SMIC with big16g?

[bertrenolds5]

Could you get away with using a SMIC with a big16g without any problems? Or should you get a FMIC?

[twack]

youl be fine

Oh yea, you will be fine that is for sure. A FMIC wouldn't hurt though...

I just wouldn't be turning up the boost though without something that you can use to tune with like DSMlink or SAFC.

Nice, SO smic but no more then 14psi till i get dsm link?

[bertrenolds5]

Anyone know how big the inlet is on the big 16g turbo? 3inches?

Ran 17psi on a 14b with my smic. Worked great even on hot days. Plenty of others have done the same or more. 14 on a bigger, more efficient turbo should be fine.

Pretty sure its about a tiny bit bigger than a 14b

[bertrenolds5]

It's strange how a small size difference in the compressor wheel from the 14b to 16g can create so much more horsepower. Talk about easy Horsepower.

That guy who made 340 FWHP at the dyno day was running a SMIC, granted it was a Nissan SMIC that was a little bit better... But it was a SMIC non-the-less!

25% more flow is nothing to sneeze at.
