thetrashcanman Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Recently i purchased a Chris Wilson SMIC and what a lovely piece of kit i must say can`t wait to get this all plumbed in! i got all my newly powder coat mounting brackets attached and the new Toyota air diverter. Would the SMIC be able to handle 600bhp? Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought it was more like the 500bhp mark the SMIC was good for?

I`m sure Chris said his SMIC`S have been known to handle up to the 600 bhp mark, but knowing me i probably heard wrong! i`ll see how it coupes as don`t want to lose having a working front active spoiler on the car once that`s sorted out.

I'm not sure tbh mate, I'm sure Chris would tell you if you ask him and fair enough, got to say I love the active front spoiler, shame you can't use it with a FMIC, I think I'll just have to have mine permantley fixed down and avoid speedhumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 The only thing I would change is the fueling. In my opinion, your planned fuel system is the weak point in your spec list. It doesn't match with the rest of your parts. You could take much more out of the global package then. Cheers Luc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Luc Ok thanks Is it the injectors I'm going with or the fuel pump that may cause me a weak link in the fuelling side of things I'm currently going with?

Luxluc Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I would do the complete fuel system: pumps, FPR, fuel rail, bigger lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Previous customers have run these up to circa 600 BHP whilst monitoring air inlet temps to the engine,, with great success. They are all alloy, with fabrication to F1, aerospace standards, almost a shame to hide it away. They will fit using stock ducting and all stock mounting fixings, with no ifs or buts unless you have some bizarre front end on the car."

Was I bit worried about the fuelling side of things so will keep that in mind, for now though I might just see how it copes as can always change those things at a later date.

Luxluc Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yeah Andrew...bear it in mind. I had the same thought in 2008 when I went single. I am more than happy that I got convinced to go directly for a full fuel kit. I did't have to change (until now) anything apart from the injectors as my power kept constantly rising. - - - Updated - - - Yeah Andrew...bear it in mind.

Andrew K Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Been out in the garage again today and got my engine mounts all bolted on, i also offered up the manifold and Turbo to check if there was going to be any issue with clearance regarding the lower water neck and there was so i went with fixing on my newly cleaned up N/A lower water neck pipe which is going to sort the problem out perfectly Edited May 26, 2014 by Andrew K (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew K Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Over the weekend i had also managed to get the stock oil filter holder / cooler cleaned up, once i had that back i bolted on the Mocal oil cooler sandwich plate and then fitted it all to the block,In one of the pictures you can also see i had the dip stick tube cleaned up as well.

Andrew K Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) I started to put some of the intake side back together as getting worried i`m going to forget were everything goes! got bits laying around all over the show this will all be coming back off as i`m going to be fitting all new gaskets when it comes to the final assembly. Cleaned the power steering pump up and gave it a lick of paint and got this fitted as well.

Andrew K Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) As well while i`ve been out in the garage i made a start on cleaning up the coil packs and had the frames they sit in bead blasted which has brought them up lovely and like they are new and fitted them back together with all new screws.

Andrew K Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Been a bit distracted the last few weeks! what with the nice weather and getting invites to BBQ`s and out for drinks not much of an update but wasn`t to happy with the fitting on my fuel rail adapter being a push on hose. i replaced it with a fitting so i can have a nice braided fuel line with a threaded fitting, there was a gap between the Hex part of the fitting and the fuel rail adapter and this was driving me mad! so i made myself an alloy washer 3mm thick at work on the lathe. This stopped the thread protruding to far into the fuel rail adapter and also filled the gap in nicely. Forgot to add i reamed the fitting out to 5mm Dia, as standard the fitting had a smaller hole so opened it out to match the inside Dia of the old fitting that was in there.
