Damn this 94* texas heat. Only drive for a distance of 10 miles (no boosting the 5psi monster), and the HRC SMIC was heat soaked. Normally the top end tank is warm, and the bottom is hot, however this time both ends was burning hot when touched. I need to build a scoop or install a pull fan behind it.
How are you guys dealing with it? I remember someone posting a scoop they built for a SMIC.

Get the HRC FMIC. It's probably the best option out there for people with an HRC kit. Yeah, it breaks the bank, but it looks awesome and fits perfectly.
I tried to heat soak it once. 15 psi pull with a S16G on a 75 degree day. 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear to redline, IAT's never went above 90 degrees.

I'f you don't wanna break the bank, you can do like what I did and begged someone selling their kit to sell the fmic and piping seperately like I did

I just ordered my FMIC from street importds, it should arrive by this week . After that i will get some pics of it. It is the 21x9x3, i only got it for $260 shipped to the door. It is on sale for honda-tech and i got a friends user name and told them i found the thread on the site and they gave me the price for them which is $219 and $40 for shipping. I cant wait to get it, it flows well and have not heard any complaints.

I imagine you've vented the splash shield in that wheel well to create a low pressure area for the air to flow to once it's hit the SMIC? If not, I'd be willing to bet that would help out a decent amount.

the star FMIC is a good alternative to spending a bazillion dollars on an HRC...i ran at the track when it was a very humid 93 degrees and even after being WOT through 3.5 gears the IC was always very cool to touch...never once even approached warm...
