R34 Smic Heatsoak, Is It An Issue?

[tek_01]

Thats the funniest thing i have seen (spoiler) hahah pretty good tho

similar to J34 regarding SMIC vs FMIC. Big difference with front mount on the dyno

[Adriano]

heat soak on a dyno is due to the fan not directed to give it enough airflow, this doesn't happen on the road.

In short it's not a problem you should be fussed about. Getting traction and brakes are worth more stress and effort than this one on a stock turbo.

Agreed^^^ On the dyno, wind forces dont reflect driving

in same position with the electronic spoiler,thats why i'm currently using the 34smic,but will be going fmic with return pipe eventually.

ps. i like those blue driving lights.

came like that from japan, i think the jap owner tinted the reflector blue inside the foglight. As its still the factory nissan foglight. Or just a blue globe, never checked

Smart man!

All the stories ive read of heat soak were people doing couple of runs on the dyno. The fan is usually pointed towards the radiator and the SMIC misses out on the airflow.

Thanks all

blue bulb, mkes a yellow light look white.

I am installing an Apexi Hybrid that uses the same pipes as the side mount but will be covering the pipes in insulation from the cooler to the engine. This should reduce the heat soak.

Im not going fmic just yet,but been thinking about just buying a small slim cooler(Just Jap.$180 i think) having the end tank modified to return(like us r32 owners did before installing the r34smic) which cost $50(depending where you go) and getting same shop to make cooler piping(would not have a clue on price).Each to their own.

Just thought id let you guys know as i think this might be alot cheaper option.
