enthusiast Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I know of two of you out there buying this setup. Who wants to get together to install these?

johnAWD Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I've got a gt30 kit (fmic/plumbing/uppipe/downpipe/intake) plus injectors & a fuel pump to install. I'd planned on doing it over a wkend to introduce my 17 yr old son to modding, but if there's going to be an install party, we may be interested in attending.

praedet Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Ted, are you selling your TMIC then? Can I call dibs? If Scott backs out, you can have it John, when are you doing yours? As I said, I am waiting for FedEx to get off their a$$ and pay me so I can get a new core. Once that happens, I think I have everything to do the install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praedet Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Yeah, I got the WBR intake. I got all of mine coated for me, as usual BUT... If I had it to do over again I might have done it myself w/ wrinkle coat... Now, Group Buy on grills for the lower section rock protection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I'm gonna wrinkle coat mine when it comes then i guess I can do an install day with you guys. My only concern is I didn't get a CAI..So I might have to drive around with half the stock airbox cocked at a funny angle with the filter zip-tied in place My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'd be interested in meeting up and helping with the install, post it up when you guys decide on a date/time. I'm trying to decide between this kit and the AVO FMIC. -Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enthusiast Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Would powder coating hurt the pipes? I am looking for a durable finish. Allen I was doing the same thing looking at both units. After reading all of the threads on both the WBR looked to be a more complete solution. One thing that made me weary of the AVO was people having problems with the fog lights.

No, in fact, it'll help insulate the pipes. I'm looking at possibly sending my pipes to Swain to get a BBE coating. $40/foot....but, according to the coater, the coating not only keeps alot of heat out, it "encourages" it to leave whatever is coated as well....in other words, kind of like kicks out the heat from the pipes. http://www.swaintech.com/store.asp?pid=10968 Yeah, I got the WBR due to its overall packaging...plus I could get it in black....I like stealth. praedet...keep us informed of any solutions you run across for the lower protection for the IC.

praedet Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I would coat the pipes in something that keeps the heat in... You don't want the heat in your engine, and the cold side should be pretty cold in the first place. Now the Core, get that coated w/ the BBE coating... I did the core in Crucial's BBE, and the pipes in their barrier coating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm most likely going to get my pipes anodized since we send out a lot of parts for that here at work. That should be very durable, but won't do anything for heat transfer like the BBE coating. Is it just the core that comes black when you select that option, or do they wrinkle paint the pipes too? Steve, I hadn't read that about the AVO and the fog problems, thanks for the heads up. -Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
