1JZGTE Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Hello folks, I have a 1JZ Soarer and was wondering if anybody knew whether a Supra SMIC would be a relatively easy swap? I read here that a standard Supra SMIC would fit a Soarer with minimal mods, http://thirteenleftprojectsoarer.blogspot.com/2014/05/interesting-read-smic-side-mount.html Perhaps Chris will see this himself and comment. In an ideal scenario I'd be interested in having a CW Supra SMIC in the Soarer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyd16 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I have a Whifbitz SMIC in my supra and there are just abit fatter and more efficient I think. If the soarer can take the extra depth it should be ok with carrying out the little mods mentioned there. Width and height i don’t think there is much difference to the standard supra SMIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 My uprated side mount intercooler is overall exactly the same size as a stock one, and uses modern core technology to effect an improvement. Whilst on the subject I have an order for one to go to the USA to a customer who already has one, but has bought a second MKIV. If anyone is thinking of replacing their IC then now is a good time to grab a better price woth a mini group buy. If you document minor changes needed I may be able to get them accommodated at build time, depends what's required, the link fails to show images for me.

SPG Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Hi Chris, What would be the group buy price, I’ve a had a few off you in the past and love the product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Anyone still running their original SMIC should seriously consider this offer/option. Its amazing the extra oomph you get from a functioning SMIC over one where the fins have all corroded and powder to the touch; which tends to happen after 20 years.

trevorc Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 how much for 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its amazing the extra oomph you get from a functioning SMIC over one where the fins have all corroded and powder to the touch; which tends to happen after 20 years. Agree with this whole heartedly. There can't be many running original stock ICs now as the fins will be knackered. Mine is a 98 facelift and when I replaced the SMIC it was knackered.

Chris Wilson Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I can do a minimum of three at £940 each including VAT. Carriage to a UK post code would be £12.80 plus VAT There are photos somewhere on the forum of my SMIC, but if you cannot find them I have some on my PC here, err, somewhere....

Marcus GTE Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Chris, would you ever commission a replacement for the diff cooler that the uk cars have in the rear side pods? Thanks Sorry if it’s off topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Chris, would you ever commission a replacement for the diff cooler that the uk cars have in the rear side pods? Thanks Sorry if it’s off topic. No, not unless there was substantial demand, are they no longer available from Toyota? I'd need to have the original rusted pipework formed and probably supply new bracketry, too, the cost would be very high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew K Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Chris Wilson SMIC is an awesome upgrade and I highly recommend getting one, I have one on my single turbo Supra and it’s handling 618 BHP There are quite a few pictures from different angles on my project thread below post 24 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?291326-Andrew-s-Single-turbo-6-speed-V161-Build/page2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response, I can see that there wouldn’t also be the same demand as say, the smic. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
