Fast help -- Racetec IC install

[starfriend]

Hi, im in the garage atm trying to install my FMIC racetec, but im kind of wondering.. did i get the right piping!? Its three parts, one long that MUST be on the driver side, due to the fact that the sensor is on. And then i got two more for the passanger side but i cannot for the life of me figure out how to use them, and what silicone hose where.. anyone can please try to explain or pics would be great! all the one i can find on racetec and a4mods is only two pipes.

sorry if this post was a mess!

u got the ight ones.. they used to be jus 2 peices but fitment i think was a lil hard... so they made the passenger side 2 seperate peices... u hgafta play with them..thats the only pain in the ass part..took us a lil while to figure it out n get it right

^^^Correct

The shorter pipe comes off the intercooler, and the longer,more twisted one goes up to the turbo. The 1" pipe coming off then goes to the DV with the piece of hose you should have got with the kit

[martini]

they essentially took the pipe and cut it at this green line




from underneath it would look something like this when installed



i believe you would use that right angle silicone hose where the pipe was separated

why do you have an N75 line off the charge pipe?

[7speed]

yah thats wierd

[martini]

why do you have an N75 line off the charge pipe?

you mean as opposed to off the turbo?

GT28RS doesn't have a spot for it like the other turbos... so you have to either tap the turbo or put it off the charge pipe

My gt28rs came with a "L" fitting for the n75 line. The fitting threaded right by the edge of the outlet on the turbo.

my GTRS turbo comes with a nip on the end for the N75 i guess, still.. we made it work one way, but that caused the outlet for the DV to be right under the SAI, facing to the wheels, if you understand... Very far from where it really should be... thats the only way we could possible get it to work.. :-( but it shoundt matter right? i could just get a new hose and run it from the IC pipe to the dv. Allthought ill prolly be a like tree times as big as the original;-) Also, i've seen a few guys on the forum who have "cleaned" up the intake part as far as all these connectors.. Is there anything that really can be removed? God its soooooooo little room in there when you have a gtrs and a neuspeed tip ;)

it shouldnt be like that... take a picture and post it so we can clarify

will most def do so tomorrow... the car is in the garage at work... still waiting for my injectors :(

[starfriend]

sorry for the waiting time, had some trouble getting the cam to work + the car is in a garage 30mins from me;) anyways, heres a pic, and this is the only way i could get it to work in the direction of the turbo... *grrr* Nick also missed a silicone hose, went out to buy one today but the cheapest i could find was almost 100 bucks... sick prices in this country, hope a friend of mine has a piece lying around...

[martini]

the pipe on the left is on wront... that bung (by your thumb) should be up by the turbo

yeah, i figured that much, but the other way around it completly doesnt fit, you can see the piece earlier in the thread... its completly a no go :( is it really welded correctly? starting to think the outlet actually is misplaced?

[Papachristou]

you gotta stretch it... attach it to the turbo and then attach your first pipe off the intercooler (keep in mind the bolt that holds the bumper on) then pull each one off a little to u can make it work

to me... in the picture it looks just like the one in the picture I posted

id say flip it, and take another pic

[mike-2ptzero]

If it works the way you have it just use it that way, just means you end up having to use a longer hose for the bpv. Have to understand that the Racetec pipes are designed for a stock K03, so when used with a different turbo it will need some work.

[martini]

oh shit... i didnt even think to ask if you had a different turbo... that could totally be the problem

that actually why I had to cut my racetec pipe, because the GT28RS sits farther forward than the k03....

[starfriend]

oh my god guys i was in such a rush i forgot to mention it was a GTRS turbo.. i cannot believe i did that and didnt notice. I am so sorry. So, its a GRTS... any tips is taken with appreciation..

again, so sorry forgetting that!
