Picked up a used Greddy SMIC. Issue #1- Apparently the purchase did not include item #5 from their install manual. It’s called an “rubber air diflector”? Assuming this means deflector). Anywa, as I don’t have one I have no idea what it looks like, how it mounts, and it’s measurements. I can fabricate this if someone can help answer those 3. No pics on the web help either. Please help. Issue #2 - i have an hks mega flow intake system (some movement required), however, I want to keep my stock cover that sits over the front mount point of the smic and holds the ac drier. Is this possible? Do I have to cut the Greddy top mount duct to allow the stock cover to still push air up through to the air pump?Thanks in advance

Thanks. Just got an early notice email from you but I guess we crossed paths as I was uploading the pictures. So to address your points. The deflector is not needed as it was for the air intake and I am no longer stock there? (Forget the fact that the hks intakes breaths hot air for now - smdh). The hks intakes are screwing up my mount points as it comes with a prefab bracket that holds up one intake and the upper radiator hose. Not an easy move. (Still planning)But how to handle the top air box (feeds to air pump) with the rectangular duct that still goes into the intercooler air duct? The Greddy smic cover sits in the way. Do I cut the duct rectangle through the greedy cover flap?Thanks.

1) Okay moved the air intake bracket over by one mount point approx 1 inch. Had to go from double bolted mount to only one and also bore out the mount hole to allow a slight 1/4 inch shift left in addition to the move to clear way for the Greddy mount point on the main frame. Also took the brace to a metal fab shop. $15 later and the upper rad support arm was 1 inch shorter. HKS super Mega flow intakes mounted successfully the rad upper hose is resting easy.

2) Dummied up a partial air duct for metal shop to fabricate for me. Let’s see how it turns out. It will allow me to keep the factory cover box. But I’m leaning towards your suggestion of just not feeding the air pump from there. The duct should cover the open face of the IC and will pad the sides with some dense foam to hold it steady and as airtight as possible. (found a dense, closed-cell foam on Amazon that operates in 0 to 150 degrees C)

3) Next items are to test fit the Greddy again because even after lowering a mount point of an AC line on the frame (next boltbover) the Greddy still hits the top of the mount's flange bolt. If I raise the unit I know I will have hood clearance issues so this is about to get interesting. Maybe a solid 1/4 inch washer with will work.

4) Oh also have a koyo n-flo in play. Figured if I was going to have winter downtime I would do as much as possible. Install on this went well following Banzai and others comments. Found it was easier to install the radiator first and then install the fans and shroud after the fact. Much easier.

5) final item will be a heat shield underneath both the smic and the intakes. My question is doesn’t this mean that the fans are trapped blowing hot air below the main support brace? Or is this totally acceptable?

The problems I had were because the koyo nflow places the duct at a little higher and angled position - first attempts met with failure because I didn’t account for the back of th fans interfering with the test duct. Final duct actually fits hella tight! It actually snaps on and is fabricated to angle outward by 1/2 inch on the bottom ledge. I have measurements if anyone needs one to be made at a metal shop. However my OCD is telling me I can do it much cleaner so I may redo in a month or so. Price should be $60-$80 to fabricate if you have a first time fitment success. Pics below.
