upto how much power can you run with the stock smic? I am aiming for a the 200rwkw range and currently running a 3inch full zorst, and ebc..looking at getting a pfc in the next couple of weeks. so is a fmic really necessary to hit my mark?

you will have better and cooler air flow once you install a fmic

i personally think it's essential for the health of your motor.. especially when raising boost levels and living in the hotter conditions of australia, opposed to japan

some people say they noticed more turbo lag, but for me i noticed it spooled the same, and went somewhat harder during full boost

i would upgrade to fmic before anything else :nyaanyaa:

Have one sitting next to me waiting to go on my 33 :nyaanyaa:

The quality seems reasonable, pipings a reasonable diameter, all round for the money I dont think you could go wrong.

Theres definitely a difference in the workmanship between the Cooling Pro cooler and say a Trust cooler (one of which I *also* happen to have sitting in my room...), but to be honest I highly doubt it would translate to any tangible benefits between having a slightly better made/better welded core/end tanks, compared to the JJ kit.

If youre going for a monster 600kW drag engine build, yeah go brand name for sure, youll want the best of everything. But for a mildly worked 200 - 250kW street car, I think a Cooling Pro kit is definitely the best choice for the money :thumbsup:

You could go for a 34 SMIC... Cheap and effective. If you go the JJ ones you will most likely have to do some chopping which can be defective and void insurance.

Or you could get a cooler and then custom piping etc.

I believe for approx. 200kw targets the 34 SMIC is the best option.

Right on the money.

i bought one way back and i was in the same position.

if i could go back in time i would defiently spend the extra bux to buy a proper kit. the crap from justjap just didnt fit good enough, had to mod this and that.

but its up to you. i know alot of 34 owners who wernt to happi with the justjap coolers. mainly because you have to remove the engine cover, modify clearance from the fan ect ect. where as greedy/blitz/hks coolers are a direct fit no questions asked.

i even got the kit fitted by a workshop so no faulty backyard job or anything.

like everyone else has said, it works fine....and it sure does, but a bit of a stuff around.....

you get wat u pay for i guess, and i got as much as i paid. 350 bux....

Edited by R34NRG

well i got one and it fitted perfectly, no complaints.....except i was missing 1 bracket.....i had to fabricate something but not a big problem...they prob would have sent out the missing part if i was patience enough...

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
