Cx racing intercooler kit
Hi i have a 94 mazda rx7 that im street porting i need some advice on a smic. Ive found a kit on throtl.com that includes a smic and air intake box. Im not looking to produce crazy power but i am looking to gain some hp. Was wondering if anyone has tried the cx racing kit and if you could give me some feedback, or point me in a different direction if you think theres a better kit in the same price range. Im gonna post a link to the website with the kit so you guys can see the kit im talking about any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

Can't speak about this specific kit but I've had experience with their vmount kits for the FD. From experience their stuff typically need some minor adjusting and fabrication to make the products fit. If you can do that kind of stuff and don't mind - you should be good for the most part

I have this kit (though I bought it in pieces. Airbox fits fine, but it very tight to get in there. Works like the M2 (which it's cloning, so it should) and scavenges air from the area between the radiator and frame. The intercooler I haven't had the opportunity to put in. Reason being is fitment.
All piping is sufficiently thick and appropriately well finished, but, with the intercooler duct and my setup, the angle of the intercooler mounted to its brackets was not that of the duct. There was about a 2.5cm gap at the top. maybe 1cm at the bottom. I attribute this to my K-Sport dual core radiator which has pushed the fan shroud up a touch. Since the IC duct wedges itself between the frame and fan shroud, I figure the change hasn't let it fall in quite enough to where it should.
Additionally, the S-pipe from the crossover pipe to the IC with the IC bolted to its squared off mounts also had significant collision issues with the e-shaft pulley.
Overall thoughts: Their pictures on the site look cool. But, everything else they're displaying is stock. If you have a Greddy elbow, you'll need a pipe fabbed. If you have the kouki crossover pipe, you may have the S-pipe clearance issues. If you're running a single e-shaft pulley, probably not an issue. If you have an aftermarket radiator greater than (1) core thick + stock fans, you may have duct alignment issues.
Also there's no instructions. aaaannnnddd the silicone piping they sent me was 2-3mm too small in diameter for the IC piping. Cut myself too many times trying to force it over. Doesnt work. The clamps they send are nice, though.
