if someone can do a test with you and a friend.
hold the intercooler on your cheeeck, and let a friend blow on one end, and you tell me how fast you feel the air hit your cheeck.
i know its almost instantly.
and even if your only pushing 200-250Hp, you would want a efficient intercooler, these things do not look efficent at all.
they are cheap for a reason... makes your motor ping probally.

spending the most money possible isnt gonna make you fast... lets juss say this...i seen a car running that intercooler with 15 psi on a t3 super 60 which would proll be blowing hot air and the charge pipes after the intercooler were cool while pre intercooler was on the hot side of things...only reason to spend 1000 on a intercooler is if you wanted to be riding the jdm wagon...btw that car made 308 whp too with that crappy intercooler...

exactly.. just cuz you spent 1000 dollars on your bling *** intercooler doesnt mean you will gain more HP then a 200$ JRCIC. The JRCIC does not have a bad rep, they WORK..any intercooler should work..obviosly once you make more power you will start to need something more efficent but i believe that anything under 300whp will do fine with the JRCIC and they just actually made a new one which supports alot more power and does a fine job.

Re: (J337_UNIT)
I have a JRC 5" and It seems to work good for me. I try to grab the charge pipes on the hot side, can't do it but on the cold side they are not even warm. Don't make comments when you don't have any proof. My fmic might not be bling, but it is constructed good and I got it for 175 shipped.

Hey ***-jack, I have a Johnnyracecar intercooler and guess what... no detonation here!
You cant compare SS Autrochrome manifold to a JRCI. Simple as that. SS autochrome are known to fail!, Johnnyracecar intercoolers are not! They are KNOWN to do the job just fine. Most efficient? no! but it does cool the air just fine. And there are aloooot of memebers on here who will opt for that.
U can feel one end of my intercooler, the side which the air enters.. its WARM.. now the side where it exits.. COLD!!!!!! so you ******* tell me if its not doing its job flap-jack.</TD></TR></TABLE>
im pretty sure you would have made way more power then 227whp if you had a better intercooler.
I SAID BLOW into one end and see how fast it enters and exits, i bet its almost as fast as the speed of light.
and your not running enough boost to see the ill effects of a shitty JRC intercooler.

spending the most money wont make you fast, but spending money where it matters should. and getitng a better intercooler then the JRC one is where you should be spending ur money.
riding the jdm wagon isnt such a bad idea. I guess it is if you want crappy FMICs.
i wonder how much more power it would have made with a better fmic.

hell any intercooler will WORK... just how WELL it works. jsut by looking at that thing, its not going to work as well as the greddy, apexi, ARC's out there.
I bet your better off running a pipe in front of your car instead of that FMIC will make you have the same results.

For almost 5 times the price, the Greddy better work better! I had that Greddy IC and I can personally say that for the money, it is a freakin' rip off.
JRC may not be the best, but it's functional, and if you want something better, you can still get a Precision or Spearco that will perform on par with the Greddy for half the price.

i rather run a spearco or percision before i run those crappy JRC FMICs.

Exactly...and given that they cost half as much, it makes the Greddy look like an overpriced POS, doesn't it?

i disagree...most ppl arent trying to make 500 hp so the big greddy would juss hurt performance...i went from a side mount mounted in the front to a front mount similar to the jrc and my car got slower...the price diff of the 2 intercoolers u can buy lots of things thatll do more than bling...

Re: (integlspwr2k)
= OVERKILL for a car like mine making 227whp..
= 1/5th the price, cools good..low intake air temps, no problems with it..works hella great. and FYI "integlspwr2k" i bet i would not have made a **** load more HP running that gigantor greddy intercooler. maybe some but not enough to con me into paying 1000 dollars. hey i might as well get rid of my mexrev manifold and get a 1000 dollar full race manifold.. dude people have BUDGETS..going with an intercooler like this is not cutting corners its just saying "ok i can live without an extra 10 whp"

Re: (J337_UNIT)
The intercoolers this guy sellys are cheap and great, using spearco bar and plate cores (heavy!):
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33742
Boostcoolers is the ebay ID.
Johny race car intercoolers are basically powerstroke cores that are chopped down. They are tube and fin and are pretty light. Greddy cores are also tube and fin construction.
Honestly, for less than 250 hp you might as well stay with the johny racecare FMIC. It fills the entire bumper for maximum air flow through the fins.
The Greddy, though very nice will take longer to pressurize (more lag) and half the fin rows are covered by the bumper which renders them useless.
I am running a 8*22*3 core Boostcooler FMIC. If I were to redo everything, I'd take a 24-28*6*3 core because almost 2" of height are obstructed by the bumper and I had to cut my bumper support bar so as to not have the IC hang too low for my liking.

you can never go too big on a intercooler unless its stupid big. thats just common sense.
btw the greddy fmic i am selling comes with pipes thats why it cost $1000. people need to read the fine print before they look like asshats. the core with end tanks alone will probally run you $600-$650
and i guess thats what makes me better because i do want the extra 10 whp.

Re: (integlspwr2k)
i wonder if I should just buy a JRC intercooler and compare dyno runs with the JRC intercooler and the Greddy FMIC and see how much power i loose / gain to shut everyone up and see how crappy these fmic's are.

Re: (integlspwr2k)
Wow, you just don't give up. Even though you seem to be the only one that thinks the jrc are crap. You must be right though. How bout you spend $600 on the greddy and I'll put it on my car and see how much power I gain.
