What FMIC can i put on the mk3 1.9 tdi ?? anyone got ideas
-
Have you got air con?
-
god knows....just picked the car up the other day.....will have a look into it :)
-
Yes it does have air con
-
In that case, an uprated SMIC with a cold air feed would be easier.
Forge do some sexy ones.
-
i am completely lost with this lol.....forge website be any help??
-
The compressor for your air con sits right where you want your FMIC to be... Unless you get a short FMIC there won't be any room.
The SMIC is underneath the battery and is quite diddy and old fashioned... So you'd want a slightly bigger one from www.forgemotorsport.com as well as a lower bumper vent from FK and a bit of tubing to direct cold air onto the intercooler.
May be worth looking at induction and exhaust if you're looking for a bit more, but you won't get a lot until you chip it and change to bigger injectors.
-
yeah ill be looking at some forced induction, not sure about the zhaust system yet....then looking into doing the injectors as you recommended with the map
-
pff whats the different with aircon or with out :)
oh yeah there is one uve got less room to do it but everything can be done ;) ive had one on mine
forgemotorsport ? hahahaha ull pay more then the car is worth

Forge ones will cost more than you paid for your car
Side mount is crap, you want one like in the pics above, although that one has had loads of the bumper removed which you dont need to
here is mine on my GTI with S3 engine
I used a the twin rad fans off a car which had aircon and the aircon was put in the bin
you have to trim bumper in a few places and also the Rad housing

Size works really well for me, although i have more than double your power. You dont wanna go too big or you will have a sh!t load of lag..

-
F17BAD if uve got AC rad u need to cut bumper and bumper support
if no as it ur it can be fitted without cuttin it of :)
-
nice one :) ill have a gender

i didnt want aircon, you have to cut the bumper with or without aircon tho :smiley:
-
i wouldnt even know what intercooler to get....looked on Forge and they dont have anything for a Mk3 ? any help
-
Universal ones are fine,
Once you measure the gap you've got to fill, check forge for a close match and then give it an eBay search so you can get something similar on the cheap. :wink:
-
I have a universal think its the same as kells', though instead of cutting the bumper I cut the fan mounting so I could move the whole rad and fan setup back an inch or so.
You can also use this method to fit an fmic with the AC compressor and not have to cut the bumper, but it requires a lot of cutting of other parts.
tshirt2k has pics of how he did it in his build thread on clubgti, he has an ABF turbo running AC :)
