GI: JBR FMIC Piping Kits

[JBR]

I will makes these for both GEN's however, I will only make them for 1 core. Decide amongst yourselves which core TR8, TR8L whatever. I'll put it up for vote and get it done.

Discuss!

Hey guys here's the long awaited update.

The crash bar for the GEN 2 is done and out for manufacturing. I suspect it will be about 4-5 weeks until that is ready.



The piping kit for the GEN 2 has also completed the design stage. About 85% of the kit will be silicone. There will be a blow through option as well.
I have not decided if colors will be an option or not. I will most likely offer the cross over pipe on top in colors. That decision will be made next week when the drawings go off for manufacturing.

Pricing has not yet been finalized but as always it will be where you expect it to be from JBR.





I have not included all the pictures because, there are a lot of eyes on what we're doing and you'll just have to wait to see the final product. It's slick.

I apologies for how behind schedule we are. I think it'll be well worth the wait.

Thanks,
Jamie

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM......


What couldve made you come up with that idea??!?!?! Lol

[3starmagnum]

That is such a fantastic idea!!!

[KayWhy]

yes . . . Nuff said

[2011speed]

Just outta curiosity what would price estimate be?

[KayWhy]

If he was to stay competitive it would be have to be damn close to Cxracing piping kit

[JgamB]

How about UR - I already emailed them about buying a crash bar and core, using their aluminum hot pipe and then completing a kit with JBR silicone. Collaborate and dominate.

No 6 love?!

Lol. I saw the cxRacing piping lots of MSFers threaded about.

But went w/ the CS SRI FMIC. CUZ

Great Company and support
And

The CS kit didn't cross over the valve cover making (to me) a cleaner Engine Bay


But no worries JBR im a spend my moneys on your site real soon!

[JBR]

I would rather blugen my nut sack then try and stuff a front mount and the piping in to the 6. Plus for both guys that would buy it it's hard to justify.

Sorry to be blunt.

[TheDukeZip]

Awesome - especially since I was thinking to install a FMIC later this spring or summer. No preference on core - I'll let the more knowledgeable people chime in on that.

If this was at least partially silicone, would you offer your standard 4 color options or would it be one color fits all?

Thanks JBR! PS I received my order from you a week or two ago (Stage 2 intake, boost tubes & recirc tube.) Can't wait to install on Saturday

[JBR]

CORE?

[Vader]

TR8

That's what everyone always wants.

/thread

[JgamB]

Provided the end tanks are 2.5" wouldn't it be flexible enough to accommodate just about any of them?

I'm a fan of UR quality and their crash bar. I've linked them to this thread hoping they'll contact you or vice versa so you can make the best possible FMIC kit.

I'd rather not hack up my crash bar for a TR8, but if that is the consensus, it's a decent choice as well. It's either a cut off wheel and a bunch of grinding or $149 for a bolt on solution.

[Vader]

He's not making a FMIC kit...

He's providing proper fitting piping.

Also, there is no requirement to cut the crashbar on the 3 with a TR8 or similar. At least on the GEN Win anyway.

[exentix]

agreed tr8 seems to be the go to for custom kits. I still havent fabbed mine up...

[JgamB]

From the other threads it appears the TR8 is better at cooling but has more of a pressure loss than the TR8L, so if the great majority are still on K04/BNR/GTX2867 and stock block HP ranges, the TR8 would be the better mass market choice.

[ChimmyChong]

Just wondering is this really going to be silicone?

If so, will you be only providing a 2 piece silicone kit?
Meaning, we source our own hotpipe that goes over the valve cover and connects to your hot side silicone piece by the dip stick and then we source our own cold pipe that connects to the TB from your silicone cold side?

Or a complete piping kit?

I'd go TR8 for my moderate goals.
How will you build your rig? Cut the crash bar and mount the core so we don't have to trim the undertray and no bulging of the bottom of the core?

