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?

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
