Thorin Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 No. Save up for a known good one, not some unknown ebay tat. If you can't afford a known good one, then might I suggest the Supra is not for you. All IMO of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Dont put shit on your car which is probably worse the the original Toyota SMIC. just my opinion,stop being a cheap skate!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Dont put shit on your car which is probably worse the the original Toyota SMIC. just my opinion,stop being a cheap skate!! ...and that's another good point, people are running single turbo's quite happily on SMIC's. Not 14 year old crumbling ones though admittedly. It's in a nice properly ducted high pressure area, and isn't blocking airflow to the rad.

jevansio Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 If I ever see a Greddy core I'll put it on, I am a brand name freak & the only bit of "less than respectable" kit on my car is the XS Power FMIC. Am I changing it because it doesn't do the job? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I changing it because it doesn't do the job? No. the only true way to tell would be to datalog temps just after the intercooler on both kits fitted on the same car in the same day.

c8sup Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 The GReddy Spec M is less than £400 delivered. didn't realise they fitted a supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 the only true way to tell would be to datalog temps just after the intercooler on both kits fitted on the same car in the same day. Or in another controlled environment? i.e. Rolling road session with the same fans, airflow etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 didn't realise they fitted a supra Here are photos of one I supplied to a member recently. The kit includes everything needed for the install. http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/4536/fmic1bs0.jpg http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/5448/image012gi1.jpg http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/8773/image013og5.jpg http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/2083/111111gk0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgeer Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Flyby I would wait until you can afford a Greddy Spec M, as Nic said only £400, it's excellent value for that price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c8sup Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 im about to purchase this one from nic, comes with everything. Good price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 the only true way to tell would be to datalog temps just after the intercooler on both kits fitted on the same car in the same day. Is that not a different question though Rich? That is which one is better, not which are adequate for application. I know I bang on about the XS Power & yes they do make some crap, but my car runs tremendously with it on, intake temps are great (as logged here) and it cost me £150. What ever IC you put on unless it properly ducted you are not making best use of it, this too has be proven to my satisfaction when Michel & myself did some testing (same day, same IC, one ducted one not, same front bumper).

gaz1 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 i had the xs intercooler, i changed to the greddy cannot say it was no good but did not want to take the chance, i wanted to eliminate any future problems, oh also because an ex trader sprayed there name on it:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
