Hi, i have a Series 1 R33 Skyline, ive got my new boost controller but i don't want to hook it up till i replace the SMIC with a FMIC kit because its so hot and humid in darwin. I was talking to a guy at Autobarn and he confused me about brands etc. I then read a Fast Fours magazine which was alright, one thing in the mag i noticed was;
A spokesman from Hybrid said with a FMIC kit to suit an R33, they have seen 30-35kw increase from replacing the SMIC with a Hybrid FMIC kit on a good nic RB25DET, this was also based on the cars being completly stock, no exhaust, intake mods or anything.
Other people have told me that a FMIC won't increase power and i might loose power if i get an FMIC kit that has a high pressure drop.
Now atm i am running stock boost, when i get the FMIC kit i wanna run 10 pounds on the stockie. After i get some more money and stop prettying up the car for the Mrs, i want to get a smallish turbo like a HKS2350, bigger pump, injectors and power FC and i want to run about 15 pounds.
I want to ask the experts , what brand of FMIC kit should i get, will i get any performance gain or loss & how Plug and Play are the FMIC kits as they state they are.
