Chris Wilson Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 They are successfully run by several here at over 600BHP, including serious track usage. Advantages are you can keep the active spoiler, no changes to pipework (total plug and play fit), doesn't mask the water cooling rad or the A/C rad, and is fully ducted. The latter is something I cannot stress the importance of enough. Without full ducting from a high pressure region, forcing all front aperture through *ALL* of the core, into a low pressure region, a heat exchanger will be inefficient. I see so many huge front mount intercoolers where a third or more of the core isn't even receiving air flow as it's outside the aperture of the hole in the bumper, and 99% have no ducting, so air just takes the easy route and goes *around* the core. Price £798 plus VAT and shipping. UK shipping is £12.80 plus VAT. Outside the UK I need to quote individually. Lead time about 3 to 4 weeks. F1 / aerospace build quality, in high grade materials that have proven to be superior, corrosion wise, to the OE cooler. The core is modern, with internal finning, and is custom brazed in a single unit to get the same thickness as the unusually fat Toyota unit. I won't go on, many here have used these, as well as in Australia and America. I need a minimum of THREE deposits to make the price viable. if you are desperate for one and no one else seems interested, e-mail me and I will try and persuade them to quote on a single unit. It would be dearer though. Please reply here, as well as by direct e-mail if you are interested, no PM's please, too hard to collate them in one place! [email protected] Thanks!

ianhid Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I'm interested in one if other people want to join in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_s-TT-Supra Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 So very tempted by this as I've just got the standard side mount and would ideally like to retain the active spoiler whilst keeping any upgrades subtle. Are there any pics available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 An eight year old one in this thread, people have posted photos of new ones. I have one here to go in a customer car, I'll grab photos later: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?261330-CW-SMIC-s-%28stock-mount-intercoolers%29&highlight=stock+mount+intercoolers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax330 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'm french and i'm also very interrested, but I had a lot of expensive work recently on my car, so I can't afford this for now... maybe by the end of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I'm interested in one Chris. I want to ditch the greddy 3 row for one of yours and install one of my active spoiler kits. I don't have any power goals in excess of 650 bhp so this seems ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 If no one else comes forward I'll get a price for 2 off, if ianhid is still up for one? Will be Monday when I can reach them though. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Still awaiting pricing on two, I have not forgotten, sorry for the delay, an order for two obviously doesn't get them too excited unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 I can do two at the original price £798 plus VAT and carriage each. The lead time will be 5 weeks, maybe a bit longer though, if I am to hold the price. I would up front payment in full. To get this price and lead time I need to have the order in on Monday / Tuesday next week. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Pricing is correct, I am PM'ing payment options to you both now, many thanks.

Chris Wilson Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 I am hoping these will ship to me at the end of next week, the fabricators are pulled out with race season work, and my relatively paltry order doesn't get them overly salivating. The cores are back from vacuum brazing though, which is the thing that takes longest, just awaiting getting the tanks cut, moulded and welded to the cores, and the pressure testing.

mwilkinson Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Thanks for the update Chris. I'm not fussed about the wait. Looking forward to getting it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
