Re: FMIC (abaaj)
Back then, intercoolers were in the $1,000's + but ever since people started to make intercoolers in their garages ... the prices have dropped.
Check out Ebay, I've seen a bunch for $200-$250:

Re: FMIC (BG Boost)
Hey thanks for the help guys! Im looking for something to support something around 250hp. I just want to have a car thats a little fun to zip around in nothing too crazy. Im not lookin to do 10sec 1/4's That one thats 21in looks like it might do the trick. I need to fit it in a 30in wide spot.

Re: FMIC (abaaj)
Me and a friend bought two intercoolers and two radiators from Streetimports.
You can definatly tell they are constructed by hand, but the quality is good; just
not show quality. Customer service was great, and prices were good. Definatly
not top of the line stuff, but cant beat it for the price.

Re: FMIC (streetimports)
Here is a warning to you. All those ebay intercoolers you see 90% are garbage. Johnnyracecar.com intercoolers i have seen up close and they look like crap, shitty welds uneven fins, and super thin. What i did was get on ebay and find someone with a good quality used intercooler like HKS or Greddy. I bought a Greddy type 24 from ebay in great condition and it was only $400 shipped. Check it often you may find a good deal.

what the hell do you expect for $250 and under? if it does the job, then it's worth it. although jdmtegra666 is right about one thing though, on ebay they don't show you but a lot of those FMIC have straight through design cores which don't cool for ****. these are cores where if you look through one end you can see right through to the other side.

Re: FMIC (abaaj)
$200 is a great price for what your getting. This This is a great option for those of us
who dont want to pay top dollar for a show piece. Honestly though, i bought the exact
intercooler posted above, and its a lot nicer looking than i expected for the money.
Again, great price on a functional part
