shima60 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Greddy .... Can't go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraHuman Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 All of the above is sound for BPU level, but if you want quality go with the Greddy unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Whifbitz uprated side mount intercooler, that'd definately be my choice on your spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris and Alana Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I would buy this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-JZA80-2JZ-GTE-FRONT-MOUNT-INTERCOOLER-KIT-/350353439057?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5192b13951#ht_1550wt_1137 I use a £200 ebay FMIC and the fit was spot on and for £200 at BPU level why spend more??

Terminator Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Chris Wilson Side mount good for 500bhp. It is alway a good ideas to spend your maximum budge on an intercooler. After driving around on an old stock IC with the same efficiency as a paper mache intercooler even cheep ebay rubbish will enable you to feel the difference. You want the lowest pressure drop across the core, so being Greddy is the one to go for, if you have any intention of going further with mods.

Chris and Alana Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) Why is ebay stuff regarded as rubbish? plenty well known manufacturer's sell on ebay. I took a chance buying an ebay cooler because I dont like being ripped off buying something very similar because it has a name printed on it. Just for the records the one I bought was made by toyo sport and not the one in the link. Also what possible difference would you notice driving a BPU car with a £200 FMIC compared to a £400 greddy FMIC - if you were going single I would suggest a 3 row cooler (depending on power level of course) and not a 2 row which most if not all look like. BPU a 2 row is fine The HDi intercooler core looks very good from the link and most cheap coolers will be a bar/plate design but Im sure the greddy is also (maybe wrong) plus the end tank design on the xs power coolers and autobahn coolers look rubbish - the ebay one isnt what I would call brilliant but its better than them and cheaper.

Paul372 Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 would i get the most gain from a greddy fmic than the others and would it be more hassle free to fit, because i know some fmic you have to mess around quite abit to get them to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 my mate competes in the british drift thing and i asked him which intercooler i should get, his opinion was ebay fmic's are good enough for most requirements. He had one on his drift spec 200sx and obviously ragged the nuts off it and never had any issues with it. I think its more a case of what more can you gain from a branded IC over a no-name IC and is that gain worth the extra money, rather than will an ebay IC cope because they obviousyl do or else people wouldn't be using them.
