I asked the seller about this when I was considering this kit and there isn't a BOV flange. IIRC there is a 3/4"-1" nipple off the charge pipe for connecting a hose to the BOV.

It seems like the GC specific kits usually have a 12" tall core but the average GD kit has a 9-10" core. Can you mount the core higher in a GC? Or do they just hang lower?
Do most people get an RS style bumper when they do a FMIC on a GC? Last edited by dankster; 12-02-2009 at 02:20 AM. |

big issue that hasn't been mentioned here
the 93-95ish have a different manifold and the throttle bodys is 2-3 inches further back in the chassis .. so most of the IC kits don't fit (i know the hard way) |

^ Only part that doesn't fit is it the pipe going to the tb being to short or is there something else i should know ? becouse i swapped out my stock ej20g for a ej20k but kept the 20g intake.

Ended up ordering one! ill let you know how it fits when i take my car back out next summer, if the pipe isn't long enough to go to throttle body its fine i have some long silicone hose to put there! or if something needs to be moved ill have to tig up a storm.
Thanks everyone for the help! Edit: didn't end up going with the m-spec .. contacted him with some question and he didn't seem to know what he was selling so meh Last edited by dr3w; 12-02-2009 at 07:17 PM. |

that one is a bit expensive
i used the CX racing oone for 264 on ebay hotside fits perfectly coldside, you basically need to trim the 2 pieces into 5 as well as bead and shorten the one that goes into the TB...but its cheap and is solid |

^ Ya i was going to go with the cx but they wanted 165usd to ship it to quebec :P, so i went with the one in the photo below.
They have photos of it fitted with the fogs, and it was cheap and i have no issues fixing up fitment issues if there are some since i have acces to a TIG / MIG with a spool gun. |

oh ok perfect then
on mine, the coldside was put together at the wrong angles, so i had to cut them at those points and reweld them. |

did you bead roll the the pipes ..
no beads = max slippage .. = dead on side of the road |

^ Oh little tip to those who are looking for a bead roll replacement. Just grab a pair of vicegrips and bend out the ends of the pipes and spray the rubber couplings with hair spray.
In 5 years of running boosted cars i have never ever had one coupler pop off. |

I'm a fan of the reverse tube set up, instead of the charge pipe making a 180 & going out the pass side fender , I used a silicone elbow & had it flow around the d/s of the engine & return on the pass side. The kit does not fit w/ out some mods , I had to hack the inside of the fender ,cut & splice some misc pipes I had laying around .I'll post up some pics .But @ least I am still using my fogs . Oh I also have a swapped Gc w/ a wrx manifold |
