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

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
