JRC IC's
ok so i'm not doubting JRC IC's at all, but after looking at the site and seeing the "budget 6 inch" and "regular 6 inch" fmic's i wanted to know what is really the difference, the only thing i can tell from the descriptions is the budget one doesnt have the mounting plates accross the top and bottom of the fins. anyone know if theres any real difference besides that? 155 shipped for a brand new intercooler, i'm liking the deal, but i dont know what the difference really is between the two and wanted to know before i made my purchase. thanks.

Re: JRC IC's
"I've decided to make these intercoolers to answer customer demand and for something to offer to the constant low-ballers. While these intercoolers use the same cores as the normal 6 & 8, I have made some changes to the way the assemblies are fabricated to keep the cost as low as possible. They do not have mounting channels, only the fronts are finished, and they have the Hawaiian style square end tanks. These intercoolers probably have the highest quality to cost ratio in the universe. They are still pressured checked several times and are fabricated with great care and pride. These intercoolers do not have any options. What you see is what you get. Click on each intercooler for more information."
Right from the site. Only the fronts are finished, no mounting channels and square end tanks.

Re: JRC IC's
I'd never rock one of those. :P
Custom coach is selling for $170 shipped. * (and that's not built to market to "low ballers"
)
Custom coach is a HMT advertiser. (Yeah, he helps keep the lights on)
Custom coach uses top and bottom plates, wether you like it or not.
Custom coach doesn't offer those "flow super" square endtanks.
Custom coach as on many occassions told me that if someone is willing to do an effeciency test with any intercooler, he'll put his up against any of them. Not declaring that he'll win the whole thing, but that he'll put it up against any.
An intercooler is supposed to perform before it looks pretty. I don't think the JRC is built to do either.
That's just my opinion though. :P

Re: JRC IC's
I'd rather pay the extra and just get the regular style intercooler. I think its worth the extra money unless you budget is really that tight than go for it.
My opinion I like the JRC better. :P

Just to clear up some misinformation the JRC comes with top and bottom plates. I personally think the JRC looks better. There's only a $4.00 difference in price so its really up to you and whatever you like.

w3rd and jrc is just now offering a ;more low budget version. its made from the same core as the regular 6 in.. sure the endtanks are square but in our setups will it really make a difference? i doubt it. i ran the cca on my civvic before and lost 2psi through that thing.... im trying out the jrc this time around, ill let you guys know how it goes...
