Need4Speed Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I rate Chris's SMIC highly. It's well engineered and it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 If Mr T is charging £875+vat for a new stock SMIC, Think you'll find the stock SMIC's will be quite abit cheaper from Steve Manley from Oxford Toyota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Think you'll find the stock SMIC's will be quite abit cheaper from Steve Manley from Oxford Toyota. £875+VAT is list price I can normally get 15% discount off the list price but, that still works out more than CW's price. Are you saying that Steve would give you more than 15% off list price ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Are you saying that Steve would give you more than 15% off list price ? I did ask for a quote from Steve .. this would be about 4 months back. But I think it was in the region of £670 + vat (i think - don't quote me) ... the ex-vat figure was definately in the £600's. 4 months ago .. Steve promised the IC would be available for collection in 1 week from ordering - as the item was in Belgium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Cheers Christian - I was not sure if you were originally saying that they were cheaper than CW's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 GReddy do an uprated SMIC, need to double check the price but don't think they are silly money either. ARC also do a SMIC so I'll also check price of those but think they're quite a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this true/lies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 If you're gonna part with £500-600 anyway, then the CW SMIC is the best of the lot in my view. However, if you can find a used SMIC in good condition, then we're talking a tenth of that price, so there's no comparison really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I researched the subject before summer, when I was evaluating alternatives for my SMIC that had fallen apart from the salts here. I've got more info on the Supra part of the 'intercooling' pages of my site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Steve Manley sells them at £663 + vat. £780 all in then I can definitely get a GReddy SMIC delivered for a lot less than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 £780 all in then I can definitely get a GReddy SMIC delivered for a lot less than this. Just my take on it. TMC are far from stupid. I would be surprised if many people actually make a better smic. Would really love someone to do some unbias comparisons. The only critisism of the stock one AFAIK is the plastic tanks blowing apart during NOS blow backs, but I wouldnt have thought it was an issue for 99% of members.

Nic Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Just thought, the GReddy SMIC also includes 4 x hard pipes and connectors. Does anyone know the core size and spec of the stock SMIC? The GReddy SMIC spec is 16 rows x 2, core size: H266, L260, W85, a bit more info HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point with the hard pipes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Terry/John/Chris is there any implications replacing my side mount when it gives up....with a front mount?? bearing in mind I will be on stock turbos still....my thinking is If I do decide to go single in the future this will already be in place, what are the benifits/drawbacks using this with stock turbos??
