Its not on their website, its the April 2004 with a silver RSX in the cover. On page 84 they start a whole chapter of Mazdaspeed and their power study. They added this intercooler, a downpipe (delete cats), and intake, exhaust, up the boost to 9.4psi and some ECU calibration (no explanation until next issue) to up the wheel horsepower to 210.
More Pics of Prototype MSP Intercooler
- Thread starter Dr.Sound
- Start date
"Circuit-Sports came up with a new upgrade drop-in replacemnet inter-cooler design...pressure drop across the core was at a maximum 1.5psig [compared to 3.0psig with factory], while temperature drop netted a 94f delta factor."
This IC gave the MSP a +8whp gain.
Like I said, I dont know, but this 2 IC looked exactly the same, and even installed in a Spicy Orange MSP.
Please email the mag so we can have more support and interest in the MSP at editorial@importracermag.com also tell them you dont want to see no more Euro Lowrider style cars!!! Pleaze!!

That's a good jump. I'm planning for a 200WHP daily driver @ around 10psi. Glad to hear that it's possible.Pirana said:

Don't know if this was posted already, but does anyone else think that Protosport mysteriously turned into Circuit Sport? All of the parts they are mentioning seem to be the exact same.
Anyway, I remember hearing about this SMIC shortly after I joined this site & nothing has yet been produced, so here is the info on one that hopefully will be:
I just spoke to Tom from Forge & they are definately considering the SMIC now that I told him these is a lot of interest. The main things they need to look at are the fabrication (since the main company is based in England) & what type of pipes/hoses they would use in which locations. Right now, he said it would probably be an IC core that fits in the stock location & uses the stock piping route, but replaces it with a thicker, more efficient core & harpipes/silicone hoses/combo of both. Price should be around $600, but that is just an estimate. Here is the link to a similar unit (same price & hopefully similar power increase) that Forge makes for the GTI 1.8T:

$600 seems like too much money.......
protosport was going to be arround $300-450.
i guess it also depends on the internals of the IC, but 600 is too much.
now if that's $600 including the hard pipes, then we're talking!

Vic: $600 is for the whole setup, including pipes. Forge sells FMIC cores for $300, so this obviously isn't just the core.Dr.Sound said:

Pic up this months Import Racer, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet or not. But starting on pg. 84 is an article on our beloved MSP. The do DG's intake, Circuit-Sports dp and SMIC, Greddy Power Extreme exhaust, the flash, and turned the boost up to about 10psi and put down 208hp/210ft-lbs. The intercooler gave them 8hp and 14ft-lbs which is about the same as what I've seen FMIC's give with limited mods. Just thought you might want to check it out.

What about a SMIC that uses the stock piping-
and before I get a bunch of wise guys commenting on stock vs hard pipes ect ect ect
I have a warrranty I need to protect-
If I get a SMIC with stock piping than the mechanics arent going to know CHAT about the difference.
