and will a safc fix it?

i have been told of people having problems with fuel and boost cut due to fmic while using a stock ecu.

any help appreciated.

I've got the stock ic and recently ran 14+psi (15psi spike) no fuel cut issues.

I think if the ic is sized very well the extra horsepower potential may exceed the Air Flow maximum allowed by the stock ecu. More hp = more airflow = ecu dummy spit.

A big ass ic will create some lag if its oversized for the turbo and reduce overall flow efficiency. If you are running an ic rated a 600hp and you have a 300hp turbo you might make less power than stock AFC or not. Having said that at least if you decide to circuit race you will keep the power at maximum all day.

rev you make a good point that alot of people dont really under stand. having the biggerst cooler isn't great if you only want say 3 or 400 hp my cooler is (core only) 500 x 280 x76 if you look at most of the apexi etc coolers they are are similar size untill you get up to the big one for 600 hp +

Yep, sounds like you have a very sensible sized ic megs. Building a "whole" performance package is the best way to go. Make a plan out starting with what sort of measured performance you want and design the car around that concept.

If you want a turbo that can wack out 200rwkw then get the kit that will do that with the best efficiency and you will get better mid range power (what is needed on the street).

I very much agree, howeva a big ass intercooler looks SIK! You know how much i'm into looks Megs! :)

The restrictiveness of the IC can also relate to its cooling abilities though right? I mean a very unrestrictive cooler may not cool very well cos the air goes through too quickly??

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
