SMIC vs. FMIC
I have a few questions concerning wether or not I should go with a FMIC or a quality SMIC. Here goes...
1) Is there a huge difference in intake temps between a FMIC and SMIC?
2) If I get a FMIC, am I going to increase my chances of overheating by not allowing enough air to my radiator?
3) Is there a huge performance gain over a FMIC vs a quality SMIC?
4) Is there a certain cut-off point for the amount of boost I can run on an upgraded SMIC? As in, are there boost levels where an SMIC can become ineffecient?
What yeilds the best benefits? I want to be able to drive my car whenever I like, and I'd like a FMIC, but I'm really **** about keeping it as cool as possible, am I going to lose some of my cooling by puting an Intercooler in front of my radiator?
Thanks in advance.

Kyle,
This topic has been debating in INSANE amounts, your best bet would to not get on everyones bad side by asking more questions about a insanely covered area
Search for FMIC vs SMIC, and you will find tons of info!
Good luck!

LOL, just kidding man, had to do it since you took offense to being nicely asked to use the search function, thats all. Anyways, I dont need to answer any of your questions because I am sure by now you did a search and found too much info you can imagine. Just remember, front mounts look alot cooler man!!! Later.

Sweet, my first flame :hug: I think the rest of you are slacking, at this rate I'll never get broken in.
Oh, and I couldn't care less about the 'look' of a frontmount. Function>Form.
Thanks for the input everyone.

Comon guys, take it easy on him!
LET ME DOIT!!
GODDAM NEWBIE, Search!
Newbie ----> <---- ApneaBlue
No worries dude, it's all in good fun...This comes up quite often that's why these guys get so tweaked out that they have to answer the same questions over and over. Just when you think you have an original problem or question, you find out it was covered about two years ago...exhaust the search function, lots of good info here. Enjoy!

You are the exception then, FMIC cars usually overheat after a couple of laps and VIR and have to come and cool down, and that is with an upgraded radiator.

I know a lot of people that race Rx-7s and none of them use front mounts, and for good reason. It's a nice rice option though and works better at the strip, where you might have a good chance of impressing somebody by pushing the gas pedal down all the way. Flame me please lol.
