VRSF Short Route FMIC

[Defiant]

I have an opportunity to buy a BNIB VR Speed factory Short route FMIC for $250 from a buddy.

Is it worth getting and putting on my Galant? I know that it will take some finessing to get it around the ac lines and such.

is it for a 1g or a 2g, i feel like the 2g is better if you want to retain the a/c as it hooks around the outside of the frame rail. i dont really know as i don't have one, but from pictures the 1g looks like wires and lines may be an issue because of the end tanks. if you had no a/c id say a 1g would be fine, but on the galant the driver side end tank needs to have an upward facing inlet and to keep the a/c i know you would need it to stay that way, unless your rerouting all your lines and wires. also sorry for being redundant, ive been working like 15 hour days and then coming home to do stuff around the house the last week. today is my day off.

Yea, its a for a 1g.

I plan on putting AC back in the car. Louisiana summers are HOTT!!

I think I may pass on this deal just because its gonna be a pain in the arse.

i mean if hes your buddy have him bring it over your place and mock that bitch up to the car, see where the pipes line up and where things will have to go, i could be 100% wrong about everything i said, im just going from what it looks like and what i remember from putting my evo 8 intercooler on 138.

You can get it to work with the right setup. If you have a downward facing jpipe/turbo you'll be golden. The 2g core is way bigger and has a design that'd work, but youd have to modify the hot side inlet to go around the GVR4 support; the 2G's is shorter than ours would need.

I just got my 1g VRSF kit in the mail yesterday and will be installing it this weekend if everything goes to plan. BUT, I also have a civic half radiator and an exhisting short-route setup on my car.....

(off topic)
Not sure I can commit to this yet, but would you mind if I came down to see your set-up/install? Possibly a critique of mine..would love some input!

this is why i suggested the 2g one, he is also trying to keep the a/c. a big problem i see with using a 1g short route kit. as the 1g short route goes straight through where the existing a/c lines and wires are..

 

[5OF2k]

Unless Im mistaken, even the ETS GVR4 specific kit goes through that area, you just move the lines out of the way, just like you would if you were installing the 1g kit on a 1g and so-on.

There are people that have gotten the 2g kit for our cars, but once they saw what was necessary to make it fit they decided against it. Has to be a reason....
