    Bumper mod question 4 SMIC

    Ok, was washing the car just now and i looked down at the small air intake for the SMIC on my LC and was wondering. If i decided to cut out the rest of the bumper so its just one big hole (do a nice job mind not a hack job) would this make any improvement to the efficiency of the SMIC? I dont...

    Wisdom of mapping a 90k LC and SMIC question.

    Guys, I've finally got the money together for a re-map and I've already convinced myself it's a good idea, but before I go ahead can anyone conclusively state that an engine with this many miles on it really shouldn't be put under any more stress? I've read a few posts where people have...

    SMIC on the 130 Remaped Cars

    For thoese guys who have mapped thier 130s, Are you seeing any problems with temps on these engines, which I'm assuming are now around 175-185bhp, with just the SMIC. Again I'm assuming you havent all got the FMIC.

    K03s + Forge SMIC??

    Just wondering if the cooling and airflow properties of the Forge SMIC will be sufficient enough to run a K03s. The FMIC seems to be the popular way to go but is there anyone who is running the K03S +SMIC successfully on their car?
