Hi guys.

I just got my FMIC installed didnt notice too much power increase. I have no aftermarket BOV and now the car makes the sound like the HKS SSQ sound. I guess its from the airfilter. but I never had that sound before. any of you guys get the same sound? thats the only thing I am happy about my FMIC so far.

i didnt get that much an increase with my FMIC, once tuned though, thats when i got the 30kw increase.

The extra reversion (fluttering sound you refer to) your getting is due to the extra air in your intake system due to the FMIC and piping. You should not get this sound when backing off from full boost, if you do you need a better BOV, or loosen its spring. - i dont know the deal with the factory ones...

yeh.

my car got unichip tuned. i think thats the reason that I didnt notice too much difference.

before I got 3"inch dump pipe and FMIC installed. I raced with Supra TT with full 3'inch exhaust.

Supra TT got 1 car length infront of me in the end of 3rd gear.

after I fit dump pipe and FMIC.

its dead even now.

he didnt go pass me at even 4th gear.

SLY33 whats sort of clutch did you use for ur car?

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
