That cooler is £66 from direct from Toyosport, and you could buy the pipework for less than the remaining £273

http://www.toyosports.co.uk/fmic-ffront-mount-turbo-intercooler-type-r-550x225x64mm-6699-955-p.asp

It is a good unit though, i use it.

Just cause you use it doesn't make it good, only joking I am using the same intercooler as you Robbie and find it very good

Did you guys buy the parts induvidually? If so, do you know what additional pipework is required (For a 2005 LCR)?

Wrong, thats a 60 mm core on the tx site its the 90mm core you need

 

[rsmith]

They are identical IC's listed on the toyo site and the Ebay side, 550x225x64 with 57 inlet/outlet!!!! care to explain you answer Sam?

Sorry robbie i made a mistake. I was getting confused with the tx autosport kit
I have been watching your readers ride the last few months, fantastic work and patience with the hybrid. Well done

I'm probably the 100th person to ask - can you mount the FMIC without losing your foglamps?

LOL, thanks, patience is a virtue i guess.

Yes you can keep you fogs if you route the pipework correctly, i am not sure about the Forge kit but i defo have my fogs working with the toyo FMIC>

What additional pipework is needed for this front mount and where would you recommend buying it from?

Any help would be much appreciated!

I have a toyosports one, I bought it with the intention of going stage 2 but I can't afford that just yet.
So how about you buy mine for £150,
It was on another car for a year or so (I think) and he had it running at 300BHP.

Its been sat in my garage since I picked it up.
£150 and you'd need to pick it up

Tempted...only a 20min drive...got any pics?

 

[CJRamze]

I'm afraid I don't (At the moment)
I took it to my parents, Put it in their garage and never went back to it.
Like I said its quite dirty, could do with a clean, was probably on the previous LCR for 1-2 Years.

If I can get to my parents in the coming days I'll take some photos for you.
Oh and it has a forge (I think) MAP Pipe aswell, their normally about £30

Edit.
I'm only selling because the mrs Arosa just raped my credit card!

PM me for more information, otherwise the mods will bring down their banhammer on me for selling on the forums.

Does anybody know where you can get the additional pipe work and hoses from? Including the 2 upper hoses for both sides?

 

[sambryant]

id say your best bet is buying a universal intercooler pipe work kit from ebay or go custom. the pipe work on a lcr is pretty easy but the lc is a bit harder.
if it is a lc then ebay and toyo do a proper hose kit that will fit and its cheap.

 

[Gulfstream]

If youre below 300bhp just get the ebay core. TX Autosport has a good one. If you get a too large core on the K04 turbo youll just end up with unwanted lag.

 

[sambryant]

Im using the tx autosport kit and i find it to be very good. No problems with mine and running stage 2.

Is it just a universal 57mm DIY piping kit i would need off ebay for an LCR?
