Turbohoses SMIC Results

[Turbohoses]

The question I have is are you in line to become a Authorized Vendor? If not, hit this link here: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53836

If you are just gauging interest, it's all good!

We are only posting our tests results and technical information.

Is the Fan Secure????? Or will one have to make brackets.

The fan is fairly secure.

Can we see the dyno sheets? I want to see exactly where the HP is gained. Also, any word on the price yet?

The power increase began at 3000 rpm to 5800rpm.
The HP curve for the stock IC was fairly shakey between 3300 to 4500 and again at 5200-5700.

The upgraded IC had a slightly better hp curve from 3300 to 3900. The upper end was EXTREMELY smooth compared to the OEM curve.

Note:

Stock IC - engine noise and hesitation at WOT.

What makes your SMIC better than the Circuit Sports SMIC? Or should I say... what could "sway" me in your direction? I can get the CS one in a week after I send them the money.

How about you FMIC owners... what should I do???? lol

Our dyno sheet has proprietory information and therefore I can not show a copy of our sheet on the internet. We will only post results.

However, some of our local customers have seen the sheet in person. If you are in our area, give us a call and we'll be glad to let you view the sheet. You'll be fairly surprised at the results.

Ok... I asked the same question about the CS smic. You're claiming 16.5whp, CS is claiming 8whp (they have a dyno sheet). Both are pretty much designed the same... bar/plate.. etc. What gives?

If the results are correct (which I personally have no idea if they are or are not), then I would say better flow characteristics. 1 psi less of pressure drop would explain the difference. Also, if you look at the dyno numbers that were posted by the magazine for CS SMIC, it was taken after they had a DP (or midpipe) already on. Turbohoses dyno was a stock car.

We can not speak for the CS Intercooler, it is not our product and we did not test it. Remember, our tests were done with our piping which is aluminum, the cooler air temp. "maybe" one reason. Flow characteristics are another case, again, I can not comment for the CS intercooler.

bump for a price atleast. anyone got in touch with cullen yet?

 

[Turbohoses]

I also would like to see the Dyno sheets. I would like to be one of the first ones to order one. I would like to get mine in before summer is over. I would prefer a deal if ********** does a GB, but if that is not going to happen I will just order one. What is the estimated price? Also, can you expand on the how secure the fan is without the mounting bolt in place.

3 out of the 5 kits have already been reserved by a few of the locals and one not so local.
Our next set will be middle Oct.

I sure he is recovering from Charlie and the forums are the last thing on his mind, but I would love some info on his involvement on this and the Turbo-back he was developing.
