Attached is the ENGLISH instructions for the GReddy SMIC.

You can't download this from their site, I had to fax a receipt to prove that I bought this. I think that's BS considering you can download some of their other products (english versions).

This was archived via WinRAR & changed the extension to ZIP so I could post the file (220kb).

 

Thanks, I will archive to this in the FAQ thread.

 

btw, how is the Greddy SMIC, seems like a convenient choice since you do not need to relocate your battery, but is it an wise choice for cars putting out close to 350+ hp?

 

yes that's plenty for 350 whp, the instalation is easy and the performance is good.

 

The ZIPs are coming in as "bad archive" for me. If you want, I'll be happy to convert the document to an Adobe Acrobat PDF for you - PM me if you're interested.

You need to rename the files .rar then use WinRar to extract it. It's one file broken down into 3 rar files.
It's already a pdf file. If you want I can email you the unbroken uncompressed version.

 

Just posted the PDF for everyone -

Nice and easy to get and read .

Installation is not easy if you have a stock airbox, and full size battery. With both of those, it is a very tight fit, and not a simple installation.

 

adam, you can say that again! how did you get it to fit?

 

Yeah, I had to do a little bit of trimming here and there for it to properly sit.

 

I bought a Blitz SMIC . No fitment issues at all, and uses the stock duct .

 

It definitely takes some patience. I found that you need to install the IC first, and then leave the couplers loose so that you can move it slightly if needed. Grease the inside of the couplers before installation so that they slide togther (and can be adjusted) easier. I had to elongate the holes in my stock battery tray (when I had it) to enable it to slide over a bit in order to get enough clearance on that side. Then install the airbox last. It's definitely a tight fit.

 

Just a small note, the Greddy SMIC does not come with a Greddy elbow, so the top coupling setup is slightly different than the one in the photo...

 

guys i would like to ask a question, does the greddy pipe kit fit with the smic.. or do i have to go with custom pipes if i want aluminum ??

 

The 2 and 3 piece piping should fit. If you only get the throttle elbow then you will need to fab up additional piping.

 

There is a 3pc kit forthe GreddySMIC which includes the elbow(compression tube).Check their web site for the part #.

 

Thanks for the instructions! I installed mine without the instructions the other day.

I had to get a smaller battery (51R) to install this with my stock airbox. Even then its a tight fit. I slid the SMIC over towards the battery box to avoid it rubbing on the upper radiator hose. Does anyone else's SMIC rub on that hose? I couldnt use the cold air snorkel for the stock air box (large black rectangle held by 2 10mm bolts) with this intercooler. I need to mess with it some more and see if I can position it differently somehow.

This intercooler is definitely not a bolt on affair for those of us who run a full sized battery with the stock airbox.

 

I had the 3 peice pipe kit and they fit well. I beleive the left side was slightly lower then the right and I used washers or something to even out the hight. It was too long ago to remeber but the pipes were not the issue. That sheild does cover the square hole over the top of the stock duct when you remove the stock cover if not using the stock intake box. It doesn't seal it though, so I used a square aluminum peices and gasket sealer.

Stock mounts do get hot driving in the city with the oem non vented hood. Mazda should have put a small fan behind it.

 

over all for those of you have it... do you think its a worthy upgrade?... i mean i dont go drifting or anything with my car but for the streets my knowledge says that it should be fine.. ??

let me know what you guys think...

 

Where is your AST?

 

I've uploaded the Greddy SMIC install PDF here.

 

Dvst8,

Thanks for reposting this older document! It's been a VERY long time since this thread got some love.

 

I'm about to install this greddy/blitz/trust smic intercooler tonight. Thanks for the .pdf file !
After what I read in this topic, I still hope I can install it with a decent ducting and without moving the stock battery.. and keep the stock airbox... Fingers crossed

 

Definitely not bolt-on, but after a couple hours of installation and trimming, and with the top painted in Black, it looks exactly like I wanted : stock-ish 😀

I road tested it under a not-so-hot day (maybe 25°C), it worked pretty cool in the first kilometers but after a couple WOTs and one minute stop, with stock twins at 10psi, the intake temperature was 55°C (stock sensor in stock location under the UIM) and never got lower after.
I was expecting a bit more fresh air intake temperature actually, maybe the oem sensor was heat soaked and I should move it in the elbow, and maybe I should improve the IC ducting..

 

Install the factory duct under the supplied metal piece
