its probably more beneficial to install a fmic and do it properly over the SMIC

find a local workshop and ask for a price for a FMIC supplied / fitted

should be near $500 mark - why would you bother with a SMIC in that case?

Hey Mate,

I used a R34 SMIC on my RB25 and it worked alot better than the stock R33 one. I noticed alot more response and it seemed to pull harder. You should swap them over for sure :P

Putting it in is really easy, just unbolt the old intercooler and bolt the new one in. Out of the 4 bolts only 3 reached on mine, but 3 is enough to hold it in place. It fits really well and the pipes should line up with it straight away. I also removed the plastic duct that was infront of the intercooler, seemed to be blocking alot of it off. Best way to get to it is jack up the car, turn the wheel to the right so you have heaps of room and then you should see it. I also removed my front bumper as it made it alot easier.

Hope that helps ya! :P

i have an r34 SMIC which id like to install on an r32 with the stock SMIC, its got an rb25 series II turbo and full exhaust, does anyone have any info on the swap as i can find anything, or any experiences after they did the swap??

the R34 smic are better for about half a lap then they are just as crap as any other SMIC.... Even the ARC ones are not that flash for any serious performance. They all heat soak badly.

Theres a previous thread on what needs to be done. I've done it myself as well, as I didn't want to go for the FMIC at this stage; only going for around 200kw and want to keep it stock looking (also didn't want to cut the car to pieces to get it to fit).

You need to get one of the end tanks modified so that the pipe comes out the other side, this cost me $100 from an aluminium welder. You will then need to possible modify the existing hard tube (that curls from the cooler behind the front bar) and you also might need to slightly enlarge the holes between the engine bay and where the intercooler sits. Finally you will need to bend up some custom brackets from some sheet steel to hold it in place, as your existing brackets won't fit.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
