Hmm..looks very interesting as I'm looking to install a FMIC and run the piping back through the stock holes.

I reckon it might be a Chinese made cooler but who knows my guess is good as anyone atm.

Watch this space i guess...I let people know on here if I buy one

*Update*

Just received the intercooler today...well what can I say....good ol' Chinese quality. But I'm complaining. From the pictures they have welded shut one end and then cut and added the other pipe on the side.

I'm going to get my tuner/best mate to have a look at it and check the welds. But from first inspection it looks alright...

In the box was the cooler only - Nothing else (just as I thought). I will be making custom pipes for the cooler anyways and looks like I'll have to make a custom mount.

that is not the same intercooler as advertised on their eBay page..

looks like a chopped up regular intercooler, and probably won't flow the best if that is the case

is there a palte welded between the 2 holes so that air actually goes through the core of the intercooler?

If your talking inside the core...where the inlet and outlet pipes are - yeah there is a plate welded between the two holes. I can always get the end tanks remade a friend of mine can do them for me but I'll get it checked out first.

Well i guess it's a Chinese make - it's what you get (I know i use to sell intercoolers on ebay with a mate many moons ago and they all from China) and I has I have said to mates, I'm going to be the "Guinea Pig" and take the plunge and buy and install one. I will post pics up when I install it and tell you how it goes

*Which reminds me....gotta get my damn gauges installed*

Defiantly not the same cooler that was advertised, hope you chase it up with the seller!

I did chase it up with the seller and voiced my concern of the pic and what I got.

After speaking to him over the phone today while at work (gotta love calling stuff on company time) and he knows i'm not to happy. He told me he sold ones just like the pic and so and so...I told him basically what are we going to do?? Either I'm going to send it back and get a refund or come up with a resolution.

In the end we settled that he will refund half my money back ($140) which I should get in a couple of days

That's now twice I've been mucked around with ebay stuff - but I have this issue and my issue with the turbo timer i brought resolved fairly quickly and with little fuss (funny thing with the turbo timer i got - I got my refund and the item got sent back to me...weird)

I saw these intercoolers over a year ago on ebay, and am not convinced on a) quality, and b) internal air route

in this case I decided to keep searching, and found the Apexi intercooler suited for 180sx that uses return air feed stock holes

Im looking @buying a FMIC very soon also,

id go with either the Just Jap one as they are a major sponsor of ours & ive read good things. But my next bet would be with the MONSTA branded ones, they look like quality:

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
