Mishimoto
I was looking into getting a mishimoto intercooler to replace the the old intercooler I have. I've looked up on the site and it has down good for small turbo and up to 30lbs of boost. My question is will that be good enough for a gt3076r on a d16 pushing 25lbs of boost. Any help is appreciated. I have already tried emailing mishimoto with no response.

Re: Mishimoto
The tube & fin design for the Mishimoto requires that for the maximum output available from a GT3076R (from 480whp-530whp) [Don't start the HP crap based upon dynos of GT3076R, this is for reference purposes only] the larger 31" X 11" intercooler be used because the surface area utility is not as efficient as a bar & plate intercooler, thereby requiring the intercooler to be larger than the same HP need on a bar-plate.
Short of it. It can be used, its ok, but for a GT3076R, its best to use the larger version of the Mishimoto if you decide to use it. So say bye-bye to your metal bumper support.
That's about it.

Re: Mishimoto
that I can make as a separate write up of Bar-Plate vs. Tube - Fin designs.
Breakdown
Bar-Plate Intercoolers - generally
-Precision
-AFI
-Peakboost
-Garrett cores
-Spearco/Turbonetics
-Full-Race
-Spoolin' Performance
-Perrin
-APS
-AMS
-Buschur Racing
-AGP
-Rev Hard
-Livernois Motorsports
-Luchkovich Racing
Well-constructed - Tube/ Fin makers
-PWR
-Mishimoto
-Greddy
-HKS
-ARC - changing to bar-plate soon
-XS Engineering
-Endless Racing
-Auto Produce Boss
Cheaper constructed Tube/Fin
-XS Power/SSAC/ Ebay
-Johnny Race Car (remember that place?)
Unknown
-Treadstone?
-LHT Intercooler for superchargers?

Re: Mishimoto
Typically, a louverd fin bar-plate is best to use for a lot of street use, and takes less surface area to be as efficient as a tube&fin. However, Even large tube/fin intercoolers weigh less than bar-plates. I've run both, so it really depends upon what you're using it for.

Re: Mishimoto
I am pretty sure mishimoto only has one tube/fin intercooler. The rest are bar/plate. Also they are the same thing as all the other ebay intercoolers. They all come from China.

Re: Mishimoto
So what intercooler do you recommend that will handle 25-30psi on a 3076r and won't have to cut the bumper support? I like the precision 600hp one but was hoping to get one for under $400...

Re: Mishimoto
Agreed. I mainly plan on having it at around 15psi on normal driving basis but 25 on the track.

Re: Mishimoto
How does it only have one tube/fin? I'm VERY sure of my list as I've used them all over the last 10 years. the Greddy/HKS/ pretty much come from Japan or Taiwan (not china) some bar-plate also come from Garrett overseas. So you can't really use that "china-cheap" arguement here.

Also the precision 600whp intercooler will fit under the factory bumper support on an ek with no issues or cutting required. I can post up a pic later of my old setup if you want.

Re: Mishimoto
I was saying the mishimoto and china/ebay cores you have in two different categories come from the same place. Mishimoto z,s,r,g lines are bar and plate, the m line is tube/fin.
Also the precision 600whp intercooler will fit under the factory bumper support on an ek with no issues or cutting required. I can post up a pic later of my old setup if you want.

Nope. I understand now. thank you for clearing that up. I would lke to see your z,s,r,g line setup that is supposedly bar-plate
