I was also wondering about this intercooler? Is it a better choice than anyother in any way, like maybe Spearco?

lucas569

i checked there 1st,not much info. they only showed the apexi skyline gt ic as well, whch is also another option i'm considering.i found the apexi skyline ic on modacar.com btw. i just dont know where to look for detailed info on these particular parts.

lucas569

ok heres a pic im not sure if this is he skyline or the sylvia ic so if anyone knows dont be shy!

btw,reason i'm considering this ic is i want all 1st grade components,plus i want to keep my stock fog lights (like in the pictures) not to mention it looks different than the "normal" ic.

The APEXi Silvia Core (Delta Fin Design) is 19.7"x9.33"x2.7" and can be purchased from XS Engineering! This is the core that comes with APEXi's Mistubishi Eclipse FMIC Kit! XS Engineering also offers an XS Engineering Sivia Core (Tube & Fin Design) which is 20"x10.94"x3" .

Here is a pic of the XS Engineering core on a 92-95 Civic!

thanks for the 411,the pics not working btw.

would u know which APEX-I ic is in the link i posted?

InfamousRS

What is better? Spearco or Apexi, or is there no big difference? Just price?

bigTom

spearco is better imo... i have heard a of a few problems with the apexi untis... none with the spearco thus far

VaporTrail

it's the GTR core, not the Skyline. Thats JP's car (Quick108 I believe)

BodyKits NW

That doesn't look like the GTR Core. It looks a little too small. The GTR I believe is not only taller, but wider as well.

lucas569

ok i found quick108 (jp) and i IM him (thats his car) so if anyone knows id definetly would be him.

ArizonaTurbo

This is the APEXi Skyline GT-R core (24"x10.8"x3") w/ Delta Fin design!

Here is a better pic of the GTR Core. All these other pics it's hard to see the differences.

thanks for the info guys, would anyone know the dimensions of the ic apexi sells specifacily forthe 92-95 civic,im a lil confused...i was told that jp's civic (not by jp himself) was the sylvia core (an apexi dealer told me but hey people make mistakes)

sorry for all the ?'s

Lucas569<---- whos about to go outside in the middle of the night with a tape measure!

lucas569

ok heres some more "clues"

1_silvia core: 19.68"X9.3"x2.67

2_skyline core 24"x10.8"x3"

quick108

Uhhh...yeah that is a A'PEXi Skyline GTR Intercooler. I had to hack the bump support b/c the fawker is like 11 inches tall.

lucas569

thanks bro! straight from the horses mouth

VaporTrail

told ya. Dunno why people ever doubt me...

ForcedAccord

Well if ya think about it... chances are if you are looking for a "Sylvia" core then they aren't going to make it for any specific application besides the Sylvia itself. Haha..

lucas569

ForcedAccord the "sylvia core" is just a core w/ no endtanks. It just happens to fit nicely in all sorts of front mount applications.

the tanks are welded as per specific application,my main point of starting this thread was beacuse i like the way the Apex-i ic's look and i'm trying to keep my stock fogs.i considered the spearco' cores but i'm looking for something thats different. i happeneed to stumble upon quick108's civic that has a Apex-i ic and i asked around before i started this thread if anyone knew exactly which apex-i core he was running,no two people gave me the same answer even an Apex-i retailer got it wrong.
(just read the posts)

ForcedAccord

Did you see the HKS cores on optauto?

lucas569

no i really didnt check em cause i was focusing on the apexi's ic's but ill be sure to look at them. thanks for the info,
