Hi all,

Just wondering what the differnce is between a JJR fmic and say a greddy with prices around $350 and $700 respectively?? Are the performances similar? and why should i buy a greddy over the jjr??

Cheers

ease of fitment. quality of workmanship.

And the greddy has like way more street cred

That's true... and as with and car mod/upgrade/whatever, you get what you pay for. The jjr one might be good for a VERY mild street car but when you start doing upgrades to your car and start putting more boost through it, you'll start noticing problems with leakages through crappy welds, etc. Do things right the first time with mods and you'll save yourself a fortune

And if you live in New Zealand then the JJR one almost equates to the cost of a Blitz LM with the rediculous shipping costs you Aussies throw at us Plus exchange rate pwnage.

And again of course ++ Respect

Gotta take into account the application.

For a 250rwkw car or something similar, a JJR is the way to go cost vs gain.

Although if your chasing serious power on a serious setup, the you might be better off using something better suits (ie, more costly)

At least for the differences in designs, check this out...

Once you've picked design I guess it's down to price and availability

Thanks for that guys, I think ill get a greddy front mount.

The new spec LS Greddy cores are 30% lighter over the old ones, are tube and fin over bar and plate, are fairly cheap at around $650 off the shelf for the kit and fit perfectly, not to mention look great. Probably one of the best buy intercoolers on the market IMO.
