just get a fmic after you pay for the smic,hard pipes,and bov you will be at the price of a fmic
OK so I got forged internals CP 9:1 pistons, pauter rods, ARP studs, awr deep sump oil pan, exedy stage 1 clutch, su motor mounts, su hardpipes, ported and polished head with 3 angle valve job, boost/vac guage, oil pressure gauge.
Gonna order upgraded sidemount, vibrant j-pipe back exhaust, injen CAI, unichip.
My question being, what is the max PSI i can run on the sidemount?
I plan on getting a custom unichip tune using the built in elctronic boost controller, and my goal is 225-250whp.
How realistic is this with what i have and if not what would i need?
i.e. intake mani?
I thought I read somewhere that the Turbohoses SMIC/hardpipes can handle over 10psi... Does anybody else know about this?
For a daily driver though, it seems like it would probably be one of the best SMIC upgrades, right?
i always kept mine in i like the sleeper look better then the hey look at my fmic look.
Would you happen to know how the Turbohoses SMIC compares to the CustomMSP SMIC? They all claim to flow better than the competitors... I've searched and haven't really found an answer.right. daily driver 10 psi or less its fine. your not going to heat soak it like a stock smic. but if u race or run more boost (more heat), its not going to get the air it needs to do the job.
Well the main reason I was leaning towards the Turbohoses V2 is their dyno proven gains are from a stock MSP with just the SMIC and hardpipes, 17.11hp & 10.83ft. lbs. torque at 5psi (stock boost is about 6psi, right?).
The CustomMSP gains are 20hp and 15ft. lbs. torque, but it doesn't say if that's from stock or with other upgrades as well, like exhaust, intake, etc.
I just want to upgrade my daily driver, I don't have super high power goals. Just want to keep it simple and reliable.
