A friend of mine managed to get hold of a cheap FMI for his R33. The thing is its naturally aspirated.

He installed it and now reckons hes gained some power.

Personally I think hes full of crap becuase the motors Vacuum wouldnt be enough to pull air through the intercooler properly and just create huge amounts of lag?

Obviously it needs to be on a dyno, seeing as he cant afford it can I get a professional opinion on this?? sounds a bit sus to me haha!

Thanks, Dave

a intercooler is there only to cool charged air which is heated up under compression of the turbo. no turbo means the air is at ambient temp anyway and doesn't need cooling. I call placebo effect and is a waste of time and is a illegal mod anyway

LOL, right, the intercooler/aftercooler is there to remove the heat from the compression of the intake charge that a turbo/supercharger makes.

The N/A motor will draw ambient temperature air if it has a cold air intake or hotter air inside the engine bay if you run a unenclosed filter type set up (pod) as here is no compression of the intake charge.

A N/A motor will always have a cooler intake charge than a Forced Induction system, unless its got a ice box or a NOS type cooling spray which is not really what were talking about.

The intercooler/aftercooler on the N/A motor must/will restrict flow which will lower response and power.

But it wouldn't be the first time physics and common sense has taken a back seat to some fully hectic ideas.

      Found the answer: it wont fit without a bit of work- you'd have to change the guards as well

      New lightweight, square wheel/tyre combo for the E90

      Ok cool, because I do have some OEM BMW options for light(er) wheels. 17x8.5 M Sport wheels are 11kg and I could put 255's on them. Maybe that's an initial test.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      So, in the effort of pulling apart airboxes and testing enclosures to see if this aids in MAP loss at WOT I noticed: 1) The ducts up the OEM intercooler holes from the front bar help IAT drastically, whether the pod is shielded from the engine bay by an airbox missing a lid, or an airbox WITH a lid. Plus you get more induction sound without the lid. Having half the airbox (with no lid) acting as a barrier to the headers seems to help. 2) For shits and giggles I checked the TB. This was full pedal travel. This is actually full travel of the TB. Photos aren't perfect, but there was definitely an amount of play in it and it wasn't against the stop. After much swearing and adjusting the pedal, I realised that the cable is actually too long for the skyline pedal travel to fully articulate it. Having the pedal adjusted so WOT was actually hard open on WOT resulted in an idle of 3500rpm. As an aside, this was also the TPS registering at 3.1%. I removed the above to give the pedal enough travel to actually fully open the TB. I now get a satisfying 'thonk' on full open and full closed which you can hear pumping the pedal as it hits the TB stops (with the bonnet open and intake back on). Luckily for me, the screw screws into a raised metal boss under this plastic piece that is now acting as the new throttle stop. I've gained about 20mm (ish) of pedal travel and I can move it maybe a mm or two post open-thonk before it's hard against the stop. After all of this I did a bit of road tuning because a 102MM throttle is sensitive. The difference between holding an 950rpm idle and instantly stalling is about 0.4% of TPS movement. Will that help? I suppose it can't hurt. I set 'closed' point back to where it was, I can definitely feel the extra pedal travel that is needed to actually open the TB fully. But this morning I dropped the car off at Paint Jail again, so who knows when this will re-eventuate out to see if it helps with the top of the dyno hitting a ceiling.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Take heart that everyone else seems to have found a way. The OEM S1 indicators do slot in pretty firmly. It may simply be a case of having them sit slightly looser and nobody actually ever noticed this when attempting to remove a indicator from a JSAI bar :p
