[m8ttixsti]

[evans609]

[m8ttixsti]

Update: Ordering a ewg setup in the next couple of weeks and also prob 1000cc DW or Injector Dynamic injectors. Looking at going with a front mount inter-cooler but want one that comes with a new bumper beam so I'm looking at Perrin and Full-Race inter-coolers. And also for spring ill be going with either the new turbo Precision is releasing or going with a Blouch 1.5XTR. And also going with Zerolift composite tgv deletes and getting a Dual Projector retrofit kit from Lightwerks in the next couple weeks. So it will be a busy spring I'm hoping.

Small turbo for an FMIC. IMO. Especially with your cooler northern climate.
Are you dead set on an FMIC?
You might try a bigger top mount or look into an AWIC.
I will be going AWIC within the year.

I have a bigger tmic right now. But I plan on going small turbo for now and go rotated last down the road. Also thinking of reversing the manifold and getting custom piping on the front mount and also I dont drive the car in the winter so when it comes out its still 25-28 c*

 

[Spamby]

25-28 c* ???

Haha. That's what it was for a low temperature today. Damn you've got nice weather.
My summer temps are 35-38* c with little relief at night.
Just suggesting things. A lot of guys feel they "have to" go FMIC with anything larger than stock turbo, but don't realize it's not necessary. Some points it's detrimental.
And for us southern states boys, that temperature is not even close to hot. Lol

Oh I know its not hot for you guys haha I almost dies with 25c* hahaha I understand that a upgraded top mount is good for 500hp but I bought a cheap one and I hate cheaping out and to get a good Top mount im going to pay about 1000 bucks by the time its gets to me and when I go rotated and go with a 6266 or something like that I will need a front mount so then I would have to sell my top mount and lose my shirt lol rather then just buying one now and putting up with the extra lag

Update: Back into ordering stuff for next spring again. My first purchase was a complete high beam projector retrofit kit from Lightwerks. Next will either be TGV deletes, EWG kit or Injectors.

 

[evans609]

My new lights came in Wednesday. Here is some pics of the projectors, connections, ballasts, etc..


The box it came in.

They had it packaged well.

The mini Gatling gun projector shrouds

The wiring for the lights.

 

[evans609]

The projectors

The HID and wiring connections

And the Morimoto ballasts

 

[Alin]

That had to be a pretty penny. Wow!

 

[evans609]

It wasnt bad at all actually lol cheaper then you would prob think.

 

[Alin]

It wasnt bad at all actually lol cheaper then you would prob think.

Ive seen them as most as $1800! :tard:

 

[evans609]

Nah lol thats usually if you send in your lights and get them done by the company. Like when I first wanted them I was going to send to them. For acura TSX projector for the low beam, morimoto high beam projector, blacked out housing and BMW angel eys it was like 1200+ lol

 

[Alin]

Oh my!

Well at least itll look sick!!!!
