Theres a review of these on the rx7club.com forum, just search on xspower smic and you should find it.

Well Ive been looking at this kit for about a year now, so tempted but been told that increasing the size of the IC is pointless as the airflow is so poor it'll probably be bad for the rex as it'll end up with more heat soak than cooling efficiency....

From the look of all the comments on the rx7club website it looks pretty shabby if you ask me. I'd rather go for water injection than risk that!

it may just be the location of the intercooler, but there is no doubt the efficiency of a IC. Wonder why there is a lack of FMIC available for the FD.
