Smic?

[t bone]

hi guys. lookin for a SMIC? any advice?
2008 MS3

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

why would you want a Side mount intercooler?

 

[JerAyala]

-They don't make one for our cars
-You would need an aftermarket bumper that ducts air to the fender
-You would need to custom fabricate your IC plumbing

If you don't like the TMIC design, a FMIC is the only logical way for you to go, my friend.

Wow...LOL. This is a first.

You realize it would have to be like 1/3 the size of the stocker?

What car did you have before this? Supra/Audi/VW?

 

[t bone]

my mistake guys..........TMIC. sorry tryin to work also!!

 

[JerAyala]

If a TMIC is what you're lookin for, I hear nothin but good things about the ETS.

 

[sluflyer06]

That was close.

I know ETS makes good stuff for the Evo's.

 

[coyfish]

Also a sale going on for the ETS TMIC for 500 bucks instead of 600. Not sure how long its going to last so im going to try and pick one up soon.

 

[t bone]

can you tell me what to expect? I have the dp/RP ans nano now.......

 

[JerAyala]

I know over at PG, they've got dyno charts showing 20 whp, 20 lb/ft torque gains on a stock speed3.

Im looking for a TMIC instead of the SMIC I have for my MSP... wanna trade? LOL just picking on you man

 

[CWPspeed3]

the ETS 3.25" has dyno sheets showing 20hp and 20ftlbs gains. I dont know what other supporting mods that included though.

**oops someone beat me to it...

 

[sleeper3]

I have an ETS I'll sell you...

 

[t bone]

ok how much?

 

[mikespeed3]

I'm sure it does. I had 4 different TMIC's on my Subaru ranging up to ones costing $800. Then i went FMIC, power delivery is much more consistent and there is no such thing as heatsoak.

< is sad to be back to a tmic after finally ridding myself of them.

 

[sleeper3]

I'm thinking $500 or so... the only thing I don't have is the bolts that hold the shroud in place, because I never used the shroud... in fact, I'll have to see if I can find that. I'm sure it's somewhere in my apartment. it's the 3.5" by the way.

[mikespeed3]

haha *koff* erm... i mean, yes

actually the 3.5" is good, for the price

 

[PCspeed3]

spoiler mount intercoolers are great!
