Hey Lucian are you going to paint it yourself? Did you paint the engine bay?

Yeah looks good Lucian!
If you are going to paint it yourself give us some tips, from what I have read the roof is the biggest bitch to paint and I want to do mine too.

Thats got to be a great feeling, I'm impressed on how far you've come in such a short period of time but then again I know this isn't your first rodeo. Maybe a few other members on the board can take a lesson from this 'Blitz' build and get moving (you know who you are)... I've been trying to do a little bit of work every day to get it done But I agree. It's a lot of fun driving them, I can't wait to finish it and be able to drive it whenever I want! Hey Lucian are you going to paint it yourself? Did you paint the engine bay? Yep I will be painting it myself. The engine bay I only touched up some spots. 90% of what you see under there is the original paint. Yeah looks good Lucian!
If you are going to paint it yourself give us some tips, from what I have read the roof is the biggest bitch to paint and I want to do mine too. Thanks Bryan. Long flat surfaces I do find a little trickier than just say, a fender. I've never painted a roof on a DSM, the old red one I left the roof original since the paint was good on it. This time around I'm doing my roof, fenders, and hatch as well as a friend's roof that same day (also a 1G). I have new tools to use this time around so it should come out nice I hope. The hardest part is the prep for the paint. Are we gonna see this beast in Norwalk Lucian? I plan to have it there

You know, I bet a nice, cheap VRSF intercooler would make it look even better and match that CF hood

Cooling issues from rad being blocked by a front mount and lower spool time? I tested my duct on the highway on my way to and from your house, 180deg constant without fans. and a 1/4 tank for the trip to and from Kitchener to Brampton. I know it's better for higher power and extra cooling, but for what I need it for, it's not needed. All I want out of the 1g is a quick daily, good on gas that can possibly later on do some Auto-X. Worse comes to worse, I have a water injection kit itching to get used

Out of curiosity, how low does the Supra Side Mount on Sandra's car sag relative to the bottom of the car? That's how low mine sags, couldn't bring it up anymore than that due to how I mounted it. I do agree, ease of installation/price and gains are unequal to anything a FMIC can bring to the table. Yes, I do realize that Stephen. I do actually have FMICs for both my cars in storage (both of which are long route so I can switch easily from one set up to another if I ever chose to do so). I have more DSM parts than you can shake a stick at I just don't see their purpose on a daily though. It also attracts unwanted attention from both the local police who love to bug anyone with modded cars in Brampton/Toronto and all the "yo bro" types that love to rev at anything with shiny bits sticking out lol Heck I was on the verge of buying an ETS street kit anodized black for the 2g a little while back as a "just in case" future part but decided against it. A good water injection (no need for meth) can help my SMIC perform just as good as any FMIC out there if not better, and only kicks in when I truly need it, unlike a FMIC that can't be switched on and off. I also like being different and keeping things simple. Less chances of things going wrong and this car has been problematic since day 1!

again.....this is a DAILY.
Per the logical sense, yes it will spool quicker. Fills up quicker, piping is short. That's just math. Is it something that I'll likely see a difference while driving, probably not. But it will spool quicker, especially on already quick spooling turbos. fact.

Usually, it is not necessary to upgrade the intercooler when raising boost levels. The pressure drop contributed by the intercooler is proportional to it's flow (CFM) squared. This relationship shows that it is highly unlikely the change resulting in loss from higher boost levels will require a larger intercooler. If there is a significant change however, such as 40% or 50%, then a larger intercooler may be necessary. Pressure loss, or pressure drop, refers to the change in pressure when comparing the air entering the intercooler with the exiting air. This change is mostly affected by the internal flow area of the intercooler. Flow loss, however, is measured not just with pressure loss but with how much restriction to airflow exists. Maximum performance can be obtained if the pressure loss is kept below 1.0 to 1.5 psi. Anything in excess of these numbers, especially higher than 3.8 psi, and the intercooler is not properly fitted for the application which results in hindered performance and dramatically decreased functionality of the intercooler system itself. Too small of a core, and you will restrict the potential of the turbo by not allowing the charge air to be cooled adequately.
Directly copied from Garrett. So you have a Greddy 18G on your car? Tell me more about how you have a properly sized cooler for your car.... Lets here this math you speak of... You have just been served

You have just been served Absolutely, but this a daily, never abused and not boosting more than 15 psi at the moment (and probably ever). Purposely made to save gas and have a bit of ummpphh when needed. So yes, per your logic and your copy and paste from Garrett, this intercooler will do what it's suppose to. Not to mention, unlike many SMIC users, I have it properly ducted and cleaned thoroughly in and out before use. You're thinking taking it to the limit, boosting way higher (with 40-50% changes in CFM and most likely be at or higher than the sweet spot of the turbo). In which case you'd be right. This isn't the case here. As for the math, pay me for my time and I'll have a model made for you via Fluent to show you that at my boost level, it does indeed do what I'm saying. I know when you're pushing it to the limit you need a FMIC...hence why I have 2 sets (one for each car) in storage if I ever wish to change my vision on the cars. As a daily like I have....not needed it's just wasted money. So again, what are you serving? I have the day off today, I'd love a nice cold beer
