gauging interest in SMIC

[Tommy1005]

I was just wondering how many people I could get to be interested in purchasing a stock replacement SMIC for under $500. There is always the possibility of making pipes as well, but the price would have to be adjusted accordingly, so if there are more than 10 interested I could probably start putting something together next week and it shouldn't take me more than 2 or 3 weeks to make and dyno with stock pipes. Moderators this is just gauging interest. If there is sufficient interest, I will get with you and create a formal group buy for the product.

Very interested. Give me 1 month notice, and I can have enough saved up for it. I don't want to put it on plastic, credit card balances are already too high.

Trust me, There IS sufficient interest. Id say you would have 25+ orders AT LEAST.

Think of how many other companies have teased us with threads like this..., the first to make the smic at a decent price (~300-400) will get hella interest and probably wont be able to keep up with the demand at first.

I have money right now, SOMEBODY FINALLY RELEASE ONE!

I think so far this has answered my questions. I have taken measurements and will call Spearco to make sure I get a good quality intercooler. I'm thinking approximately $650 with pipes and possibly a BOV, don't take that as being from the bible though, that price depends on how much I can get the BOV for. Admin's, I'm sending a PM to make sure I get in all the information I need to go forward with this.

You would be selling the IC alone too, right?

and please not a penny more then 400 cuz the FMIC are about 900.
If we buy a SMIC for 500 and hard pipes for about 350-400 thats too much.
just the core should be 350-400 not more IMO

ding ding ding! We have a winner. Ill be watching your threads, very interested, and have money avail for this. Cant wait!

 

[Tommy1005]

yes, I would offer the IC by itself at first, adding hardpipes is just an idea at this point.

I'd like to see the performance gains, and hear about them.

VERY interested.....

I'd like to see the performance gains, and hear about them.

There really wont be *that* much in the way of performance gains, maybe 8 hp or so, but not much. Its just that after constant driving, you wong get any more pressure loss from the damn heat soak, that and maybe another 1 psi or so. On a hot day im lucky to get 5 psi.(yupnope)

I'm also VERY interested in this kit, I dont want to deal with a FMIC, since I already bought hardpipes that fit the stock SMIC.
Let us know when you get started!

 

[chowhoundMSP]

interested!

 

[Tommy1005]

I contacted a company here locally today about getting me the intercooler cores, but they haven't called me back yet. I will be out of town this weekend, but will try to get the ball rolling as soon as I hear back from them. Thank you for all who have shown interest in this product.

I am very interested in an upgraded side-mount intercooler and hardpipes.

 

[slo03.5msp]

i'd buy one now if it were available for under $500

 

[AJsMSP]

I would be interested as well.

 

[manicmsp]
