Nic Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Intercoolers may look similarly shiny, but you usually get what you pay for in terms of performance. Cheaper IC's use less efficient cores, simpler less efficient end tank construction, some of the cheaper ones use thin silicon connectors and don't have a lip on the ends of the IC pipes to prevent the pipes blowing off under pressure.

Nic Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 The cheapest 'decent' quality FMIC I'd recommend would be the GReddy Spec M. It is well made, but probably no more efficient than a new OEM Toyota side mounted intercooler. The kit includes everything needed for the install, unlike some of the cheaper ebay offerings. Unfortunately GReddy have recently discontinued this model, but I should be able to get stock still. http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/4536/fmic1bs0.jpg http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/5448/image012gi1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 In terms of performance, the best budget option would be either a new OEM Toyota SMIC or GReddy SMIC.

JohnnyW Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Ohhh shiny! A brand new Toyota SMIC look barely recognisable compared to some of the crusty fin-less efforts that are kicking about these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Give RHD Japan a try I got my Spec M for £240 (including delivery). They are a bit hit and miss though with regards to offers, although they had it to my door from Japan in 5 days with an email apologising for the delay!!!! Only thing you have to contend with here is import charges. I got hit for £30 on the FMIC. With heavy items you get hit two fold, one for the shipping and the other is based on weight and size. It can be expensive. Nic is always a good bet though as I have litterally order thousands of £ worth of goods from him and never been hit a penny by Mr Customs!! Also if there are any problem with the good you can talk to him on here to resolve any issue which is by far one of the most importnant things when buying goods from people. (have I suitably pimped you Nic ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_si Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 forgot to say are these fmic's compatible with auto boxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 No they are an independant company but you can pay through paypal so there is a good level of security there. Just type in RHD Japan on google and it should point you in the right direction. You will need to register in order to see prices. Like I said they do sale items and as such the prices can vary, but generally they are very competative even when you consider adding import charges etc.. With regards to the Auto/manual thing, as far as I am aware there are no distinctions between FMICs for either. Still worth looking around though!!

SupraAyf Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I bought an original Hybrid Monster FMIC from Austrailia and it does the job exceptionally well. Not expensive either:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolarbag Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 i think i its cheap for a reason. how can a supra have the same design as a civic and integra?? Intercoolers are not car specific in terms of cooling design only in terms of fitament (Its only a bracket to hold it in place as long as it physically fits). You will probably know the hondas dont come with a fmic to begin with for obvious reasons In all honesty mate I'd go for a cheap and cheerful one if your staying bpu, its a bit of metal with fins to enhance the area that cool air will collate with to cool the compressed air you have just sucked in(hopefully making it denser in the process) The differences for a bpu car running 1.1-1.2bar will be minimal, unless the design is very restrictive...of which I very much doubt, its generally bigger cores so its easier for them to mate to the end tanks, meaning yes a less efficient core design but 500quid less efficient.....I doubt it However if you have the cash to splash a CW sm or OEM will do for bpu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
