evolution racewerks FMIC. a review and a LOT OF PICS
i just got my evo racewerks fmic in 2 days ago. fred and the crew worked on my car til 2:30am to get my car out to me. i took it out for a quick run and IMMEDIATELY felt a HUGE difference. the car was pulling harder and longer through all gears. there is no percievable heatsoak after repeat runs, even in the 100+ socal heat.
i will be logging some hard data with a friend when i get a chance to get off work.
this kit comes with EVERYTHING needed, including a upgraded PS steering cooler, custom rebar, all brackets to fit everything just like OEM, smog pump relocation bracket, everything hard piped...
also, with both the OEM or ultrasport bumper, you GET TO KEEP THE FOGS. thats a huge perk for me because i love the look of foglights.
the quality of the kit is amazing...here are some pics that they took during the process
inside of the IC end tanks are ported for flow

relocated smog pump, the bracket COMES WITH THE KIT

FMIC and power steering cooler installed

Turbo to intercooler pipe. All piping are beaded at the ends sto prevent them from coming off under boost. Edges at the end of the pipe are all sanded and chamfered inside and out to prevent getting cut when handling them (we don't like getting tetanus shots)

Rebar retaining the stock rebar shocks. 1.5" 0.95 wall DOM tubing (same used in our SCCA spec roll cages). Mounting plates are dimpled for added strength (like our roll cages). Mounting brackets on rebar for the horns like OE.

Aluminum piping from intercooler to throttle body. Silicone hump hose and T-bolt clamps.

Everything installed. Bumper off.

and finally....the FMIC with everything back together, WITH FOGS

seriously this piece is incredible. if you want to check it out in person, let me know. my main performance mods are GIAC + injectors and this FMIC. I LOVE IT.
