FMIC don't really give power.

Is your POD exposed or boxed up(enclosed)? If its exposed your probably losing power right here compared to a standard airbox because of the heat from the engine bay.

Power isn't everything take your car to the drag strip and see how it performs against other cars with the same or more power.

Its ONLY A dyno reading, its used for tuning get your powerfc in wack in more boost and tune it and you will get the results or thereabouts.

Just get the power fc in it, the stendard r&r is far more severe on the r34 than the r33. I dyno'd a stock r 34 gtt, then he went away and got a million dollar front mount, million dollar exhaust, and brought it back, gained 4 rwkw, and lost about 30 kw in the midrange. looked like a rollercoaster. How does your dyno graph look?This one had 2 or 3 skijumps instead of the usual one for a r33)

for 33's i disagree, I've heard people say 12psi through 33's stndard cooler but with my own s2 i found that bloody unlikely as mine was majorly miss behaving with the standard smic.

drop a free'ER flowing fmic and piping and walla...she stoped nock,backfiring an just drove like a frign dream.. after that.

I get a jjr split front an dump, this weekend, im putting in my widebody 3" catco with it on my 3" cat back and il let you all know what she's like @ 10psi

the stock maps scale up when inc boost, so is it a rising rate when inc boost so the car literally runs worse afr;s or they come down a bit ?

The afr's get heaps worse when upping the boost, even standard they can go off the scale(<10:1), and it just gets worse from there, the other major problem is that the computer pulls out heaps of timing which loses any powe gain you would have had.

184rwkw @ 9psi with boost dropping hard (midrange was at 13psi)

FMIC, Pod

Zorst with terrible cat (changed now, goes better)

Avcr (hate it)

Power FC

Somehow want to hold 14psi and make 200rwkw, we'll see if i can sort the boost dropping issues out.

This is an r34 thread so this post is completely irrelevant and will only serve to confuse people who don't read carefully.

FMIC in r34's rare give any power. This much is true.

Dyno's do give very different read outs and are not comparable without controlled circumstances. For instnace, I went to Bel garage Mainline dyno one day and got 255rwkw, a month later on a similar day weather wise, with no other changes, I got 256rwkw on the Dyno Dynamics dyno at UAS.

Now if I went to Bel and got 255rwkw and you went to UAs and got 255rwkw I would not expect that they would have identical power until both cars had been on the other dynos.

ps. I now have 272rwkw on Unigroup's Dyno Dynamics dyno but got over 300rwkw on another dyno.

      Sounds good. Provided the panel is flat/level I'd be happy to start the painting process.  While you are learning, for sure you could do this. Its only paint, you can always sand it all back and start again. Its only your time and money on materials, but while you're learning, really its time and money spent on your education.  Once you know how to do this bodywork and painting, you won't want to waste your time and money on frivolous activities lol.

      Yep I will use a guide coat after putting filler, I will do it on the whole panel as I'm a beginner so chances I've made quite a few errors. In that photo, I think that was a low spot, I just for example said to pretend it's flat but I will put filler + guide coat after to assess where I'm at. Yep with that picture, the panel is wet as it rained when I took the photo. But all those scratches are completely smooth, I went over it with 240 grit and can't feel it, even with my nail digging into it. I was legit thinking to buy a 2k can and spray primer to see how it turns out but then thought to myself it's going to be a mess doing it haha. Good mention there. Thanks for all that info I think I know what to do next.

      Prior to laying down the primer, you need to make sure the surface is completely level. For example, based on this picture, I strongly suspect that the areas marked in blue are higher then the area marked in green.  If you spray primer over this entire area, then paint and clear it, the finished result will 100% show the low area. It will stick out like dogs balls. Unfortunately the paint won't magically level out the low areas as you lay it down.  Without seeing it in person, I expect that the green area will need to be filled, then use a guide coat and check that the entire repair area is level with a large sanding block.  With this picture, are you saying that even though you can see the scratches, the panel is in fact completely smooth and flat? If this is the case sure you could prep and paint it as it is.     The picture with the paint you described as blistering, it's hard for me to comment on from the photo alone. It looks like the panel is wet? Dunno, looks strange. Does the panel feel as smooth as glass when you run your hand over it? **** Going back to your question again, generally you would only sand the primer if you made a mistake while laying down the primer.  If the panel is prepped properly and you lay the primer down properly, you should not need to sand the primer.  This wouldn't work - Don't prep the panel. Spray primer and see how it turns out. Sand the areas where the issues appear. Spray more primer and see how it turns out. Sand the areas....... Yeah you'd go round and round in circles getting no where.
