GReddy SMIC Install
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).

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?

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.

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.

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..
