Hey Guys, thought to share this with you... i just installed an R34 GTT SMIC onto my R33 GTST and boosted to 10psi + ECU Reset
Current Mods: 3" Split dump + 5" S/Steel CAT + 3" CAT back exhaust + Turbotech Results: Car comes onto boost MUCH smoother & revs to redline MUCH easier.. there has been a HUGE increase in pull through out the rev range especially in 1st and 2nd gear... Dyno would be nice, any one offering a free dyno pass? lol Recommendation: Definitely worth the upgrade if you have stock turbo... Proior to this upgrade, the car felt held back and restricted, now the car feels much freer and has noticably unleashed more power... Throws you right back in the seat  Note: Prior to the SMIC installation, i flushed it with degreaser/hot soapy water and i couldn't believe the amount of black crap that came out! had to reflush about 4 times before it was 100% clean... then ran warm water though to get rid of the soap/chemical residue... i then stuck an old hair dryer in one end and let it sit there for 30min untill it was drip dry.. worked a treat! Look at the size difference between R33 SMIC Vs R34 SMIC!
Here is a couple short videos while driving home tonight, its just to show the smoothness of boost and ease of rev... (excuse the bad footage due to holding my phone while recording and driving) Hope you like!

OH good work! I've already put the 34GTT cooler in, and the turbotech controller... Got all the exhaust parts, but haven't fitted them.
When that's done, i'll shove it up to 10psi... same as you have. Hopefully it'll feel the same! Can't play vids though =-/ -------------------- Sydney RC Drifters My tutorials: Dash bulb info!

QUOTE(nuffsaid @ 9 Nov 2006, 08:50 AM)  I wonder if a change from a R34 SMIC on a GTT to a FMIC will show the same benefits No, you will not mate the R33 and R34 turbos are much the same except for a slightly larger exhaust housing on the R34. So unless you upgrading your turbo keep the stock GTT cooler. Its a good unit and you wont loose any throttle response to that of a large frontmount. always good to see these cheep mods work. cheers -------------------- |

Dav,
How you get vid worky? Mine comes up with quicktime and then fails and drops a question mark in it. I'd assume something to do with codec. |

I was thinking of doing this upgrade but thought if i do end up wanting bigger power i wouldnt want to do another upgrade to fmic. so im just going to get a big fmic, but good luck with your mods!!

I installed a blitz front mount in mine the other week and I was expecting a a change in throttle response but to my amazement it wasnt that bad at all.

Hey Guys, the video's were recorded in mp4 format and wouldn't upload onto SAU i had to change the file extension to .mpg for it to work... if you guys try and open it into real player they will work.. or download any divx codec pack and will work in windows media player...
Just a reply to Nismo God, i am planning for big power in the future, however until i am financially ready for a larger turbo + rebuild + injectors + fuel pump .etc. the R34 SMIC upgrade will give you the full potential out of the stock turbo and setup... these SMIC's have been known to hold anything up to 14psi and 200 - 230rw/kw which is more then the stock turbo, injectors and fuel pump will ever handle... so in my opinion, full exhaust + boost control + R34 SMIC + PFC will give you the maximum and most reliable tuned power out of a stockish R33... and wont break the bank.. Not to mention will not give you any issues with the boys in blue as a FMIC would Cheers, Sarkis |
