blythmrk Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Good luck I am still after one too! I have bought a Wiffbitz SMIC but still require a very good own one too for my other car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysdan Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I'll have one soon, just in the process of fitting my fmic . How soon do you need one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blythmrk Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 If Big Supes is in a rush I will have second dibs subject to some pics first ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 My intercooler looked perfect till the fins were touched, they then turned to powder. There probably aren't any good original fit SMIC's in existence due to the ago of them now. Why not go for a Whifbitz or CW SMIC, you cant really tell them apart from the stock unit from the front view of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 I'll have one soon, just in the process of fitting my fmic . How soon do you need one Awesome. When you take it off can you drop us some pictures please mate? I'm in no great rush, a week or two would be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I should have all the pipework, from SMIC to intake manifold at least. Possible that I have the hotside piping too, but I'd need to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysdan Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Just to let you know it will be just the intercooler as mine is a na-t . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysdan Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Not sure what is classed as good condition with original Ic . It's not the best but no leaks holds boost at 1.2bar looks more like a wasps nest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlane92 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I have a stock side mount intercooler off my 48k miles car. All pipe work as well minus the one that goes over the airbox and through the wing as I've retained these. All very good condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordy.r Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Ive got a stock SMIC from my 55k mile jspec, took it off over a year ago, I'll find some photos and post them up if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Afraid they may look in good condition but very possibly aren't simply due to age, my OE smic looked fine till you touched the fins which simply crumbled to dust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a whiffbitz Smic but have yet to fit it on one of my cars I really would prefer an oem Smic but they are a fortune new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 My car got a HKS FMIC fitted to it, totally overkill for BPU but it looked cool. If i was doing this all again i'd be fitting either CW's smic or the Whifbitz one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Why was it over kill Totally no need for it unless your going upwards of 500 hp. BPU is a max of 450 hp Also in the side vent the smic is not in the way of the radiator and is already ducted to get a good airflow through it. Most big front mounts aren't ducted and the cooling air will take the path of least resistance around it thus making it less efficient than it should be. They also don't aid engine cooling as they're slap bang in front of the radiator Taken from Whifbitz website Recently updated our Whifbitz Supra intercooler is even better than it was before. Now featuring a highly efficient bar and plate design along with high flow cast rounded end tanks, this intercooler is a great upgrade over the standard Toyota unit. This is a direct replacement for the standard unit with a 2 row 50mm bar and plate high flow core, capable of flowing enough to support 500bhp. The Whifbitz SMIC can be used for standard cars or anything up to small single turbo applications and the intercooler retains the Toyota ducting to insure all of the air is forced directly into the intercooler. We are seeing so many of the standard units with age, litterally falling apart because of old age. This is causing them to not work correctly reducing your engine power and the potential performance from your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
