I have had the Blitz FMIC since my car was non-seq back in 2000. Kept it when going GT35R single in 2004. It has been great for both setups.
I have seen the Greddy and it's total setup isn't as nice as the Blitz IMHO.

I'll echo what Chuck said. I've had the blitz for 4 years or so now.. The kit is very complete and I feel it fits the car better. It's also has a tad shorter piping and is more symmetric (am I weird that this was desirable to me?). The only negatives I found were:
- the install instructions are in Japanese.
- Installing with a Koyo radiator (thicker) didn't leave much room for the hard oil line that runs between the R1 only oil coolers. You need to pull these out and bend them a bit to make them fit, or replace them with a soft line.

Or from Gotham Racing. http://www.gothamracing.com/catalog/...roducts_id=254
The shown pictures are generic, not the RX-7 version.
The Blitz site doesn't even show the kit for the RX-7, I don't know if it is discontinued or whatt?

Below is view with single shark inlet expander and SS wire protective mess in front of the IC.

The Blitz is nice because you don't have to take the bumper off to install it where as the Greddy one you have to take the front bumper off. I love my Blitz intercooler. It is a very high quality unit. When I bought it from Gotham racing they told me that I bought the last one (that was in February of this year) in the country. They were mentioning something about not being able to get them anymore or there was a huge back order on them.

+1 for Blitz. I've had it for about a year and a half and it's performance is top notch both on the street and on the track.
RotaryDreamz, there are quite a few brackets that are needed for the Blitz FMIC installation. Unless you're good at fabricating your own brackets, you probably don't want to buy the used kit with only 4 brackets.

For the Blitz you don't have to relocate the AST as it comes with a new bracket for it. You also don't have to relocate the battery you just have to buy a smaller one (like a honda or miata battery). I don't know about the Greddy though.

I have the Blitz also and its a great kit, only thing is if you wanna keep A/C you have to bend the hell out of the condenser lines and it gets a bit concerning but it works just the same. Also you have to move the PS lines a bit.
