Hi all,
Been looking at fmics for my LCR BAM 225 as I'm planning to go straight to stage 2 once all this lockdown business is over. Being high mileage (150k+) and not wanting to ditch out a fortune, my end goals for this car are in the region of 280-300 bhp.
I've seen a couple Airtec FMICs come up for around the £300-350 mark. I've estimated the Toyosports 600x300x76 'Wellycooler' setup with Creation Motorsport pipework to come to about £225-250 ish.
The easy fitment without the need to trim crash bar/bumper is a major point in favour of Airtec, however, some of them up for sale look a bit rough and have been used on cars for 3 yrs or so. Would this have any effect or potentially cause any problems down the line?
Also, I'm not fully aware of how the MAP sensor works with the new pipework. Ideally, I'd want to get new silicone upper boost hoses but isn't the MAP sensor positioned in the original upper hose on the passenger side? So does the MAP sensor need to be relocated and welded in or something?
Sorry if I've asked silly questions I'm new to all this, v grateful for this forum though I've learnt a lot already. I appreciate any help, thanks!