[Shampu]

I would be all over this with a tr8 core

Only thing I would suggest is to please make the top pipe 1 piece like the Cobb. That's the main reason why I refuse to buy the cx

This is why I was suggesting working with UR for the hot pipe, TB/BPV flange pipe, and their already nice core and crash bar options. I'm willing to bet the silicone will work with either core, but Jamie is going to no doubt want perfection on the fitment.

If Jamie is making the aluminum piping as well, I can see why he just wants us to choose a core.

Either way I don't give a shit, this is going on my car in some capacity or other.

[Cheese5.0]

TR8 makes the most sense to me

[JBR]

I will not be including a core only the piping kit. It will not be an all silicone solution.

Another +1 for TR8

[neganox]

fap fap fap fap. TR8. Perhaps make a crash bar too? I'm being greedy

[smoogs12]

+1 tr8

[pwdunmore]

If the piping kit works with multiple cores like the TR6 and TR8 it would be perfect.

That way there is an option for owners who don't want to modify/replace the crash bar.

Here is a FYI for gen2 owners about the TR8: tr8 core on pu

[JBR]

I DO NOT want to do a crash bar too.

Will the TR8 fit both GEN's without modification to the crash bar and can the belly pan be put on. Please confirm ASAP.

-Jamie

[pwdunmore]

The cobb core is: 24" x 6.5" x 3.5" bar and plate core. And that requires gen2's to trim the underpan.

TR6 = 22" X 6" X 3.5" (400HP)

TR8 = 22" X 7.8" X 3.5" (500HP)

[Vader]

I didn't have to trim anything.

Just a FYI, I am about 99% sure any Intercooler from treadstone that this platform uses is 22 inches long, from the high horsepower guys to the TR8 etc.

So if you make it for the TR8 it should fit ANY of the treadstone cores.

On a side note even if the kit fits a certain intercooler, nothing some shorter and or longer silicone couplers wont fix.

This would be awesome! I would replace my 80 lbs UR piping kit lol

You should also give an option for BOV/BPV flange if possible.

tr8 will only fit gen1 with no modifications.

Gen 2's can't fit the tr8 unless the crash bar is either cut and trimmed or replaced with an aftermarket

Trimming the front undertray in necessary with the cobb kit and may be necessary with the CPe if I remember correctly. Trimming only requires taking, in my opinion, some really unnecessary plastic off of it. Pull out the dremel, go to town, put the undertray back on and it looks like you didn't do a thing.

+1 TR8

Also, @jbarone;, this has been a long time coming. Looking forward to seeing how this goes.

[captain slow]

I have the TR8L, So my vote is TR8L

[speed_freak91]

@jbarone; I know a while back when I put together my kit, the TR8L was basically on infinite back order. I dont know if treadstone finally caught up, but it may be something to consider. Making a kit for an intercooler that no one can get their hands on may not sell to well.

[msantana101]

Already have a custom PC UR FMIC but I'm always here to support JBR. Looking forward to seeing the final product!

I have seen a lot of piping kits that don't fit well, rub on frames or themselves, and are not braced properly.

Jamie, a great fitting piping kit will be an asset here and the TR8 will be the most popular size for the Gen1.

The gen2 will need something shorter in terms of a core to make it fit.

[maisonvi]

I would be curious about routing. I know I have the PG kit with a TR8L and I hate how it goes over the engine and off to the passenger side. I much prefer the cobb method of going down the drivers side. But it cost too much for me to make the switch. I would possibly switch if the price was right for a JBR routed that way.

[King Scumbag]

@jbarone; , ready to get whatever core you decide to make this kit for. Tr8s definately seem to be a big hit and have always seen nothing but good things. However if it fits my current JBR/COBB core, I won't complain . Reguardless you have my full interest, would prefer the hotside run down on the PS, I hate how jammed up everything Is on the COBB piping, may just be the fact that I have the V1 kit. As well as a fixed fitting or bend on the hotside pipe to turbo, Iv had a hell of a time finding a 2x2.5 coupler that fits tht area both height and length to reach that pipe and still utilize the old TMIC mounting location.
