Just bought my first 300 And I want to buy a front mount kit with pipes and blow off valves but can't find any in this country anyone able to point me in the right direction ?! Need to do it before paint.

This ground has been covered many times before, there are a lot more SMIC options out there and they are arguably a better system for a zed. I have the Ash Spec 2.5in intercooler pipe kit and Bell SMICs from CZP (no longer available from there) they are very good. When it comes to BOVs again they arguably don't really work on a zed because of the way it measures it's intake air. Plenty of people use them without issue, other people (me included) had issues with stalling and stumbling. Noz didnt use any sort of BOV at all for a while without issue, but I use the BDE goose honk kit in the standard recircs and that again is an awesome set up, Jaffa used that set up so that was good enough for me.

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Noz is the man when it comes to sweet running engines and Jaffa has a million horsepower time attack car.

Hello & welcome!

 

There are 2 types of FMIC, the Autobahn knock-off of the HKS item is probably better. You're right though, there aren't any available on eBay based on the brief look I've just had.

 

Don't bother with BOVs.

Thanks for the kind words :thumbup1:

 

With regards to BOVs, I've not run any for a couple of years. 1.7 bar on stock turbos and no issues. Same as on all my high-powered cars, from MR2 turbos to GTiRs.

Welcome to the forum! :)

 

Tip: Don't waste your time/money/whatever on BOVs.

Welcome Sam :thumbup1:

hi Sam and welcome

 

i run a Border front mount intercooler with 2.5 inch pipework but then again i am running 500 bhp at the wheels with all the supporting mods, side mounts are more than adequate for most needs i only went for the front mount for Aestetics

That's great information thanks guys! I feel very welcomed :)

Suprised it hasn't been said already mate but "Get some pictures up!" :biggrin:

 

Oh and as you're a zed newbie, a goose honk kit doesn't make your car honk :lol: it is a problem zeds get where you hear a resonance in the intake pipes. It is a combination of things but hard pipes and pod filters make it more auidible, then old recircs and increased boost make it louder. It sounds like blowing over a milk bottle and/or a wet finger round a wine glass rim. The kit beefs up your recircs to get rid of the noise, my set up sounds better than any dump valve. It surges a bit and whooshes with a tiny bit of honk still there, just enough that it is like a high pitched accompaniment to the sci-fi sneeze of 16psi gear change.
