helix fmic tips tricks?

romak47 · 07-22-2011, 07:18 AM

Hey,
For anyone that has put in a Helix FMIC for the 135 can you let me know any pointers you may have? Gonna install mine this weekend so just wanting a smooth hassle free install.
Is it easiest to put the couplings on the car side ducting first or the IC side? Is it recommended to lube the couplings? stuff like that..

thanks.

youll love it, HUGE improvement over stock IC.. Solid IAT, and more boost when using map 5 on JB4.. I got 2psi increase after install..

I'm running map 2 on the jb4. should I switch once I install the FMIC. Or will map 2 still be the more aggressive one?

map 5 is autotune.. and 11-16 psi dependent on mods you got.

I still have my downpipe cats and able to do 15-16 psi

map 2 requires no downpipes and maxes out at 14.5 psi..

im sure youd see more boost at map 5 if you have helix FMIC and kityless downpipe
