sup guys. name is Jim. in the process of building a Land-Speed Racing dediicated bike and have a 2g SMIC that i will be using for the god-awful boost levels i'm probably going to use. LOL

simply wondering ( HAVE SEARCHED!!!) what the max flowrate of the stock smic is..

figured i have a few mounting options and if i can cut the core down to save weight and space, i'd like to.. but i need to flow 269 CFM ( at a PR of 1.81 @ 12psi)

max flow ( at 20psi) i'd need to see is 351 CFM. i read up a lil on the aftermarket shit available and one of the sidemounts i saw flowed like 43 lbs.. which is 614 CFM.. WAY more than i need so .. if the stock flows even 400-500, then i can cut it down and mount it differently if i have to.

i have built a few turbo 4Gs in my day an was primarily a car mechanic til i got into bikes.. have an electrical engineering degree, and am a very experienced machinist and fabricator and TIG welder.. so, hopefully i can contribute a lil something when needed as a form of reciprocity to (hopefully) an answer to my dilemma.
thanks for your time!

heres a link to my bike build as it sits now, and in case you're scared to click the link, a few teaser shots...

Hey, The bike looks like it's going to be a beast. I seem to recall seeing that a 1g sidemount is around 350 or 360 cfm, And a 2g is smaller. The problem is going to be heatsoak with 20 psi in a couple of pulls. It may be different with a bike, I dont know, Either way, Water/Meth can fix that relatively easily though. Hope this helps.:mrt:
 
Look into a Supra side mount. It's an upgrade over the stock SMIC for those people who wish to retain a stock look. It's thicker but you'll have a lesser chance heat soaking than the 2g SMIC. Especially seeing that you are mounting it on top of the motor. Don't know if you are going to have duct work like the WRX TMICs have.
 
excellent. thanks for the replies. i kinda like this one since it's compact enough to fit under the tank. i'm gonna fab up a carbon fiber tray and direct ram-air up thr uthe core and out thru another duct to the rear/bottom of the bike.
heat soak may not be an issue since with LSR you don't get to hot-lap a whole lot unless it's the end of the weekend and most of the people went home. LOL

i mgiht see it if i drag BUT.. as you said, W/M is an option.

orusing Co2 sprayer could be a possiblity as well.

i may still make or try to find a flowbench and have this thing flowed.. if i can cut a row or 3 out, i will.
less weight anyway.
on a 511lb bike, i wanna cut all i can.


appreciate the input again.
