cheekymonkey Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hi Guys Had the front bumper off yesterday, took a coupe of pics. Do you think this SMIC could support BPU? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 looks much better than the others i have seen, i'd say say yes, but monitor intake temps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 touch it with your finger and apply a little pressure, if teh fins crumble away easily, I would say change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 touch it with your finger and apply a little pressure, if teh fins crumble away easily, I would say change Doh! Maybe I wll do that next time the bumper has to come off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 There appears to be plenty of fins left to help with the heat dispersion. I'd leave it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheekymonkey Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hi Paul! hehe - you could have helped with my fuel pump the other day. The air was turning blue I can tell you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Yep, that does look in pretty good nick to me. No point in upgrading yet until you 'feel' the performance band tail off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Guys thanks for your comments, I must admit when I saw it I thought it looked like a pile o' crap! I dread to think what a bad one would look like... Will leave it until I go BPU++++++++ and need an FMIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Its looks to be in better condition than mine and I'm BPU... I'd better start saving those pennies for a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Looks fine to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Will leave it until I go BPU++++++++ and need an FMIC You don't need an FMIC for BPU. A well ducted SMIC is better than one with sodding great gaps around it. It won't look as cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flukey-lukey Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 My SMIC 'looked' like that, but when I ran my finger along the fins it crumbled like a dry leaf. I'd double check it if I were you, just to make sure RedM - Nothing wrong with looking cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Not good, but a bit better than some out there. I would only run BPU on that for a short while until you can get a new SMIC in there Check the condition of my old SMIC in this thread!! http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=93169&highlight=miami+smic+install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
