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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
