Performance and Efficiency: The dual SMIC upgrade features a high-density bar & plate core that rivals the performance of front mount intercoolers (FMICs). The substantial size of each SMIC core, combined with effective cooling performance, ensures minimal heatsoaking even under high-stress conditions. Extensive testing shows that the intake air temperatures (IAT) remain consistent and close to ambient levels throughout the RPM range, ensuring reliable performance during extended driving.
Comparison and Testing:
- Size Comparison: The dual SMICs are 73% larger than the factory intercoolers, providing significantly better cooling capacity.
- Testing Results: Proven to outperform OEM intercoolers with superior heat recovery, as evidenced by independent testing and data charts.
Quality Assurance: Each SMIC is rigorously tested to ensure perfect fitment and performance. Units are pressure tested to 50 PSI and test-fitted to the OEM components before shipping. The kit includes high-quality parts and comprehensive installation instructions.
