My new Forge FMIC

No word just a happy face!!!

The installation was simple and fast, no cutting, new grill came with the kit with all the trim needed. Looks good and feels better.

Pics are going to be available in a couple of minutes


Thanks to Minspeed

I live in Puerto Rico and the during the days the temp is around 90 and nights between 75-80 degreees and I feel the car running a lot faster during the day than before , I don't know what is going to happen at night.

I touched the inlet of the fimc and is a lot warmer than the exit, a big difference! I noticed that after driving for an 1 hour an running vs a new S2000.

Next mod tune the dme!

You said you fitted it yourself, was it difficult or fairly straight forward? I like to think that I could give most things a go what was the most difficult part of instillation? From looking at instructions getting the front bumper off looks the fiddliest bit!

It was easy after you remove the grill, bumper and unpluged the Bulbs (fog lights, driving lights and the yellow side markers) you have to remove both clamps or brackets from the stock intercooler, remove it and installed the new one, I trimed a piece of plastic next to the stock intercooler tubes just get more free space. And you have to reinstall the temperature

The kit Includes
Forge Intercooler
Lower Grill with all the trim needed, so your stock grill you colud keep it safe at home or sell it.
the drill bit to the hole in the front crash bar (not obligated, I didn't do it)


Here are the instructions, better explained!!
