SS8_Gohan Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hey people decided i'm going to go with a remap for my 34, power fc is too expensive. (2 options for this, just deciding who at the moment) Current mods - Full 3" turbo back exhaust with hi-flow cat - turbotech boost controller, around 10psi i think I will be doing some sort of intake mod, thinking hi-flow panel filter as i can keep the stock airbox. Not sure if a pod is better, but i don't see the benefit of having a pod sitting out in the engine bay sucking in hot air. I would like to do some sort of CAI as well, but at least a hi-flow panel filter, or something to keep the stock box. What i don't know is if i need is a FMIC? These look great IMO from just jap http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Co...er-t209304.html And if i wanted around 200rkw's (should be obtainable), i know the SMIC is capable of this, but is a FMIC necessary? The car will be tracked a little, and a few places have said that in summer, you'd notice a FMIC would make a big difference. So yeah, FMIC or just stick with the SMIC? And if i go for a FMIC, would the just jap one to the trick? I like the idea of keeping a stock looking engine cheers, daniel Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219593-remapping-my-r34-is-a-fmic-necessary/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
666DAN Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 At close to 200rwkw my stock side mount used to heat-soak badly with the stock turbo power dropped off quickly.

SS8_Gohan Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 +1 for FMIC then thanks for the pm the other day as well Dan You think the Just Jap item should sort those problems out ok?

Sheng Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 +1 for FMIC then thanks for the pm the other day as well Dan You think the Just Jap item should sort those problems out ok? Hey mate, your smic will hold up to 200rkw. but the Just jap coolers are great, think you can pick a kit up for $399 now, free up the air flow is the best option at this stage, as for remapping your computer, it will get expensive once you start modding your car, unless you gonna keep everything how it is after remapping.

colossus Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I will be doing some sort of intake mod, thinking hi-flow panel filter as i can keep the stock airbox.

I just put on a FMIC and the stock snorkel for the airbox does not fit back on as the FMIC piping is in the way. THis is something to keep in mind as my stock airbox now just sucks hot air just like a pod. Decision now is wether to a CAI to the stock airbox or to a boxed pod as the FMIC install leaves a hole in the guard which goes to the front bumper where the SMIC piping used to run.

Yo-Yo Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) I just put on a FMIC and the stock snorkel for the airbox does not fit back on as the FMIC piping is in the way. THis is something to keep in mind as my stock airbox now just sucks hot air just like a pod. Decision now is wether to a CAI to the stock airbox or to a boxed pod as the FMIC install leaves a hole in the guard which goes to the front bumper where the SMIC piping used to run. I cut out a section of my snorkel to fit with the new piping I started with a small partition and kept cutting more out until it all fit, although admittedly as I have a pod and partition box a lot of airflow would come from the hole left by the stock i/c piping. I'm soon planning on making a second air intake using piping running from the frontbar to the hole using THIS thread for inspiration painted my fmic and piping in black Edited May 22, 2008 by Yo-Yo Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219593-remapping-my-r34-is-a-fmic-necessary/#findComment-3888062 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinP Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I have an R34 that had 205rwkw with the factory SMIC. The R34 ones are supposed to be good up to around 200rwkw, but I was finding it was having bad heat soak issues when i was stuck in traffic or on hot days, causing the engine to ping pretty bad. I probably could have gotten it re-tuned to help stop this, but instead I fitted an ARC turnflow FMIC. Problem solved! I think its worth doing when you are getting close to 200rwkw's on R34's.

666DAN Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Get the justjap stealth FMIC option....it's a similar design to my one, runs back and under and is out of the way of everything Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219593-remapping-my-r34-is-a-fmic-necessary/#findComment-3888440 Share on other sites More sharing options...
colossus Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I cut out a section of my snorkel to fit with the new piping I started with a small partition and kept cutting more out until it all fit So once you cut out the side of your stock snorkel how did you seal it back up?
