Im sort of lost on your actual question but..Im using a stock SR SMIC with stock CA piping if that helps any..???

[CaEric]

Sorry what i met was that do i use the cold pipe from the s14 smic ?

After looking at some sidemount pics, I really don't know man. For front mount, yes, a S14 SR setup will work with minor modification.

using a SMIC is pretty pointless IMO, be less work to fit a FMIC from a SAAB 9000, infront of the rad

[rico05]

Not true. There are several of us runnings ARC SMICs with great success. If you are not liiking for more than 275-300 wheel hp, a good sidemount is more than OK.

[sideways danny]

for the effort and cost, fitting a FMIC from a saab is the better option IMO

[CaEric]

but iam not looking for more the 200 hp i jsut want something fun and more peppy the my ka

get a 2j supra sidemount and call it a day.

my friend is selling an SRT-4 FMIC this week so that might work????

[rico05]

Yes, a SAAB 900 turbo FMIC is a good idea, but I am a real stickler for reliability, and sticking a big hunk of metal in front of the already stressed radiator is a really bad idea.....especially when that big hunk is not needed.

I actually bought a MKIV Supra SMIC, and yes....it was HUGE, BUT you will have to have some creative piping made because the outlet is no where near anywhere close to fitting. So, if you go that route, factor in custom piping and labor. If you are wanting just 200 at the wheels, that should be around 11-12psi on the stock T25 with full bolt ons (3" turbo back, filter, etc) so the stock SMIC would work as long as you build a intercooler sprayer. How do I know this? Because I made one for my stock SMIC and ran 10psi all summer '04 before I got my ARC M070.
