Which mk2 has genuine VW FMIC??

Is it a non aircon G60 or something else?

Anmyone got part numbers for the IC, rad and slam panel?

 

yes it is a non-aircon G60.

you can also use a rallye one that has a bigger inlet (I believe) but you may have to mod your front panel.

sorry can't help with part nos at the mo but maybe later......if someone doesn't get there first!

please anyone feel free to correct any misinformation in the above....!

 

FMIC? Does that mean front mounted?

 

Thats the one, cheers!!!! (at first i thought it meant Forge Motorsport)

Do you have the part number for that and the bracket? (no.2 on the pic)





P.S - GTD.
Did you see my reply about the mk3 clocks in styling and trim?

 

Forget about VW ones

Super expensive

Better off buying a custom one - it'll be bigger and better and cheaper

 

see here
for vw p/n's and prices

 

I thought it meant Full Metal I/C

Click the pic for part numbers

Cheers Ian, I missed it, I'll have a look, that said its on the back burner as although I now have the clocks and sender, I havnt got the loom and I havent worked out how to fit it in the dash.

 

501!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bargain!!! Bigger isn't always better for IC's though is it, get one thats too big and it will cause more lag, is that right???

 

I got an Audi s2 FMI for mine, 50 I think? Should be good for enough air for 250bhp?

 

I know a breakers yard where theres a mondeo 16 tdi one on the floor lying around, it was quite clean whenm I saw it this afternoon, I could take picks and make enquiries.

 

Yeah, bigger isn't always better. (Oo-er-missus) More volume = More lag. Also you have to look at the design of them. I've heard that some of the Sprinter Van IC's people use on here actually don't flow very well at all.

I would personally go for a VW FMIC everytime, just because of the fact they were designed to go in a MkII in the first place. I've got a G60 FMIC - Only cost me 110. And it seems to be pretty efficient if the data log I did with VAGCOM the other day was correct.

 

Got any pics of it Seizure?

 

Yeah, not on this PC tho. Looks like a slightly smaller rallye one. Has a different inlet end though. Also think the outlet diameters on the Rallye IC are slightly larger.

I'll post a pic up later.

Cheers

 

Will a custom intercooler not do this??


Strange how people would nearly always choose to upgrade the standard intercooler(s) if they could - yet you are saying to use a standard one.....

 

A standard G60 front mount is ideal. Bedrocks 400bhp 20VT was still runiing it's original G60 IC!

I haven't seen one "custom" IC that's fits into a MkII as well as the VW one does. That's all I was getting at - the fit isn't as good.

Yeah, depends on what power you are aiming for. As G40 AL said Bedrock are running 400bhp with theirs, so there can't be much wrong with them. I know 1990 was looking at an AGU lump the other day, so chances are he wouldn't be looking for some massive IC anyway.

Anyway, on my car I was going for an OE look install, and didn't want some lairy aluminium IC peering through my grille. At the end of the day, an IC should be carefully chosen/designed based on a detailed calculations. Choice depends on the flow rate of the core and how well the end caps are designed and how well the thing was built, not just whatever you can fit in the space. I dare say there are some "custom" ICs out there that aren't as good as the VW stuff, not all, but some.

 

As promised:

IC - 1
IC - 2
Inlet
Outlet

IC and Mk2 8v Rad (50mm narrower than the G60 Rad)
