Looks good.. will this work on a 2003 evo 8 with the ix front bumper?

 

yes, it'll fit all VIII's and IX's. ACD equipped cars require some modification though, either bending an ACD hardline or cutting out a small section of the mounting bracket like i did to accomadate the line.

 

bending a hard pressure line......not a good idea. That could cause cracks......

 

oh ok.. i'll definitely order one! Thanks for the replies.

 

Good news!

Just got finished intalling this piece WITH an aftermarket FMIC... shoot, it has a complete AMS turbo kit!

Long story short - It fits. No problem.

I can't speak for every FMIC, but for the Injen (and I suspect many more) it fits without too much hastle.

A few words...

You HAVE to remove the FMIC for install. No questions - just accept it. After that - boom bang, it's on. I should also mention I have a PWR radiator, no issue there.

However, I *did* have to make some modifications.

1) Had to notch therear for the RMR Tie Bar (below the downpipe)
2) I had to cut a chunk for the 3" Downpipe

Other then that it's awesome.

 

I have a Ings +1 Front Bumper. The original plastic undertray would not fit because it was too short. The Ings +1 bumper is longer. So I'm guessing it would fit since it does cover more?

 

the carbing piece doesn't connect anywhere to the bumper, so it should fit with pretty much any bumper.

 

it looks like it doesn't cover the entire front end of the car like the stock and the beatrush kit. Can sum1 verify ( Im looking to see if it has that T shape) does it also secure to the stock wheel well panels to prevent them from flapping around?

 

No..only covers the center section of the car.

Does not connect to the wheel well panels...

 

I still love my Beatrush It covers more area underneath the car all the way to the wheel wells. And you only have to remove the back portion for an oil change.

 

yeah, i like the beatrush too, the only reason i went with the carbing is the significant price difference. it's only 5 bolts to take the whole carbing piece off to change oil, not really a big deal.

 

What modifications have been done to get the ACD line to work with the panel?

 

i just eyed up where the line bends out and drew a rectangle about that size on the mounting bracket with a sharpee, then cut it out with an air-powered cutoff wheel. so then the line can fit through the bracket in the cutout, it's only about 8 inches across, and i haven't had any problems. it's kinda hard to explain unless you have the mounting bracket and get under your car and look, then you'll know what i mean.

 

looks sweet man !

 

I got the Carbing under panel and it did not fit with my Cusco bars. I was also disapointed because it does not cover the oil cooler or the washerfluid bottle (ethanol).
