Chris Wilson Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I have 2 solid orders for my SMIC, I need 2 more before I will commit to a final batch. The details are below, does anyone want one? Thanks. Is your intercooler falling apart, the fins corroded off the tubes? If so, its efficiency will be extremely degraded. Running more boost than stock? Is this a good idea? NO! It's not even a good idea running STOCK boost with an I/C like that, and when the weather struggles above freezing it will be a VERY BAD idea! Don't want to spend over 1400 quid on a new quality front mount intercooler, only to have half of it masked by the aperture in the front stock bumper being too small to allow air through all the core? Even with a new aftermarket bumper that probably fits where it touches, (from what I have seen of most Jap products), the air will just take the easy route AROUND the expensive FMIC, rather than through it, because no ducting provision is made. The answer is my uprated, all aluminium stock mount intercooler. It uses all original mountings, and the original factory sealed ducting. It uses a state of the art core with fine pitched finning, on modern tubes with internal turbulators. The core uses 10% more tubes than the stock unit, too. The quality of its construction is superb, and all are fully leak tested under pressure before despatch. Pressure drop, both internally through the core, and aerodynamically, are less than the stock cores, making for a very efficient unit. Pics of the intercooler are available by e-mail, or at : ftp://ftp.chriswilson.tv/intercooler There are plenty of people on the MKIV Supras forums who have bought these for an independent appraisal. They will sell for 650 pounds, there is no VAT to pay. Postage and packing to UK mainland addresses is 12.50, the package is bulky due to their fragile nature.

Thorin Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I've seen them in the metal and they're practically a work of art! I need one, but unfortunately can't afford it at the moment Chris Perfectly capable of running a small single with one of these IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ldor1 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Chris, As I said to you in July if you were doing a new run I would be interested in one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 [hijack] can you do anymore rads and if so how much [/hijack] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 No more rads, the price would be over double what people pay for the US stuff, and IMO the stock rad is better than those. It's a huge core, and in a decent spec costs a packet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Thats bad news if you're not going to do anymore Chris! Oh well mines just jumped in value then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I have a CW SMIC and cannot rate it highly enough. Looks amazing and works as good as it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montezumola Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Very highly recommended from me also. If you're BPU & still have the original I/C this is a very worthwhile performance enhancement! I have a CW SMIC and cannot rate it highly enough. Looks amazing and works as good as it looks.

Chris Wilson Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 I have to order at least 6 at a time, it's a big investment as i have to pay up front, and I need to be sure i can sell the majority of them quickly. as the cars get older I am finding people less willing to spend on none "bling" stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith C Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Is it possible that in the future you'll be able to do 'group buy' style purchases, where if a few of us get together and pay you up front, you can get them made up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Chris's SMIC comes very highly recommended as does the man himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 For now I am thinking this may be the final batch, but if the interest is there at a later date, who knows? I need to take deposits of 150 fom anyone wanting one, if I get 3 deposits within the next week I'll run a batch off, if I don't I'll refund them in full.
