Anyone ever tried using 2 SMICs???

Just as the title says, anyone tried/heard of it? Got the idea from looking at a 3000GT VR4. I was thinking about having the 2 Y-pipe in from the turbo and Y-pipe back into my upper IC pipe. What do you think? Maybe an alternative to a FMIC...

people have welded 1g intercoolers together to make a fmic but have never heard of anyone wanting to use 2 side mounts. Where would you mount the other. It doesn't sound like a geat idea to me.

It might be an okay idea if your DSM is twin turbo. Is it? Now stop that.

Sounds like a dumb idea with about 15 feet of intercooler piping to me.

Dejon Tool used to have a dual smic setup like you are describing. It had a Y pipe and about 18' of tubing...I saw pics of one &there was IC tubing everywhere! Almost better off just going fmic, or even air/liquid IC if you want something different....think about all the possible boost leaks! Gahhh!

yeah, I have 2 SMICs laying around the shop and just started thinking...or maybe it was the alcohol...

The pressure drop from those 2 shitty cores would be bad.

We dynoed two VW's... One with a K04 and a fmic, and one with a larger turbo and all the supporting mods with a dual sidemount(professional) setup.... The fmic K04 setup held/made more on the dyno.

Had somebody ask me this same question today.

yeah, I have one Dejon Tool SMIC and the other one is off a 1991 Talon TSi. No big deal, just thinkin and drinkin

Finish the thinking bofore you start the drinking. Things tend to work better that way.

Sounds pretty ghettoooo.

[niterydr]

yeah no...gonna beat the horse on this one and again say very bad idea.

[TheBlizzard]

If there is no usefull information provided in this thread I am just going to delete this thread. I know its been done before with two of them welded together but like everyone said its pretty ghetto.

So if anybody has any usefull information then go ahead, if not then this thread is getting deleted.

CRAIG

Well for the obvious reasons of 1) complication of routing
2) extreme pressure drop
3) a smic from a dsm in stock form sucks (1g's have huge pressure drop on the inlets/outlets, 2g's have less capicity).
But to answer, yes people have tried, and heard of it, and you ARE free to do whatever you like, but I would assume it is agreed on this board (which is tough to come by) that it is an overall bad idea.
Best of luck to you in your future drinking ventures/brainstorms.

OK, thread over.
