TreadStone Performance FMIC kit???

[Carbonaccord]

Hey guys, i recently called treadstone performance to find out if the FMIC kit listed as the "93-97 accord" fit our cb's or if that was a typo on their part and if it was really meant for the CD Chasis. To no surprise their kit is designed for the CD chasis and not the CB so i was dissapointed. I was wondering if any of you have had personal experience with the kit and have made it fit a CB with Zero to almost no modifications. I'm looking for a Quality FMIC kit and The Treadstone kit appealed to me but I'm open to good suggestions. (no china-bay crap please) the pipes are going to see over 20 psi and i cant have couplers blowing off mid pull. thanks.

I bought the F22 kit. I think if you do F or H kit you need to modify it a bit but also depends on your setup.

- I ditched the 1.75" reducer section
- On the drivers side corner i added a piece to extend it lower

I'd say this is the best kit you can buy for plug and play capability.

Hey thanks for the response! Waa there any trimming of the bumper needed to fit the intercooler? (I dont really mind trimming some material to get it to fit) and also, where do the pipes cross into the engine bay? Do you nees to relocate your battery? Do you need to open up your windshield washer filler neck hole? (Mine is deleted). And lastly, do you have any photos you dont mind sharing? I'm really interested since you mentioned its almost a direct plug n play. My set up is a dsm f22a turbo set up on a hybrid 16g/20g.

haha ok, i take back the plug and play.

- yes, you have to trim your bumper to make the intercooler fit
- windshield washer reservoir , gone, no room
- fogs, gone no room
- cut holes in engine compartment to run piping = yes
- move battery, yep

Now... some people routed the piping a different way than i did which allows them to keep the reservoir and not cut holes where i did. But this all depends on if you have a top mount or bottom mount exhaust manifold and what turbo you are using and angles, fitment, etc. You really do have to "make it work" no matter what route you take.



Some will bring the piping in below the high beam of each headlight, but this depends on your setup.


The piece I had to add to make this work. And you can see the hole others will use to route piping. Too sharp of angles i thought.

Thanks for sharing Raf99! Looks great! I'm not a fan of having to remove the bumper support. Did you have to remove yours for it to fit? Oh and i personally hate fogs so i don't have them lol.

No problem, I think I just mounted it to the bottom of the fiberglass bumper support on the inside and had to cut out flimsy plastic pieces. Drilled holes to secure the unit. This also depends on what size intercooler you go with. Those who went with a larger unit had to cut the bumper support out of the bumper.
