Looks like a nice car, and it has a lot of the "reliability" mods already done. Congrats.

With alof those mods the car should also have a DP BTW. At least it better.

on stock boost and still runing a stock cat I'd say you are at 260-280 RWHP (assuming the power FC is tuned. Get an IC and add a midpipe and you should be in the 300's.


Seems to me that car is almost ready to hit 15 lbs of boost (ignition, fuel pump, injectors). With a 15lb of boost and with all of the proper mods you should be seeing around 350 RWHP.

I haven't seen that one in a while. I think it has been discontinued.

But for a good SMIC you don't have to stick to greedy. I'd say go with either a PFS, or ASP SMIC. Check the for sale section here.



on another note, compare your mods to other cars that have similar mods.

cool graph thingy, lots of help. but damn that sux that the intercooler is discontinued the reason i wanted that one was because i didnt want any headachs with fitting another brand intercooler and piping to the greedy t/b elbow.

all of the intercooler kits fit the greddy elbow. ;) unless you get one for the stock piping. with the exception of any one-off elbows, Greddy is the only aftermarket elbow for this car. (Im 99% sure anyways).

Rpat312 07-19-05 05:49 PM

OH well that sloves that problem then. anyways i only paid 5grand for the car since nobody has ask yet. i think its a steal of a deal anyone think different??

5K? Wow... that's a really good deal. Congrats man! Very good looking car.

jajiddam 07-19-05 06:07 PM

by the way, how many miles does it have on it???

TwinTurbo_SE7EN 07-19-05 06:19 PM

5K? Damn, someone didnt know what they had or REALLLLLLLLLLLLY needed some money. :)

Neither the PFS or Pettit will work with that piping arrangement.....

For only $5k, it APPEARS to be a screaming deal, however, at that price I would worry about flood damage/salvage title.....

In any case, congratulations on your car. Lot's of knowledgable FD people in your general area. Don't blow it up.

jpandes 07-19-05 06:53 PM

Damn $5k is an awesome deal! Why can't I find deals like that? Is anything wrong with it? Blown? Coolant Seals going? If not, Congrats Dude!

Rpat312 07-20-05 12:20 AM

Miles well on the body there is but im gonna be puttin in a new motor that is rebuild and ill be keeping my old one to rebuild it as well, so if that one goes i have a spare.

but as far as running no its not it has bad compression on the rear housing. and hopefully with this new motor it will be working fine. Yea the guy was moving to college station and needed it out of his parents house fast so i talk him down to five grand but with no intercooler.

salavage title is a negative it was a rich kid and his parents would have neither done such a thing believe me. but about the smic how come it wont work with my set-up cuz someone said it already that it would.

I don't believe anything a seller tells me....I assume the title you received is a clear title then? No Carfax issues?

Well, that someone was wrong.

Some of the SMICs require a stock intake elbow connection -- these include the PFS and Pettit. Neither of those two ICs would work with your piping setup as is.

With the piping setup you have there, ICs that would work include the stock IC, the SR Motorsports, the Blitz, the Greddy (obviously), and the M2/ASP/Pettit Large (which would replace the hard pipe from the elbow to the IC with their own).

Good luck with your new car.

Rpat312 07-20-05 01:05 AM

ok ive search the forums on which smic is the best but arent the all the same when it all boils down it the basics but if sumone knows which is good but also at a good price plz tell me ur opinions.

rynberg 07-20-05 01:19 AM

You didn't search very hard, there are definite differences between the ICs I listed....start here, old but still valid data:
