smim or bigger fmic

[rightaway]

here is my set up now http://www.cardomain.com/id/rightaway


now i can either go with a magnus smim and 1g tb over my stock 2g tb and intake or upgrade to an agp fmic with short route pipe from my greddy 18 row? which one is better for my set up?

 

[weith1111]

I'd go SMIM and TB for sure 100%, your FMIC should be sufficient, and the 2g IM and 2g TB blooow.

I would also say a SMIM. You could see gains of around 40 hp to the wheels.

Personally I don't like the Greddy fmic setup with long pipes & small diameter but as far as performance for the $, I'd go with the smim as well. Change the fmic when you run out of other things to spend money on

He!! yea! Never have to upgrade your intercooler again. Reach the limits of your new Intake Mani

who is gonna tell me what is smim

Side Mounted Inter - Cooler = SMIC



Not sure where the "m" is coming from, I think people are just mispelling the acronym.

 

[1stGenRocks]

smim = sheet metal intake manifold

Rowlex, you know, you're about ready for a set of cams and an FMIM. I'm going to get set of FP2s (i hear they're like hks 272s but more affordable). I'm going aggressive in my duration because I also hear that a relatively new stock valve train can handle repeated ventures into the 8500rpm range. I'll be raising my rev limit with my DSMLink and your 60-1 is "bigger" than my 18G!

See this is what happens when you are sleep deprived. I don't know what I was thinking.

Here's one from Bulldog racing. The price is right, does anyone have any experience with it?

As a general rule......you get what you pay for.

Im not just ready for meth/water injection... I HAVE to have it I can't get past 21 psi on this turbo without a bunch of knock on pump.. Unless I can get cams incredibly cheaply the last mod I will do to my AWD is water/meth injection. I am done blowing money on a car i drive 1.5k-2k miles a year, besides that I now have a sportbike

Don't forget to get the upgraded valve springs with the fp2 cams.

Do you have any before & after hp/torque, quarter mile times or airflow (lb/min) results from the smim & tb upgrade? I was thinking about one of these after some cams to get the most out of my evoIII, I've heard gains of 4-5 lbs/min from the smim on this size of turbo and was just wondering if these claims are true?

Yup, sport bikes make everything else slooowwww ddoooooowwwwwnnnnn . I'd get one, but it would make me feel my car pulls like a turd!

>>> This may be off topic. but FP reported that they ran to 8500 repeatedly in testing their FP1 and FP2 cams. I was told that Shep used shims for the longest time and only with a lift that well exceeded an FP2. I was looking at crower springs but they're only like 3 psi stronger. . .

I thought FP says you don't need upgraded valve springs with either the 1's or 2's but you do with the 1x & 2x.

Probably not *needed* but I'd rather be safe then sorry. When/if I do cams i will be using upgraded springs. I wouldnt trust my 100K mile springs to 8500 RPM.
