Ok so here is what im working with

r33 Gts-t

full exhaust

EBC

Now is the time for a FMIC and I was wondering if this option could give me less lag as the piping will be shorter

as you can see (dealer dosent have a pic for the r33 model) ... the piping is almost identical as stock

any feed back would be great !!

Sure less piping but the air at the end of the tank hits the flat end tank then has to perform a harsh 180degree turn to head back through the fmic = quite a large pressure drop. But it will work.

As for whats better. This setup or a pipe that does a 180degree bend and then travels back I'm not sure.

Unless you go back to back you probably won't notice.

Maybe you might be able to record some sort of pressure drop when running high boost applications.... but i run 12psi with a Blitz Lm Return pipe and there no pressure drop..

there IS a slight lag as the much larger cooler is filled compared to the stocko item but this is the same with a straight through fmic. I think at the 200kw kinda world where most people with pretty stock cars are sitting... you wont notice the difference. With a 300kw rb25... well that could be a different story.

Im running a fairly crappy setup.

A 450x300 with small 2" piping.

My piping does a full 180degree bend in to the fmic on the drivers side running up underneat the fmic; so not quite as nice as the Blitz setup which has the end tank designed to accommodate the 180degree bend some what from memory?

Mines making 268rwkw on 15psi and doesn't appear to be having any issues at the moment but its definitely not optimal. :S

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
