I will do my best. The guys are F.I are great, spoke to Tony for about 15 minutes a short while ago....very nice guy, and has a lot of ideas/views as I do when it comes to taking care of his customers. I am sure we will come up with something soon...they are very busy as well.

As for those still following this...a couple of more morning shots:

Have to go out and get some 3" exhaust clamps for this one:

Sasha (or others) would you know/recommend a shop in the Ottawa area where we can get your kit installed? I'm a bit of a neophyte in the area of force induction although been following related treads for quite a while.

Now that it looks we will not get more power from the next generation of Z's (Mini Z ???), and can get a well engineered canadian product, I think I'm ready for the big jump.
Thanks Sasha, Keep going with the good work.

I'm in Cobourg, just a couple of hours west of you. I'm doing the install myself. I have a good size garage, and own enough tools to do this with ease. After, I'll be driving my car to Vince at R/T tuning for a proper tune. He's approximately 8 hours away, but worth the drive.

If there is anything I can help you with let me know.

So, the bung for the wideband sensor will be standard?

You bet.

Tomorrow I will see if I can get a new set of pipes tacked up in the jigs...see how long that takes. Overall I am very happy with how the jigs turned out, and fitment should be perfect. I still have to order a coule of flanges for the Tial MV-S gates. They will be used on the diverter tube, where the gates connect (lower left jig).

Now I need to order some more 2" 90deg elbows..enough for the 6 kits I plan on building right away.

IC piping is much easier to duplicate, so no worries there.


Something to note...The kits will use one Tial BOV not two like the original kit. It will be located at the intercooler inlet just below the scavenge pump on the U bend in this picture:

This is the main reason the kit is a bit cheaper than I had initially posted. At the same time with the BOV being there, those that purchase the kit for California, the charge pipes will look more like a CAI vs. a turbo kit. The only way one can tell the difference is if they look at the intercooler. It closes the OEM bumper opening rather well, so it not as obvoius unless one knows what to look for.

As is pointed out above, there is a lot of metal going in its place. That certainly would help. The difference is the crash bar is designed to direct impact energy around the front impact area and into the frame siderails and away from the cockpit. The FMIC is not designed for this purpose. In a serious collision, I would venture to guess that the crash beam would be a significantly safer option.

Not taking anything away from this awesome kit. Just saying that an FMIC and a purpose-built crash beam are apples and oranges from a safety perspective.

Jigs look awesome. I'm already excited!

Looks like FI could never be in your future. Wether you lose the crash and replace it with an intercooler, or jam intercoolers behind the crash bar not allowing it to crumple your going to have to give up something. Moral of the story, don't get in an accident lol

I really hope this fits the G 37 ... Can't wait for the first reviews to start trickling in ...

Round of applause:bowrofl:

I agree with what you, the only thing I miss about my crash beam is my tow hook.

The JIG's look awesome

What all does the "tuner" kit come with as opposed to the complete kit? I'm assuming no fuel pump, injectors or UpRev?

Check this link for your answer, What is included in the tuner kit

Basically like you assume, no fuel support and no UpRev.
