Good SMIC?

[bkfill]

doing a cheap turbo setup maybe a z31 KA24DET

1St Gem DSM
Supra 1st n 2nd
SR20DET
WRX Top Mount(used as a side :X)

witch do you think would be best?

i don't remember any others so just post em if you remember

1G dsm ones are pretty small so you can stick it in alot more places then theo ther ones,and they are decent.

Thought about the mazdaspeed protege/maita one? That'd be harder to get your hands on though :\

[bkfill]

arent the SR smic's the same size as the 1st g dsms? the dsm 1 is like 3.5in thick but i dunno the specs on the sr smic's

[Ghettokracker71]

I've never messed with an SR SMIC ?? I Don't know?

DSM ones are decent,but you could proble do better.

Why not just a R32 FMIC (caltech) ?

[bkfill]

whats the price on those? i woudn't even know where to get 1 at man :/

[Ghettokracker71]

Lol neither do I ! I help mount one for a guy with an SR on stock boost from the forums (stumpz) and it fit pretty well,it was just an idea.Of course with an FMIC you'd have to relocate the battery wich could be a pain.

Have you looked into a thunderbird Supercoupe I/C ? I heard those are pretty good,too.

Gotta find more reviews on em first anyone else ever heard of em?

[bkfill]

bump :faint:

Well I know that Supercoupe guys run 11 second quarters or less with stock I/Cs ,cranked boost and internal work..(bump)

I have a S15 Sidemount if you wanna buy it. It's thicker than the stock piece but you will need custom hoses/pipes to reach your stock intercooler piping (S13/14/15 have the pipes run differently).

I can post up a pic later tonight comparing the two...

[bkfill]

sure show me some pics, thx

I would definitely reccomend the mk3 supra fmic....this way you get a fmic, that looks like a radiator, and don't have to worry as much about cops and all....also, i have heard that this fmic is good for just under 300hp...

mk3? witch 1 is that? first gen?
im not wurried about cops so its ok just looking for the best one i could get for a cheap turbo setup thats decent a friend of mine told me when he took his DSM intercooler off he felt like he gained a good 30HP i was surpized

mazda mx-6 IC buy it from ajunkyard 20 dollars

he said a good ic...that thing is beyond tiny...looks smaller then an oil cooler. and its "front mounted" on those cars...but not worth ur time.

[S13Grl]

Just get a starion IC, a lot of people start with that for a front mount. Why are you going sidemount anyway???

Saab 900 intercoolers flow well from what I hear. Very easy to remove as well.

MK4 supra intercoolers are great too. If it supports 320hp stock, you dont need much more... these might be harder to find and more expensive though, since DSM guys use them as upgrades.
