hemmjonny Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hi all, I am in the market for a SMIC for my supra TT BPU++ and i am just wondering what my options are? CW's SMIC sounds very nice and has very good feedback but need 3 people to get one + they are a bit more than i wanted to spend on one. Whifbitz SMIC is about what i wanted to spend but not really seen any feedback on them yet. What other options have i got and where to get them from?? Thanks Jonathan Hemmings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 The only other option is a Greddy one from Japan as far as i know (i'm sure i will be corrected if i'm wrong) and the only person who could get hold of them is Nic and as a lot of people know he's unable to work at the moment If i were you i would go with Whifbitz as Paul wouldnt sell crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 What's the spec of your car to reach BPU++. I assume you're on Hybrids? If that's the case then a good healthy 'standard' SMIC will support your configuration - a CW or PW would be better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 What about this from Paul - good price! http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=196788 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I thought Chris has a spare one left over from the last group buy. Might be worth pming him to see if he still has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnstormer Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I have a 5 year old CW SMIC and its still in excellent condition. Was on the dyno recently and is still providing excellent figures for a BPU. No deterioration at all, temps still good. ATB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Get the PW one if no joy with CW, as was said before PW wouldn't bother to do it if it was shoite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I have 2 people definitely into buying one of my SMIC's. If two more would commit to a deposit I could have another batch made. If there's genuine interest please e-mail me. Cost would be as before, £680 per unit. ETA 4 weeks. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Chris, will you stop tempting me I have to save for a wedding Mike Mike, it's not the wedding that costs the main money, it's the upkeep of the woman for the following 30-years that drains the bank account. Stick with cars - so much easier to Part ex them too:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 ...Cost would be as before, £680 per unit. ETA 4 weeks. Thanks. Great Chris! I assume then that those of us who received one of your SMICs back in May this year, should be looking forward to receiving a refund of £40? If I get orders and none refundable deposits for four I can do them at 720 each plus 12 quid P&P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveC Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Price of cores has dropped, sorry, volatile market forces Estate agents are allegedly getting similar flack With you saying: "Cost would be as before", I assumed you were referring to the cost back in March this year, rather than as far back as October last year. Looks like I'm as good at picking the right time to buy intercoolers as I am at picking the right time to buy shares. ...excellent intercoolers all the same.

Angarak Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 i have a Miami gt one, and seems a very good smic for bpu. don't know if this is still in production. They where made by a company called RadTec (http://www.radtec.co.uk) and can still be purchased from them. From what I've read it is a deeper SMIC than stock and I've heard that you *may* have trouble fitting the drivers side inner arch panel that sits at the back of the SMIC.

It's more than adequate for bpu. Pw and cw smic will also do the job. I run cw smic on my single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
