just jap sell a fmic with the inlet and outlet on the same side. u just have to make ur own piping to mate with the stock pipes. i was considering this option myself. from memory it's around $200, no piping incl.

edit: heres the link http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...c=82006&hl=

cheers man

i had a look at that one but looks like the pipes r on the wrong side, correct me if i'm wrong, but yeah prefer to have the pipes on same side, shld b heaps easier to install that way, does anyone know of any like that or does anyone have one on their car?

u say ur stock one goes alright hey, how much boost?

you can turn the cooler around to have the pipes on the passenger side. they work both ways.

i'm only running 10psi, with zorst and pod.

These cheap coolers may be able to make "X" amount of power, but how many of those people, have taken there cheapo cooler off, wacked on a branded, more expensive, better built unit, to find that the inlet charge is now, even cooler, and even more power is able to be made?

A cheap cooler will do you for low power, but I wouldn't want to push one in high power.

hey guys

am thinkin about gettin a greddy FMIC so im just wondering what the difference is between

that and a cheaper version (justjap)....

i have been quoted a medium sized greddy FMIC (not sure on figures) piped and fitted for 1g

am i better off doin that or picking up a cheaper FMIC.

thanx

So, you would deem 480HP at the wheels ant 18psi as "low power" ?

They are a core

They do the same job

The piping might be cheaper, and the welds might not be as good but results speak louder than words

Same goes for the whole JDM exhaust vs Local made exhaust debate

as i sad above i had a "branded" cooler n no difference

monkey boy, get an FMIC dude, you dont know how crap the SMIC is till you get a real core that flows well and cooles the intake charge... seriously those smic cop heat soke in no time, your blower works overtime to pump air through it after a little open throttle you start loosing power in major ways not to mention nock and over fueling from various issues.

I had them and once going to a nice MUCH free'er flowing FMIC it really did the trick, not a single nock or backfire since and there ar !FAR! better FMIC's out htere than mine certainly.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
