Fmic Help

[rush33]

Hey ppl,

The other day i installed a hybrid front mount on my 33 looks really good, now i have got a couple of questions:

The piping kit didint come with a nipple which was all good, just taped in a thread and screwed in a nipple and used some exhaust sealant, i did this on the cold side just before the plenum like (the stock one to the stock boost controller) i have since seen ppl with the same intercooler and they've put the nipple on the hot pipe?

Which way is best or correct and should it matter??

Also since installing it ive got the really cool sounding flutter even at low revs, i also blew off a join on the intercooler piping when going to boot it the first time. Ive since retightenend absolute evrything and im guessing that my blow off valve must be too tight since the fmic install causing it to vent back through the pod, thats my guess.

Can anyone also confirm this??

Cheers Rushy

Technically with the extra air volume in the system your from the larger/longer piping and IC itself the wastegate will be act slower to act if plumbed in as you have.

Have you noticed any boost spikes on your gauge since you installed it?

If not then it's probably gonna be fine, otherwise best shift it.

I just ran it around the block a few times, each time i was releasing the HKS blow off valve spring, each time the flutter got less and less but then got to the stage of idle hunting, nah havent noticed any spiking the first and only time i tried to boot it, it blew the ic pipe out of a join.

So know one has changed from a stock cooler to a hybrid then?

Awhile ago I bought a Hybrid FMIC for my R33, but was waiting on a friend to install it for me, does anyone know of somewhere cheap to get one fitted, that does a good job?

If your handy and have the tools have a crack yourself, the hybrid instructions that come with the kits are really poor and do allow atleast a day and make sure u have a friend there to yell at lol.

so ive done it all ok then, i get huge amounts of flutter now (already had zorst, hks bov and pod) put on the front mount and lots of flutter and i blew a pipe off, was thinken that maybe theres to much pressure in there

Loosen it too much and it'll leak at idle (no pressure), hence the hunting, or open under too little boost.
