thinking of going back to an aftermarket stock mount IC. most likely pettit CCIII, only thing holding me back is price. please share your setups to see if I can make my own setup for less $$$.

Thanks,

If you can make an AST/M2 Medium intercooler, I'll buy it. I am also looking for a SMIC that doesn't require me to relocate my battery.

Here is an older picture showing the duct. I do believe it is VERY similar to the Petit Duct. THe pictures I have seen look as if they are the exact same as the M2 duct.

thanks. I think pettit is a bit bigger and require batter relocation. unless someone please confirm it is not.

wow I like your setup., seriously I regret getting greddy smic because I still have very poor ducting (stock)

i know i've posted this like 20 times on this forum...

but here's my home-made SMIC. the IC is the same size as the pettit cool charge iii kit, but my entire setup cost about 1/3 of the price.



i actually used a pettit cool charge iii duct. since my IC core was the same size. i modified the pettit duct to be a little longer, and also added a 12" switched e-fan, and heat shielding to the end tanks:

stock vs new


modified the efini y-pipe to make it shorter, add a splitter, and rotate the flange 90degrees:


made a pipe to connect the y-pipe to the IC:


added a 12" e-fan (used my fog light switch since i don't have fogs) and heat shielding:


extended duct:


this setup has worked well but now i really want to build a v-mount

The Blitz SMIC in my car fits with the stock battery, airbox, IC duct...even the intake crossover duct is retained for that OEM, smoggable look.

^^that blitz doesnt look like it would be any better then the stocker.
heres my pettit with a single turbo set up.

Look closer.

Also, my car just passed California Smog inspection last week, something that would never happen with a single turbo, loud BOV, and blatantly oversized IC.

Blitz and Greddy don't make the smic anymore, correct?

The old school Pettit CCII and most of the other larger SMIC's do not bolt up to anything. They are held in place by the the force pushing against the duct and the hose clamps. Only the SMIC's which bolt up to the stock duct like the Greddy and Blitz actually bolt to something other than the IC hoses.

Pettit has two IC's which they sell:

Cool Charge II & III - II does not require battery relocation and III does. This is the same for the M2/ASP IC's in which the Medium does not require battery relocation (may require a smaller battery) where as the Large does require battery relocation.


That is correct. You'll have to find both of them used (and they usually go pretty quick).

can someone measure their pettit duct and ic for me or anyone know the sizes. cause I see to ic I can get but one is 24" in length and the other is 21.5 in length need to know which one will fit better on the duct.

Thanks Mahjk. I'll check with them again on the duct.

I know I know, probably splitting hairs....but actually the PFS SMIC sits on the crossmember just like stock but is also fastened to the duct via two brackets on either side with M6 bolts. The duct is also one of the more sturdy I've seen. It's made out of gel-coated FG and is pretty stable by itself.
