shri2222 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hello, I was curious if anyone is running the CXRacing FMIC kit for the S130 on a S30? If so how is the fitment and what is your opinion of it? I have used CX cores in the past on a WRX with success so was curious of their L28 option. -Shri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shri2222 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) I bought it, I installed it, fit with a little difficulty manipulating the pipping, no cutting to the kit was done. The angle of the intake pipe will be difficult to align and will take some time to allow the couplers to absorb the slight angle discrepancy between the 280zx and the S30. This can be fix by cutting and adding an additional coupler joint on the passenger side 90 at the rad support. Also note I am using a TB spacer so my TB is pushed forward about an inch. You will need to open up the wholes on the brackets that hold the intercooler, and cut and remove the lip on the rad support for the fan shroud on the 76-78s. Drilling is 4 holes into the rad support. The lower intercooler brackets may need to be hammered to fit the different pitch of the intercooler, as you can see the top sits more forward than the bottom, you can push it out from bellow but I like the angle as it allowed me room for my oil cooler. Quality is ok, you will also need to re-drill the bov flange because the bolt holes aren't spaced properly.

shri2222 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Also to add if you are running a after market T04 you will need to buy a 90degree coupler , and if you are using a KA TB you will also need that coupler. PS ignore the backwards stabilizer bar, my friend thought he'ed help when I wasn't around.. Edited February 9, 2016 by shri2222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
