That looks great man I will post some of mine later with the Twincharged setup. Coming soon.

 

:( Yet another thread making me wonder when I'll get mine.

It looks fantastic!!! Awesome car Bro!

 

Intercooler looks great... But that MINI looks awesome!!

 

Looks great but why are the new diverters splayed outwards near the top?

 

NICE! What type of boots are those? Are they silicone? It looks spectacular. Can't wait to get mine next week.

I don't know but was wondering myself. Maybe Peter can explain.

They are Alta boots. The little one was a pain to get onto the DFIC. There is a lip that you have to stretch the boot over. Getting that on took the most time during install.

Sorry to be a bug here but I have a couple quickies... Is there any movement of the DFIC when the engine is revved? How hard is the install/what do you have to do? I'm also getting an M7 Oil Catch Can and I don't know how to install that either. Oh well.

Thanks!

Mikey

 

Stupid question of the day and after I hear the answer it will be one of those Doh (in my best Homer voice no less).
What is a DFIC? See told you...
Car looks awesome.

With the Alta boots the intercooler doesn't move. The silicon boots are pretty stiff. I can't comment on the stock boots but you really don't need to worry about movement.

Install was simple and M7 gives you a CD with step by step instructions (i didn't need it). I buffed the straps and bolts that attach the DFIC to the bell horns (they go over the boots) and the whole install took 1 1/2 hours.

Thank you.

 

Here's an older picture before I switched to Alta boots...notice the diverter fence is vertical...

 

I'm going home to bend them straight tonight.

Peter told me something about this when I picked it up at his house. I was so excited about getting it, I don't remember what he said.

Here's an updated picture...

 

And that is exactly way I took the time to make an OCC How-to!

If it was a stickey *COUGH* people would probably see it, no?

BTW: That DFIC looks sick!

 

Beautiful Mini and engines everyone....MISFITOY, is that a water sprayer that I see on front of your DFIC? If so, how good does that work? Can you tell a difference when spraying?

 

So does anyone have the definitve answer?

Vertical or angled?

Peter?

Randy?

 

Great looking engines guys!! Thanks for posting the pictures.

 

Thank you. I am a long way from having the coolness of MISFITOY. Here I was loving my photos then MSFTOY had to post his coolness and shut me down. That *******! Just kidding. I love his car.

I took them myself not having a clue as to what I was doing. You have to love a digital camera.

Vertical! It only makes sense.

LongBoard

 

Very nice! Congrats!

Any thoughts on how it's working for ya yet?

 

can't agree more - very sweet car
