I personally think with the 8 inch they're going to test the exact same and since the CCA is cheaper I think he would benefit from this test. But we'll see if it ever happens...

that's how the jrc's mount as well, they come with brackets and self tapping screw's. i haven't seen a cca in a while, but all of the one's that i've seen in the past just had the tabs on the end tanks.

steve your really sound one sided on this issue. sure cca posts on here but arent 95% of his post regarding his ic anyhow? come on, theres nothing wrrong with a little competition. it makes the "lowballers'', like myself, as you call us, able to afford better ic's at lower prices. stop being a narc

ya know I've used both, and I really like them equally. For the setups we do here on HMT they are both more than adaqute.

I'm a little bit biased towards JRC just because he has probably sent me 10 intercoolers in the past 3 years, but his latest 8in IC is probably the best IC on the market for the price.

only going with the 6", its more than adequate for what i need with regards to cooling. i just wanted to know if the budget 6 or regular 6 had any difs in them regarding cooling, lost psi etc.

I think this is a great idea.I agree the units will probably test the same or very close. I have been thinking of doing this for a long time now but I didnt think it would look to good if I did the test and won. Everyone would say "of course his won, its his test" but if its someone elses test then its not a problem. I just want to make sure its fair on both sides. Is the JRC unit as thick as mine? or is it less than 2.75" thick. Is Tyrus OK with this, we havent heard from him on this issue. He may not want the comparison.
I would also like to take this oportunity to address some things that I have read in this post.
1) Who lost 2 PSI with one of my units? The 6" units are rated to 300HP and are tested to less that 1/2 PSI pressure drop. This has been verified many times on hundreds of setups. If you had that kind of drop you should have contacted me for a replacement unit or help with your setup.
2) The point that looks is only half the issue is very important. What good is a low price if the unit doesn't remove enough heat. My units perform. There are many examples of this. We have a SRT-4 customer running one of our 10" units running 12.9 on street tires on www.dragva.com. I have several 3000GT VR-4 customers making 600HP on our FMIC kit. As well as a Lexus SC300/Supra swap making 900Hp on a CCA FMIC(31"X14"X3.5" not a $200 6" unit)
3) I do more than get on here to talk about my intercoolers. Has everyone forgotten about the HMT thong model?

Let the test begin.

Tyrus does not post on HMT therefore he does not get a say in weather or not we test his product.
