which is more efficient, Dejon SMIC or either a Johnny Racecar or JR FMIC? this will be for a B16G setup at around 18-20psi. Also are there any other brands of smic? i knew of ADFX but they're gone...
brand name SMIC or generic FMIC?

Repeatability will go up as well. Sidemounts won't take the back to back punishment that a fmic will.
I would go fmic over a name brand sidemount. In a perfect situation I would buy neither until I could afford a good fmic.

I am aware, i could not afford a front mount when the tuning special was. I was dropping 10+ hp/10tq per pull due to heat soaking1gnasty said:
those ebay intercoolers have made there way to the front of many high HP supra's.. id use one. There is a great write up on intercoolers here.

I mean crap, an intercooler is an intercooler for the most part. Aluminum with fins and that's it. I used to spend lots of dough on the before the ebay fmic's got popular and I should have been buying them the whole time. With parts with not alot of heat or area of mechanical failure, more expensive doesnt necessarily mean better.

I would go with a SBR FMIC Street set up. That's what I'm getting next week!! Here is a link for you. I would run a FMIC over a name brand SMIC. I've got the stocker yet and I can't stand it, Plus who does not like a car with "braces"????

Good luck with your selection.

I put down 443awhp on my Street imports Ebay intercooler. They cost all of 200 dollars now shipped on ebay. I had absolutely zero knock logged on my 7bolt with factory everything minus ARP's. 1g head swap but all factory otherwise. Definately go with the FMIC route.

Why? They are cheap but shit there's not much to them. I have had lots of success with them on my 240, g20, gvr4, and 850.K_Mans_TSI said:
Put down over 300 on all the cars with no soaking.
Now if the fins break in cold weather or something thats different but I live in Atlanta.

poor quality alum, welds crack, break, fins corrode rather quickly, rocks easily thrown through them
