how about HPC coating the cooler pipes?

I don't think it would be suitable for the IC but surely wouldn't hurt on the cooler piping and may also aid in reducing inlet temps as well as achieving your stealth look in the process :D

yea on the stock turbo the R34 SMIC was the best investment... read my thread on the R34 SMIC upgrade...

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=142510

Yes, now that im chasing more power ie. highflow turbo, injectors, fuel pump, ECU... a FMIC will be required for the 18 - 20psi boost level... im aiming for 250+rw/kw

If 200rw/kw is your aim, then the R34 SMIC upgrade is the best option!

Yea for sure, cops will pick at ANYTHING they can just to issue a fine or defect... especially with us "chocko" looking guys lol

Besides it would put a huge smile on my face when i smash a supra, sti, clubsport etc off the lights and my car looks stock as :(

Hahaha always the odd one out ay Paul? :laughing-smiley-014:

By painting it black, it will make it LESS obvious to spot and not to mention when driving at night will be virtually invisable...

Yea i was considering a GTR cooler.. but for the total cost of cooler + custom piping + fitting, might as well get a TRUST FMIC kit ($795) and get it sprayed black...

Thanks for the advise Ronin ill keep it in mind, although for $50 or so, a Radiator repair shop will spray it with their thermal paint and will also aid in cooling...

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      Hi guys, Sorry to butt in and take it slightly off course, although still on the VCAM subject.  I had VCAM put into my Tomei 2.8 bottom end and I struggle to take off because the engine has very little torque caused by VERY low dynamic compression at 60psi. But once off the mark and especially on boost, the engine rev happily all the way to 8000rpm and makes 630hp at 20psi of boost on E85 at the rear hubs. Has anyone had any similar experience or any suggestions on what might cause this low compression at low rpm? I am in the process of converting it into a 8hp transmission and with this low torque, the engine would not even stay running until the throttle is opened to more than 30% and then I loose all vacuum.

      Shockabsorber 101

      By Watermouse · Posted

      Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product

      High temp brake fluid?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.
