Horsepower from dyno (if dynoed)
See link under my username, this was on a mustang dyno which gives low numbers so not a good comparison to go off of. I have run 7.6 seconds in the 1/8 mile with this setup.
 
I had one on my car for about 4 months then moved to a FMIC. Its not a bad IC if your not trying to get too serious.

Turbo type-BIG16G ported
Amount of boost-20 PSI daily, 24 PSI racing
Type of fuel pump-Walboro 190 LPH
Size of injectors-550cc
Octane of fuel-93 & 94 octane
Type of air metering (ex: stock, GM MAF)-MafT setup
Horsepower from dyno (if dynoed)-N/A

Thanks for the feedback.
 
I'm lookin to get a supra smic cause i can't afford the fmic right now. How much better is it compared to the stock one. I have a 99 Gst with a evo 16g and manifold, 255 pump, exhaust, downpipe, intake, 650cc, AEM fuel rail, 10mm wires, ngk plugs and greddy BOV. My car is still in pieces now but should i get the supra smic for now. Thanx.

I'm not sure because I haven't installed mine yet. I don't want a fmic because I don't want to deal with overheating issues, plumbing, and losing my air conditioning and steel bumper. Maybe some other Supra smic users will chime in later with more info.

No dyno, because a Supra SMIC plus a slammed DSM = the Supra SMIC getting ripped out. I am not a fan of the Supra SMIC. Put forth the extra money and buy FMIC.

Thanks for the feedback. As for the comment, not everyone cares for a fmic, (see previous post) and since my car is not slammed the plumbing being too low shouldn't be a problem for me.
 
I had one one my old Spyder.

Turbo - T25
Boost - 16psi
Fuel - Re-wired Stocker
Injectors - Stock 450cc
Octane - 93
Stock 2G MAF
No Dyno.

At the time I lived in Florida, it would still heatsoak bigtime in the summer. In the colder months it was a noticeable difference though. Not really worth it now that I look back and can compare it to my GVR4 with a FMIC.
 
So the general idea seems to be just suck it up and get the fmic.

The general idea is to post what type of setup you have if you've got a Supra smic. Not the "suck it up get a fmic crap" you're hollering. I will repeat this especially for the mentally challenged...

I D O N T care about if you think a fmic is da bomb because this thread is for the SUPRA SIDE MOUNT INTERCOOLER.

Your comment is as dumb as me telling you to suck it up and buy an EVOVIII over your DSM because your DSM isnt as efficient.

There are some people that have had great sucess with this core and THATS what I'm looking for. If you havent had success with it thats fine too.
 
Sorry I haven't used one yet, but in my opinion I would go with the supra smic. I have one just waiting to be installed and it is twice as big as the stock'er. And from what I have read it is a really good upgrade, for the price. So I plan on installing it on my car when I get back.

Yeah I like FMIC but I'm cheap so I didn't want to spend the extra money for one. I think if you already have one lying around why not just install it. So I'm for installing it. :thumb:
 
ill just get an FMIC right away.. ive read too many people who have come from some bigger sidemount then end up just getting an FMIC later on anyways.. do it the first time save time, money and trouble. just IMO though
 
how much are you guys paying for the supre SMIC? I have a friend who has one and a Starion FMIC but hasn't decided which one to run yet.

It just seems that if you're gonna drop the money on an aftermarket intercooler setup you might as wheel go with a FMIC, but that''s just my opinion because of full FMIC w/piping setups for around $500
 
Thanks for posting this - I have a Supra sidemount sitting in my garage that I picked up for about $100... debating whether or not to spend the time putting it in.
 
I too am interested in the supra sidemount. I'd like to hear people's setups and what they've done with it. I'm with the author, if I wanted to hear about FMIC's I'd have asked about FMIC's this is like all the turbo guys that tell the NT guys that they "should sell the car and just get a turbo" or the AWD guys to the FWD guys. Stay with what he's asking...we all no that a front mount provides more flow and coller charges...that's not what's being asked.

Hippie, that's impossible seeing as you almost lost your pinky and plus GET A FMIC.

THANK YOU! :thumb:

This is NOT a fmic vs Supra sidemount intercooler thread.

Check this out. Most people that end up going with a fmic feel as if they need more power thus more cooling right?

Well I DONT. I'm happy with the turbo I have and I KNOW I dont want a fmic. Not that this part applies to you directly but for those who say stop being cheap is who this is for.

Once again here are my reasons for NOT wanting a fmic.
1. I dont care to lose my front bumper.
2. I dont care to lose any of my a/c components.
3. I dont care to run longer plumbing.
4. I dont care to deal with overheating issues and purchasing Spal fans.
5. I dont care what anyone thinks about my decision to go with an upgraded smic.

There are a few DSM vendors that sell upgraded smic and I would even go with one of theirs as opposed to a fmic.
 
Every SMIC that I have seen with a upgraded turbo has heat soaked. 16g with a upgraded SMIC on a 30 degree day on the dyno, heat soaked! Go ahead, its not my money and not my car. But why are ignoring the facts when your trying to make your car go fast? Do you want it to go slower than its capable of??

And you say this should not be a Supra SMIC vs FMIC. Well, its impossible not to bring a FMIC up when that is the optimal and best solution since EVERYONE that I know who has went the SMIC way, has upgraded to a FMIC later.
 
Turbo Type:
Big 16G

Boost:
22psi

Fuel Pump:
Walbro 255lph

Injectors:
RC 550s

Fuel:
93 octane

Air Meter:
2G MAF

Dyno:

Have not dyno'ed the setup yet, but have ran a 12.6@107mph in 92 degree weather. The car was pulling timing on that run due to being heatsoaked. I just install a set of FFWD Connection Level II cams and a 3 inch exhaust. I will dyno the car in October.

If you can pick one up for cheap go for it. I picked mine up from a friend for 75bucks. They ended up going front mount because they upgraded to a GT35R.

You are right it is my money and my car and I think my car is fast enough with a stock smic but I want a little extra cooling for those hot summer days and I believe this core is more than enough. If it is good enough for 400hp Toyota Supras then I think its good enough for me and my application.

I have video of DSM's with this intercooler that have run some pretty low numbers in the quarter and also over 500hp so I guess there is hope for this little core after all. As for the heatsoaking issue... I won't be running 20 passes at the track so it won't be an issue. I only care about having a fast street/occasional track car.

I don't care to totally eliminate heat soak you see, only to drop temps more than the stocker does while still retaining a stock like appearance.
 
Turbo type EVO 16G

I've been running the supra sidemount since the beginning of the year, no complaints :thumb:
