people in cali get popped left and right for driving an import.
if a cop pops your hood and see's a set up similar to these your more than likely going to get away with it because it looks "sleeper"

nobodies looking for performance with a small t25 and smic.
your lucky to get 200hp out of this set up
its just to give the ka a little pep to its step.

Turbo is not the sleeper problem, I think the smic is what will ristrict from making say 300whp

I plan on eventually upgrading my setup with STI 550cc injectors, Z32 Maf, Nistune and TD06-20G turbo. Running same side FMIC core and retain the SMIC piping painted all black. Setup may not be optimal but anything to be stealthy will definitely be a plus for us here in CALI.

Yes but they cost more. ARC and Blitz makes one. S15 Intercooler is also a good upgrade.

Congrats dude!

I got my KA/SR hybrid manifold in a few weeks ago.

I'll get a heatshield for it soon.

I'll take some better pictures of it with the new manifold when I find my damn digital camera.

But here's an old pic of my setup for the thread...

I've had a few ARC SMIC's. They work great.

But now I have an ARC Front Mount Cross Flow intercooler. Stock piping location but the benefits of a front mount.

You should put your stock fan shroud back on!

I found out that a part of the shroud that was supposed to slip under the top and bottom tanks on the radiator was causing the shroud not to sit flush on the new Koyo rad, so I trimmed it.

Now it sits pretty flush.

I also removed the small vacuum hose holder tabs on the shroud.

Well when your sitting there Idling for 10-15 minutes you get 0mpg. ZERO.

And I have to warm my car up twice a day. And the PowerFC runs my AFR at [email protected] during warm up.

Let your car idle for 15 minutes then go drive with 1 gallon in your tank.

When you run dry, put another gallon in and go, dont let it idle for 15 minutes, and tell me you dont see a fairly large distance in how far you get.

Thats all I was saying.

Unless you dont let your forged pistons warm up before drive.....

Why wait for it to warm up? Just let it idle long enough to build oil pressure and drive slowly.

I'm unsure where you're going with this, especially with the idle and MPG comments. If you let your car warm up for 15 minutes, you're only wasting fuel and your time. I typically let my car idle for 30 seconds to 1 minute before pulling out....and that's what I've done for the past 20k+ miles (even before going out on track for a session, I let it idle for a minute or so...take it easy for the first lap and then go beat on it). Same goes for anyone else I've helped build a forged motor for...and it's certainly not Nissan specific.

30 seconds to a minute, then driving it like a human for a minute or so is all you need. Once you get the oil pressure up and temp gauge moving you're set. You can easily let it idle for 15 minutes if that's what you do...I'd rather not burn fuel unnecessarily, especially at 4 dollars a gallon. That may explain why you have that issue because you (or your builder) idles it way to long(which is just as bad if that rich). My car comes up (even in winter) to 13.8-14.7 when idling/warm up.

That's my mantra. Much like my (going off topic) hate on turbo timers...a complete waste of time. Just drive like a human being for the late mile, and you'll be good to go.

We agree on something lol Waste of money.

I like getting my pistons 100% expanded before driving.

And if I warm it up for a 30-60 seconds my temps might see 30* C. Thats 80* F. Not even close to fully expanded. I never drive before 55* C/130* F. And it usually takes 10 minutes. My PFC warm up tune stops at 66* C. I've been meaning to change it to 55*.

Isn't all that fuel washing down your cylinder walls not much better...

Driving your car slowly will also raise your temperature faster.

I agree with Zar. Driving your car slowly is the best way to get temps up when you cold start the car. Having it idle for an extended period is a waste and actually creates a lot more wear on the motor.

And I typed oops caps lock in 4 seconds. I didn't think to google it actually, now that i think about it. how is it 1 am already!!! man. times flies when your on zilvia.

also found this

stock s15 smic is good for 220-250 from the post I saw from mrmephistopheles

guessing the arc would be better :/
