I'm planning on putting my SMIC inside the fender well, like this: http://www.puchare.com/tech/smic/index.html

Will putting a slim pusher fan on there help lower my temps significantly?
I'm also gotta try to route some piping from the the bumper or something so it can get some clean air in.

btw, I have a 97 EX EJ8.

 

I also just thought of putting a scoop under the car to direct air into the fender well... Has this been done b4? Would it work?

Only problems I see may be lack of air flow under the car (from what I've seen in wind tunnel testing) and of course kickin up dirt and rocks into the fan/smic...

Any thoughts?

 

try it and post results or get a fmic and not worry about it

 

imo its more work than its worth depending on how much power you're hoping to make

 

~200 whp on a Stock D16y8 with a Nissan T25.

I wanna get the most reliable power I can out of it without upgrading the internals.

I have several reasons I don't want a FMIC. That's not something I'm interested in doing at the moment.

 

wat do u mean thats not sumthing your interested in doing rite now. i wouldnt be interested in doing the side mount. a hole lotta work as said befor. oh well do wat u do and post how it does. use the fan please id like to know for some odd reason

 

this a picture from the book How to Tune and Modify Engine Management Systems by Jeff HARTMAN
not sure if it works good tho... didnt have time to read the book yet

 

do it, every little bit helps, i would do it. but i did fmic instead... silly me

 

it will work just like liek all the MR2s. I would wire up the fan with a tempeture controlled switch just so that it doesn`t always turn on

 

Anyone know where I can get a fan to fit on a 1g DSM SMIC? I've read it's 8x6 so I was look for a 6". But i don't think that's very popular...
