Hi guys,

picked ap an arc sidemount on saturday after only hearing good things about them and the fact that i didn't want to start cutting my front end up..now they are obvously not as big as the FMIC's so i didnt really know what to expect..

breathing mods now are greddy filter and inlet, R34 turbo Arc sidemount and 3in split dump, Hi flo cat and Kakimoto 3 in exhaust..

now it is no powerhouse by anymeans but the improvment is massive ...less lag, more grunt and that slightly deeper rb note..

I am a very happy man :(

next mods remaped ecu and tune

arc sidemounts ftw.

Have a r32 m105 sidemount on mine. 50% larger than your standard r34 smic and direct bolt-on for r32's.

Pulling 200kw atw and no heat-soaking problems yet. Will see after a track day how its handling...

Comparison of factory r32 smic Vs ARC m105

Nope.

Don't need to cut into the reo as the pipe bends back around underneath to the stock route.

wow the whole reson i went side mount was because of cutting up bars and reo..that sounds great..

Oh well....still happy..

How much was the arc fmic??

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
