I'm looking to buy a black FMIC, however I'm not too sure what a good brand/quality to look for. The only one I could find from my short search is from just jap Cooling pro stealth series (black edition).

Can anyone verify if this is a good FMIC for my r34 GTT, or can recommend a better one? Looking for one price range between $400-700.

Cheers!

Define "good kit". The problem there is everyone's needs/wants are different. The kit you linked is a return flow one. That means you can keep the intercooler pipework running through the original holes in/out the engine bay, but the downside is that the core is smaller than you can fit in with a conventional design. If you're looking to make lots of power then the smaller core might be a bit limiting. If you're looking to put a front facing plenum on (although I can't imagine why you would) then a return flow cooler would definitely be the wrong choice.

Well i don't plan on jumping into crazy engine mods anytime soon, so something small like the return flow one will be good for now, just wondering if the one from just jap is actually a decent intercooler, or should i not waste my money on it? I want to get at least 200kw within the next year, so will the smaller one be too small, or a good size?

cheers for the info

Any yumcha kit will fine, I made 246kW with a full eBay ling long cooler and ling long piping... there are guys making over 300kW with bing bong spec kits from eBay.

FYI, you can make 200kW on a stock R34 GT-t SMIC no wokkas :)

Yea obviously i brought a plain silver one, either black or silver ones are fine, there both the same as far as cooling wise id imagine. As far as i knew thought they only sold the one type of fmic

man I think the whole "you need a rediculously expensive cooler to make big power" arguement is a load of bs...

Just have a look at the RB30's coming out of Maatouks with chinese intercoolers making redicuolus power and running low 6 sec passes.

Pretty much shuts up all the non believers.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
