the custom map sensor bracket thread..

[flashbsd]

I'm going to create a couple for me and my mates, would anybody else want any doing?

especially those witht the laguna fmic conversions, it will get rid of the small plastic part in the passenger wheel arch and be a full 63mm with map sensor and I'm creating threads for mist jets.

the pipe will then not go through the current route but under and up with a 135 degree bend sfs hose.

will be made out of aluminum and can do about 5 extras?

once I've got one handy ill post pics

what your getting 42DD to weld it into a pipë etc? I was just offering if anybody wants some premade. with nozzles for aquamist

 

[claudefrog]

ahh.. thats ok, just saying incase it was going to cost a lot more to make.

I ordered a steel one, as the rest of my pipes are stainless... and a bit of titanium thrown in for goodluck ( cheers Karl.W )

this is my fmic installation mid install... just waiting on the MAP sensor flange now to complete.

i still have the core mounted, but running with the std cooler at the minute.

looks to me that its sitting abit low, mine was like that last night and i couldn't get the bumper on correctly. i'm making a bracket tonight when i get in to lift it up properly.

 

[flashbsd]

is sitting a bit low, ive got mine 2cm above the bumper bracket.

Nice one mate, didnt know u were doing the conversion also

I ran on SMIC for a few weeks until i perfected its location etc and perfected the pipework, omg i remember being at brands hatch and getting 70oC intake temps in the traffic queue with SMIC and no air feed to it! was funny!

well.. the bumper is currently attached, even got the std mest to fit back in the bumper again, and there are no clearance issues.

best bit is i have the core mounted, so dont need to take the bumper off to remove the std smic, or to fit my new pipework, which is all complete apart from the sensor flange.. should be with me in a few days.. thanks to DHL.

joys of working for an american company and having an internal postal system


will get some pics up to show the fmic.. painted in stealth black, fitting behind the bumper no problems and also with the mesh still there

 

[claudefrog]

yea.. might aswell give it a shot.. wont cost that much more than £150 all in... so if it works better than the smic I will be laughing

cheers for the guide BTW.. very helpful for cutting references etc
