Not too sure but they look alot like a Tyrus intercooler.. Check out streetimports.com and look at the intercoolers they sell.. I have one of there large ones and it works great and is of good quality..

 

That's my problem, I already contacted Streetimports.com. But they don't ship to the Netherlands. So I'm looking into other options.

 

Oh.. Didnt know that.. Try going to http://www.johnnyracecar.com/ and see if they ship to where your at..

Or see if you can find someone in the USA to buy the intercooler and ship it to ya..

 

Yeah, I've already mailed him and got an answer back really quick. But I've read a lot of bad but also good reviews from him on H-T. So I've got some mixed feelings about ordering from him.

 

What u mean they will not ship there weird Call and ask for shawn

 

I went through my received email. Both streetimports.com and http://www.johnnyracecar.com/ don't send to the Netherlands. This is the response I got from them:

Unfortunately not.

Thanks in advance,

Sorry, but I can't accept a payment from you or ship to you at this time.

So I guess it's no use asking again.

 

i got one of those...the top one...it's pretty good for the price...a lot thicker than those tyrus/jonnyracecar ones too...i seen those in person also...

 

those street imports ICs look shady to me. I just looked at one last night. There are pretty much no turbulators in the tubes, which means that there is significantly less surface area for the hot air to lose its heat. I would never run one. Also the cast endtanks, while not a bad design, are over 1/2" think and turn what should be a lightweight tube and fin IC into a boat anchor. I was shocked when i picked it up. I have gently cradled many an IC and this thing feels like it's full of water...

 

Jockobo, can you compare it with another IC or is this the first IC you have? On what car have you installed the FMIC? I'm thinking of buying the one on the second pic.

Netherlands? Wow. A friend of mine shipped an intercooler there about 1.5 years ago.

 

looks like you might need to make a friend here and send him the money to have it shipped to his joint.. then have him ship it to you

 

Here's a pic of it installed. its on a ls motor with a t25 at 15 psi. not really sure how well it works since i havent been to the track since i put it on since i got it on. Im satisfied with it since it really dont cost that much. it has a pretty good amount of fins on the inside too.

 

I got the Big7 Intecooler from jrprp1. Couldn't be more happier. !!
I gave it a little mothers polish...and heres what it became to be...




I have them mounted on my car now. I will get pics tomorrow morning.. -=P

YOU BE THE JUDGE! Quality is EVERYTHING! This intecooler I give million Thumbs Up!

 

Jockobo, it looks great on your car! And if it fits your car it will probably fit mine as well. We (almost) share the same front.

synik, that FIMC looks really great. The pics on ebay aren't that well, but your pics show the FMIC really good. Please share us the pics with the FMIC installed on your car!

 

the boost'n one looks like the custom coach one i bought while back hmt.com has those for $250 or so.

 

What site is that? Because http://www.hmt.com defnitaly doesn't sell any IC's! lol I just checked.

 

Never mind hmt.com -&gt; homemadeturbo.com Right?

Yea, let me find my Digi. I will post pics up after I do that. -=P

 

i bought my IC off ebay looks sumthin like those same size at least
when i got it i found that it was just a diesel truck intercooler cut in half with the end tanks welded up. it fits great on my civic and seems to run good havent found ne boost leaks yet.

i got it dirt cheap so for the price i figured it was worth a shot. Its up to you man usually the old saying "you get what you pay for" is true thou.
