FMIC?

manari06 · 01-10-2012, 01:19 PM

Does anyone know of an aftermarket FMIC that doesn't require any cutting? Plug and Play for the E92 335I!!!!!!

vzehler · 01-10-2012, 01:23 PM

I stand corrected im wrong but I believe Stett and evolution racewerks are both direct fit with very little to no trimming.

Did you search?

ETS is a very popular option that requires no cutting.

You need to cut for ER's intercooler. It's about a 1 inch x 14 inch peice of plastic. I removed the bumper "fins" as well for a cleaner look (and also to fit the carbon fiber shroud for the IC).

Our intercooler is a direct bolt on. I believe A/R Design has them in stock. If not, we will have more in stock and ready to ship at the end of the month. Our intercooler is a direct bolt on with no cutting required.

It's more then enough to support anything the stock twins can throw at it. It's also priced very reasonable and comes with an upgraded lower charge pipe and removes the restrictive factory pipe that bottle necks down to 2.0" we have also seen a couple posts recently where the factory connections have been leaking, we use a tube style connection that won't leak under boost. We have tested this setup to over 55psi on our race cars

Thanks!

Michael

I have the 7" ETS FMIC and its amazing. You have to trim a shit load but its worth it especially if planning on upgrading the turbos.

Excellent quality and craftsmanship.

It's really no more trimming than any other FMIC that requires trimming

Its a great intercooler but there is a ton of cutting to the shroud.

If you can make the HPF FMIC fit without cutting anything then you're a wizard. I sure couldn't...

Their video AND instruction manual clearly state that CUTTING IS REQUIRED.

I can't comment on ETS as I have no experience but Forge build quality is up there with the best. The fitment of their kits are spot on, no modification required & I've used a few. As I understand it though, ETS are just as good and cheaper too

Wow! 30 minutes? It took me about that long to get the factory plumbing from the charge pipe to the intercooler removed. I love my ETS 5" but unless you're an above average mechanic plan on a couple of hours if you don't have a lift.
