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?

    • Hey guys Long time lurker, I daily a nm35 stagea 250t rs four and I've had it for almost 2 years (very reliable 👌).

Bc racing coilovers. 18inch rims Hdi intercooler and trans cooler soon.  Here's my car
    • thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price  
    • Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?
    • Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor. 
    • wedding eh.....I seem to get to more funerals than weddings or christenings these days....
