1g dsm smic in EG
How easy is the mounting for this beast?? And any available piping kits?

RE: 1g dsm smic in EG
i wouldn't call it a beast by any means. honestly ifi was going smic... i'd go w/ the Supra SMIC, it will flow a lot better and support 400hp no problem.

RE: 1g dsm smic in EG
you usually have to get a bit creative with the piping, either hack sawing/cutting, and then sometimes welding it, other times (easier a bit, can do this just with sockets/wrenches/screwdrivers) just getting a nice get of couplers and T-bolts (better than those dinky little clamps) will do.
any reason your going SMIC over FMIC? You just get your hands on one? |

RE: 1g dsm smic in EG
you can buy custom piping kits off ebay for like $100, i found one with t-bolts included as well. Yea $25 is cheap, btu IMO i dont think FMIC is too fancy. Its a pretty basic setup, especially becasue of the way you usally run charge piping in 5th and 6th gen Civics.

RE: 1g dsm smic in EG
it also depends on what kind of turbo you are going to e running. if you are planning on running a 16g or larger, i'd suggest going with a smaller fmic rather than a dsm smic.the smic will start heat soaking BADDD anything over 250whp.

RE: 1g dsm smic in EG
I don't understand why people use SMICs when the only thing they are good for is heating up your intake charge.

RE: 1g dsm smic in EG
agreed. the only instance where a DSM smic would do ANY good is for a teeny tiny turbo pushing no more than 6-8lbs. anything about 10lbs and it's going to soak. you can snatch a full fmic w/ piping on Ebay for 200-300. granted it's not the best material but a small fmic would lower temps 30-40 degrees.

ebay intercooler: $100
2.5" piping, couplers, and T-Bolts on eBay: $100 |
RE: 1g dsm smic in EG
I suggest getting quality parts rather than cheap ebay stuff, unless you wanna join the Blown Motor Club. What are your power goals?
