Hey guys Ive had my zed for about a month now and was going to upgrade my smic's. I was wondering if anybody has any experience with these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TWIN...m14QQhashZitem170265566338QQitemZ170265566338 If so... were they any good??? Thanks for the help Will
I have similar ones in my car. But they are not the same brand. There good, i got more top-end and go well with the stock turbos. I would offer you mine but im a long way off changing over the fmic. Its also worth making some custom ducts for them. I havent but i would expect better peformance. Oh you have to modify the blinkers to get them to fit back in (you have to remove the light bulb holder as it hits). Its nothing hard i just used a few bits of wire, some washers and a drill lol.
Cool cheers mate I was considering a fmic off ebay as well, something like this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FMIC-Interco...yZ130634QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem or this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Inte...m14QQhashZitem190253086400QQitemZ190253086400 I assume that the stock front bar would need to be modified to fit these, is that correct?? Are then any good fmic that fit behind the stock bar?? CHeers
A fmic needs ALOT more work to be properly installed. You need full ducting from the fmic back to the rad, and an upgraded intercooler. You can hack the stock bar up to get good flow but it looks like crap, so you would also need an aftermarket front bar. Its a lot of work and money, you could get away with less, but there is a trade off in peformance. The inital price between fmic and smic is less, but the difference is quite large at the end. The smic is a hell of a lot easier to instal, its cheaper and still give good gains in peformance. That being said a fmic does suffer a lot less from heatsoak and a front bar looks cool.
