what to do with smic
 

Exactly what the title says. I picked this baby up for cheap and am tryin to keep the whole install cheap...... HMT style, but I can't figure out where to put it and have it work efficiently. BTW I plan on getting one of those civic 1/2 sized radiators (on the lookout). here are some pics of my Intacoola. Please show me some pics or try to explain where I can mount this besides up my ass
It's 4" thick
12" tall
about 8" wide

Anywhere inside the engine bay .. theres been heaps of projects done using the sleeper fmic .

Re: what to do with smic
 

What.........just prop it up where the bat used to be?

Re: what to do with smic
 

Yup. Make a scoop of sorts pushing air into where its sitting. Or you could just mount it in the front. Or the side. Just stick it somewhere where it'll be getting air.

Re: what to do with smic
 

search smic on H-T ;)

Re: what to do with smic
 

wheel well, mine worked great there for a sleeper ;D

Re: what to do with smic
 

if you dont live on or go down gravel roads a lot

Re: what to do with smic
 

Just leave the stock wheel well covers on... its then shielded from damage.

Re: what to do with smic
 

Cut vents so the air has a place to go. A good example would be the inner fenders on a GSX or GST Eclipse.

Re: what to do with smic
 

I'm going to give the wheel well a try, wojo, do you have any pics to share? better yet which side is best? I'm going to plumb some air to it too.

Re: what to do with smic
 

---- HT I payed for a Tial WG from af performance and haven't received it or any explaination, I got a bad taste in the mouth and my ass hurt from getting screwed over. I'd rather get my ---- from real people or the Junkyard(auto thrift shop)

Re: what to do with smic
 

I ran my sidemount where the battery would be, and ran some air ducts from bumper up

Re: what to do with smic
 

theres a couple SMIC installs in the turbo projects section.

Re: what to do with smic
 

F that, i didnt use and scopes or anything and that bitch got cold air, and as far as gravel, yea if you are going in reverse quickly. I wish i had a pic to show ya how i had it mounted

Re: what to do with smic
 

Make an air/water cooler out of it, that pile of ---- is too small to be an air/air cooler.

Re: what to do with smic
 

I'll check it out

Re: what to do with smic
 

It's all I got.

Re: what to do with smic
 

Not really, it's fine for a stock D... I thought I had a picture but can't find it. It'll work in the fender though, I ran it for 6 months right in front of the passenger tire.

Re: what to do with smic
 

That helped out a lot.....now all I need is my F@##$%^ WG and some welding done. onto the Fabrication forum. Thanks fella's and lady's.

Re: what to do with smic
 

You're welcome... (That's my car ;D )

Re: what to do with smic
 

Anyone have pics of that thing on a CRX? I need to get some ideas to.

Re: what to do with smic
 

Ive only seen it work on 92-00 civics

Re: what to do with smic
 

It looks like it's going to work on my crex. I'll post pics when I'm done!!!!

Re: what to do with smic
 

The stupid thing won't work unless I start hacking at it, since I probably won't be able to sell cause I'm a sucker.....I'm going to hack it up to make it fit in front of the passenger tire. definetly will take pics of the install which will be HMT style all the way.

Re: what to do with smic
 

Sweet because I need to get somewhat of an idea how to mount that sucker. Because i am cheap and don't want to buy a front mount.

Re: what to do with smic
 

This thing is frustrating the ---- out of me, I got to go get my shotgun.

Re: what to do with smic
 

What year is your car. Cause the 90-91 have a duct in the lower part of the bumper that could be opened up to bring some air to the IC otherwise it'd be pretty useless in the old rexs unless you cut a hole cause it won't get any moving air through it. I'm not sure if the turn signal get in the way either. I don't remember how that section of the 4th gens are since it's been years since I've owned one.

Re: what to do with smic
 

there is an air box on the passenger side, that's probably what you're talking about.

I'd have to hack that 90 at the bottom of the IC and the reinforcement tab on the outlet, and even then it still may not fit. I just saw a cool place to put it though and I'm going to try it tomorrow when I've had a good nights sleep.

Re: what to do with smic
 

Hows your project going? Any progress?

Re: what to do with smic
 

i gave up on the thing. I didn't want to hack at my car too bad, and I was trying not to destroy the IC but even if I were to use it where the stock airbox and battery went it was going to be a P.I.T.A. I'm on the lookout for a Front mount since I already have 2.5" piping, I also didn't want to waste the piping on that dumb side mount. I may take it to the gun range though, so I'll get some use out of it yet.

Re: what to do with smic
 

this one has also has a smic in the fender

https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...?topic=34948.0

its the same setup but with different pics

Re: what to do with smic
 

All right labatt you convinced me, I'll try it again with some beer and piping from the local muffler shop's dumpsters, I need to got get a 12 pack tomorrow.

Re: what to do with smic
 

Good work on the 5th gen. But I was looking for it on a 91 CRX. I have been looking around on the net though, could have something going...

Re: what to do with smic
 

If you find something please share!!!!

Re: what to do with smic
 

here is a link to a guy selling a smic on ebay that he made fit a crx, I guess you could ask him and see what he did or read the auction and figure it out maybe. I just took a glance, but here is the link.

Re: what to do with smic
 

I got it to fit like that but I can't leave it though, my Crex is dropped which puts the intacoola about 3" from the ground and I don't do well with speed bumps and potholes.


I got the BOV BTW.

I got a ??? for you RK, how do I hook up the Supra BOV I got from you? Specifically the small line, I'm assuming it connects to manifold vaccum anywhere after the throttle plate and the one of the large holes just goes into charge pipe. If you got a pick of it hooked up that would help but you can explain it too it doesn't matter.

Re: what to do with smic
 

Here it is on my '90 Hatch:
