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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
