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.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
