    SMIC and piping questions

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has actually used a DSM SMIC intercooler n mounted in the side of the bumper were a cold air intake would go? Ive herd that its pretty much sideways n if mounted where the battery is, it collects heat. Well wouldnt mounting it at the side of the bumper be a lot better as it wont b collecting barely ne heat n if u made a lil hole at the bottom of the bumper or cutting out the part where the fog lights go so at least some air will pass through be better even if its sideways? Also would using the Maremont or Marwil Prod. exhaust flex pipings be okay to use as intercooler piping or would they be a big problem if i used them? Please, I need some help as i have a DSM smic n am thinking of going cheap n using those exhast pipes. or if some one has an intercooler n piping for cheap, how much? If u wanna E-mail me back My Email is Skylinegtr103@yahoo.com you u post a message back to me on here. Thanks a lot

      yeah but skinnye had his in the engine bay .. and thats what this guy is trying to avoid.. id put it nowhere... i wouldnt use it unless necc...


      also.. if u do manage to put it in the bumper... suggestion??? buy a cheap 50" 8 or 10" fan.. to pull air from the front of the car into the intercooler... has to be worth something..

        on a 14b dsm setup, i don't think a front mount is worth it, more just aesthetics, but this is my opinion, i'd like to get the intake temp differences from a 14b with a smic and a fmic. Alex Ex made the same numbers i did with a smic

                Try out the SMIC. I would think you would have to direct flow to it whether by fans or ducting to keep Intake temps down but go for it. As for the tubing im not sure you can try using those silicone elbows but they run for quite a bit.
