What do you think of this intercooler??
5 Attachment(s)
Well, I ordered an intercooler off eBay last week. The intercooler that I ordered is a 5.5" tall bar and plate intercooler. I wanted a fairly small intercooler because it is going on an EF with a stock engine. I don't need something huge, just something small that cools the air down a bit.
This is the intercooler that I ordered: https://images.channeladvisor.com/Se...IC1-XS-JDM.jpg So I got a package today and when I opened it up I found this: http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...tures/FMIC.jpg Attachment 31733 Attachment 31734 Attachment 31735 Now, this one is a few inches taller than the one I ordered, and the core is tube and fin, NOT bar and plate like I wanted. I suppose I could try to contact the seller and return this to him, but who knows how much I would lose in shipping costs etc. Or, I could just keep this one and see if I can make it fit (shouldn't be too hard). The quality seems to be fine, the fins aren't nearly as fragile as my old JRC FMIC. Anyways, so should I just keep this one? Or try to send it back and see what happens next time around? What would you do? Oh... I also got my turbo from Blaast! Looks excellent!! Attachment 31736 Attachment 31737 |

Re: What do you think of this intercooler??
I've been doing some research and it looks like the core design is a copy of the Apexi staggered tube design.
The stuff I read said that it has better cooling capabilities than a regular tube and fin. But who knows. I guess I can't really complain, for $85 shipped I can't expect too much. |

Re: What do you think of this intercooler??
I emailed the seller, so we will see what happens.
The only thing that sucks is, this intercooler is 8" tall. Which means that in order to fit it, I will have to hack up my bumper support. I really didn't want to modify my bumper support at all, which is why I ordered the smaller one in the first place. I suppose we will see if the seller is willing to work with me. |

That's the same exact FMIC I'm running. It's cool cuz it's JDM. Even says so right there on the intercooler!
