new holes and relocate those foglights? A few inches should give you some clearance. If your piping or massive IC is in the way, then attach foglights to front clip, install clip, and hook up wires.

There is no way to have a FMIC and look like a "sleeper". Even a smaller one sticks out like a sore thumb.
My ADFX kit is big but is short route so you could keep the foglights. The drivers side would be a tight fit but the other side is wide open. I think they even mentioned being able to keep the stock fogs in the product description on their site. I took mine out though. I'm eventually going to make a duct from the 2 holes on the passenger side to direct air through my tranny cooler which is in the stock SMIC location. I was going to do it this summer but my quad kept calling me...

Rev on them see if they want to run.

edit: here's a pic of my ADFX kit. You can see a little of the inlet pipe in the foglight spot but I think I could manuever it around to make room. I sold my foglights long ago though...

editx2: I need a new sig! I need to see what else I have around here... I like that one though. Maybe I'll shrink it a little.

I have the HRC FMIC and love it. It fits perfect with the fog lights, easy to mount, and is bar/plate. I could send you some pics with the bumper on and off, let me know.

sure dude.

Only problem with the HRC one is...I don't have a discount at HRC. I am getting the AGP FMIC for $800 with piping, BOV flange, and powdercoated.
