Re: Fmic Pix....

EPP is Exotic Performance Plus in Columbia City, Indiana (where I went to high school). You can find them at www.exoticperformanceplus.com Just ask for Bob, and tell him CALL911 sent you, and he will get you a killer deal on a FMIC for your car.

As for the pics, I have one with me but its not the best. I will try to get it posted soon. And as soon as I can I will try to take some better pics of my setup to post.

Re: Fmic Pix....

Did you cut up the front CALL911 for the FMIC to get more air or did you leave it stk and just use the opening's from the foglights? I cut mine open and put a grill in it's place so I don't punch a hole in the FMIC. Bought the grill from summit. Fits nicely too.

Re: Fmic Pix....



Here's the not so great picture of mine. I cut the space behind the foglights out, and ran a metal lip (its hard to see but the small three metal rods hold the metal ducting in) under the front bumper that ducts air up to my FMIC. So the front end looks pretty much stock, which is what I wanted.

The silver bolts down below are holding added material to my air dam for the radiator to keep the engine temps down.

No offense to anyone, but I really don't like the look of grills on the Camaro's. I wanted to make mine work without hacking up my front. I will say that hacking out the front of your bumper will allow the best air flow to your FMIC though. However mine works fine and looks good to me.

Re: Fmic Pix....

I'm not a fan of grills either but this compliments the front end. Those billet grills I detest the several horizontal lines. yuck! But no offense. You got any pics of what you are describing? I can see it in my head but picks are better naturally.

Re: Fmic Pix....

Thanks for the pic! Looks good! How low are you? I'm slammed and can't go that route but I still like the idea. Wish my camera was working I'd post a pic of that grille mounted on the bumper.

You are running the EPP FMIC kit right? Just wanted to know how it all fit together. Haven't dropped my engine in yet due to some small unforseen circumstance. Hopefully in the next wk I'll have it in.

Re: Fmic Pix....

My car is lowered 3/4 of an inch (same as a Camaro SS). I added the extra material to the air dam when I noticed my engine temps were in the 190-195 zone. The extra material on the air dam helped about 5 degrees, but sucks because I scrape it on the ground all the time (even by just using the brakes at a city speed).

Yes, my FMIC is from EPP, unfortunatly there is no ducting kit to make it fit to the D1SC for LT1's so my engine shop had to fab everything to make it work and they said it was a pain to do, but they got it done eventually, and it works great.

Keep patient on your car. With as much work is involved with putting a blower on an LT1 especially if the motor is modified, you will for sure run into some unforseen snags. I originally planned to spend $5,000 in mine to get it to work, and planned on having it back in the beggining of May. I ended up spending $10,000 and just got mine working about a week ago. Be patient, and persistant, and you will get yours done before you know it.
