Has anybody tryed any of this ones?

I have seen a few around lately in that style. Probably not exactly the same but with the outlets on the same side, really good if u own a car where the stock piping is all on the same side of the engine bay like GTS-T's. In the end its an intercooler and unless u have a fairly modded car it isnt going to do too much in terms of power gains. My car had exactly the same power b4 and after the FMIC install.

thats the legal way of doing it freddy.

but the size of it ? then add up the pipe length.. just my 2cents might be better off with the standard one, just give it a nice clean

an FMIC isnt supposed to add power. i allows you to increase boost safely, beyond the factory set level. a factory interfooler will become heat-soaked with the extra heat generated by the turbo as its working harder

thats why you didnt get any power, try turning the boost up

Upon an external observation, the one on the right is a far superior to the one on the left. A design with more short tubes is much better flowing than a design with less longer tubes.

If the materials & construction of the one on the right are decent, then it will probably be more efficient than the 'conventional' 600x300x75 X-flow aftermarket intercooler. Not to mention easier to install, smaller & lighter.

*edit*

Upon closer observation, the one on the left is pretty much the worst kind of design you could use. It would have very high internal pressure losses, and fairly average flow.

I was going to buy the one on the left but decided it diddnt look very efficient

Also i got an after market xr6 intercooler never used for $150 so i'm gonna hook that up soon (with custom made pipes) and see how that goes.

[southern_tango]

The thing is i'm trying to keep the engine bay as claean as possible +less mods .Spearco does one for supras ,as another parts do for mustangs .some people say vertical flow fmic is better some don't so I will keep thinking about it

[Tangles]

youd be after the intercooler I have - Apexi 'Hybrid' return feed fmic for 180sx. 50/50 tube*fin & bar*plate

ebay Japan secondhand.

or have a look at the XR6 fmic, they have a decent return air feed and would be good for 200kw

ebay Aus $100

[JayMei]

I have started making kits like that, return flow, perfect side, all excellent piping, $500 all up.

NO METAL CUTTING REQUIRED

[southern_tango]

What about this?It 's from a page in japan...

BTW pay attention to the front lip in the last pic...

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

hey where is that pipe running to ? behind the cooler not below it ?

[QWK32]

looks like it, or maybe on the engine side of the radiator at the bottom???
