Howie, mesh it i reckon.... if you dont mind hiding it then saves it from larges stones and debris as well as stealthy.

Here a couple of mine with the mesh...

RSPEC I've got a Trust Spec R-HG it uses the same piping as standard smic, yours looks to be a tad bigger maybe it is the Spec V i think? How much did it cost cause thats a easy way unless you got photos of it before going on.

Wanted something small and efficient for response.. the hybrid has a nice fin design which directs air in the front then comes out a regular core on the back. Apexi stopped production of these items so it's been pretty hard sourcing one for me. Anyhow so long as it works well to reduce heat soak i'm happy.

Howie,

How much has it set you back (I'm shopping for turn-flow FMIC now) if you don't mind sharing, PM if you prefer.

And what power level is it good for?

Very lovely 34 you got there (been pondering getting a 34 lately).

Cheers

Grant

totally getya. looks well made and seems to fit well. performance wise, its a good choice for response. i was just giving my opinon on the cosmetic aspect is all

Howie - paint the core! The end tanks make it look out of place; R34s deserve a big IC :) I hear your logic; but to be honest - even with my JJ FMIC under the 2.5L, response was pretty much the same as with the SMIC.

Might consider painting it down the track, but not really inclined to remove all that paint from the apexi core If I don't like it lol.

Oh btw, no cutting of the reo either :) So i've got a little room up top for my trans cooler.

bbtw, did you end up getting the rear diff for your car?

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
