tomgeer Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Get a greddy from nic (import pimp) or envy might be doing a deal, I wouldn't get a cheap one if I were you. I can second that a greddy FMIC will fit straight in to your supra and comes with relocation kits for components that may get in your way. Highly recommended and never been a problem since I fitted mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 HKS FMICs are ace too. They come with the same type of stuff (i.e. relocation brackets for the coolant expansion tank and everything else you need) as the GReddy one. No dramas with mine at all.

I have the R spec and yes its good but way overpriced in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milton79 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 usual china made cheap stuff mate, i'd rather keep my car standard than fit that junk on it. same with xs power junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy W Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 If it were a choice out of them both I'd personally go with the Xs Power one, Fair play they aren't top standard but at least you know what you are gonna be getting as oppose to buying the unknown in your first link. Having said that, the Xs Power one is £320, surely the Greddy Type LS isn't too far out of reach. I went for one of these http://www.uvworldwide.co.uk/toyota-supra-jza80-autobahn-intercooler-kit-p-2126.html Managed to pick it up for £210 brand new and delivered via Ebay. No problems with fitment and an improvement over my crumbling side mount. Although I did have to source an alternative expansion bottle, opting for one of Jonhd-Mkiv's polished numbers.

Tom Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I've seen a couple of ebay fmic's 1st hand and they quality was suprisingly good, obviously it depends which one your buying but the core size was decent and the welding was very nice too.

paul mac Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 what do you think of this fmic kit? is a 3inch thick/2.5inch pipe bore ok for a bpu supra? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360117750350&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&viewitem= this xs power one is slightly more expensive: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250320017287 opinions please until one of the boo boys above actually come up with some figures to back up their views i will say the XS power doesn't look to bad, its bar and plate construction so not quite as efficient as tube and fin design but unless you plan on running 900hp this shouldn't be an issue the end tanks look a good shape as well, as mentioned above i am sure there will be a bit of buggering about to get it to fit but if you dont mind that then it looks a reasonable buy, if you do get either of these i would definately get it pressure tested before fitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) I ran XS-Power for quite some time, never had any issues with it (circa 500bhp single), in the end I replaced it with a massive Greddy 4-Row, and to tell you the truth I never really noticed that much of an improvement (maybe on red hot days it would show). As always get it ducted for optimal performance Edited December 20, 2008 by jevansio (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I have the R spec and yes its good but way overpriced in my opinion. They're cheaper than the equivalent GReddy 3 Row and better design IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
