sidemount ingenuity!

[natertater]

so, you have all these spare 1g sidemounts and no one wants to buy them? do what this guy did...weld them into a fmic . its pretty awesome. seems ghetto, but give the man an a+ for making do with leftovers.

I've seen someone else to this before but used 4 stock cores

Some Supra owner did this years ago with three SMICs. New idea that's old.

^ I'm sorry, but that's an incredible hack job for a Supra owner. If I bought that car for market value and found it's FMIC was nothing more than three sidemounts welded together and copper (WTF) intercooler piping, I'd burn the seller's house down.

Cheapest 6" FMIC todate and it must leak like a pipe.

Yeah, old idea although pretty smart. I kind of like the supra one minus the copper pipes.

Dejon used to offer a triple SMIC front mount, though theirs was top-bottom flow, which would give you 3x the flow potential.

They also did twin stock SMICs if anyone remembers those.

It looks like it has a bucked tooth

I kind of like the twin side mounts, if done with MKIV Supra side mounts or the "upgraded" OEM units, I could see that working pretty well on a small turbo car wanting to keep things clean and reliable. Without having to do ducting, crazy fans etc. to keep large FMIC from causing cooling issues.

I quite like the idea of the double SMIC, although that pipe routing brings the cold side of the pipes over the exhaust manifold/turbo which would heat it right back up.

How would it flow? How hard is it to find a plasma cutter or somone that has one? Anyonye consider this as an option or think it's mega cheesy?

 

[Bud92gsx]

I like the idea if you have three stock SMIC's laying around..I wonder if it would cool like a regular FMIC..

 

[Boostinsideways]

God... is it just me or are the Last generation of supras the ugliest thing imagined yet when viewing from the front?

Back is sexy... Buts it like when you see a girl walking down the street, bit of sideboob, nice round ass, hourglass figure, and then she turns around... And has a snaggle tooth and looks like she was beaten by an ugly stick.

It's just you, I think all the Supra's to include the Celica Supra MKII and MKIII (Obviously the MKIV) look good. *shrug*
