SMIC with big16g?
 

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

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

youl be fine

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

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?

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

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

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

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.

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

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

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

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!

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

25% more flow is nothing to sneeze at.

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

He was also running e85 which kept the temps down.

My 50 trim has a 3 inch inlet. The 16g is about 2 inches I believe. I would also recommend getting a fmic. Hell they can be had for under $200 if you get an ebay kit and then have some minor welding done to guarantee good fitment.

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

Brian, I want a ride in your car sometime to feel what a 50 trim is suppose to feel like. My car doesn't like to spool up til like 5000 rpm because it hates me :(

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

If you want to see what a real 50 trim feels like... I can give you a ride... Brians car makes less power than mine and is heavier!

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

No prob man. I'm not really drivin it much until I fix a couple things, but in a couple weeks she should be bangin nicely :) I've got the boost set to like 10 psi right now so she spools up fine but doesn't pull like a 50 trim should. The fun comes around 20-25psi haha

p.s. anthony doesn't know how much power my car makes because neither do it ;) And my car may be heavier but it looks hella better haha

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

We know bro...

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

huh? I musta missed where it was I said that.

btw, I would strongly reccomend getting a fmic setup to start off with. As soon as you throw a 16g on there you're gunna want to really feel it shine in the upper 18s psi and in order to do that you will need more fuel and then imo, a fmic.

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

Sweet, and to get more fuel i need injectors, adjustable fuel regulator, and dsm link right, or a chip set for 500cc or 600cc injectors? Can't I get away with just putting the 16g in and boosting a little bit more then 14psi? How much can I boost my 14b with a manual boost controller with a stock set up before I get into trouble then?

I pretty much need everything on this list, http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=197035
and it makes no sense to have a 16g turbo that spools slower be set at the same psi as a 14b right?

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

If you were to just throw on a 16g you probably wont make more power unless you adjust your fuel setup so you can raise up the boost. One thing you need to consider is 14psi on a 14b is much different than 14psi on a gt42r haha. So yea on a 14b you can push the boost up a little more than stock, but with a 16g, 14psi is already somewhat more than stock. lmk if that doesn't makes sence, I just woke up.

You could probably get away without an afpr for now, but I would look into it in the future. You could also probably settle for an safc instead of the spendy dsmlink if you aren't planning on making mad power. I would stay away from chips for the only fact that you can't modify your own tune as far as I know.

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

How about both cars then lol

Re: SMIC with big16g?
 

First off, you won't need a FPR until you are running multiple fuel pumps.

Second, unless you have some way of tuning there is no point in turning the boost up even a pound or two.
