Not a fan of the Plazmaman stuff, never seems to fit correctly every time. There are plenty of great intercoolers that don't cost as much as Nismo.

http://www.nengun.com/has heaps available but if you really want the Nismo one your going to have to have a look around.

Nismo have discontinued the 100mm intercooler, only way to buy it now is privately either new at around $2000 or second hand over $1500! Try ring around tuner shops that might have one laying around. It's a sort after part now as nismo no longer makes them. If hks or arc won't do it for you then keep an eye out and buy it straight away when one shows up. You will be paying a premium thats for sure. I bought my used in mint condition by harrassing the tuner shop mechanic constantly until he sold it to me. Good luck hunting!

Fitted one today on a 34R, zero issues with fitment.

just leave the stock one on then.. if you're not making massive HP and your IATs are fairly low there's no need to upgrade an intercooler.

It's like upgrading a fuel pump on your stock Honda Civic GLi.. won't make more power.

Nismo intercooler installed with intercooler hard pipe does give you a bit more power and better response with a tune, but will cost you around $2500 for parts and $800 for a tune so total around $3300. Quiet a bit of money for the gains, but the smile on your face every time you see the nismo sign on the intercooler and the scared shitless wrx driver you are about to pass, priceless!

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.

      First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
