I am of the opinion you get what you pay for. I got a downpipe from ebay for my FD and the fitment is terrible. It was a waste of money. I am having to buy another one that fits better. If you are interested I have an extra SR motorsports SMIC sitting around if you want it. It is new $499. http://www.srmotorsports.com/sr93intr.html

 

+1 looks great but you get what you pay for. no doubt.

 

Ebay:



While i might buy an intercooler from ebay, I won't ever trust their couplers or clamps. Let's just say that quality parts are far cheaper in the long run than high blood pressure.

 

some girly hands you have there..

 

It's defiantly a greddy knock off. I would expect it to work, price is not bad at all. Great upgrade to the stock intercooler, I would buy it and try it out if I still had the stock ic with twins.

 

well.......... it looks good

 

ebay intercoolers: very little pressure drop, very little efficiency. The inside fin density is very low and the turbulators are laughable. Similar to bolting a straight pipe in place of your current intercooler.

 

Is anyone else getting tired of these e-bay parts threads?

 

You have this?

 

No Dan, they are interesting!

 

I had one (28x12x4" core). I'll sell it really cheap

 

How many ply were those couplers?

 

ebay ****!!!! no surprise

 

two? They don't even hold stock boost.

 

not yet, but i think i'ma buy it! as long as its better than the stock intercooler!

 

that's a very risky assumption

 

How do you know it is better than stock? I will never trust ebay with car parts again. I thought the ebay downpipe would be fine. It is a stinking pipe right? How can they mess that up? They did.

I would search for a SMIC on this forum. Mine might be out of your price range but it is new. If you look hard enough you can find someone with a used one.

Personally I like my car too much to risk putting some knockoff critical part like an intercooler in it. If you want to go the ebay route then spend a few extra bucks and put a real greddy intercooler in:

ebay

If you already have a downpipe and catback exhaust or a high flow intake you better consider replacing the ECU at the same time with an apexi powerfc or equivalent if you don't want to blow your engine.

 

Get it cheaper here... http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/greddyfmicmspec.htm

 

Looks like a fake M-Spec to me.

 

Yes thats what I said, a greddy knock off.

 

yea but its so cheap!

 

True but if it cost cheap, then it probablly is cheap.

 

cheap+FD = "FD Roller For Sale! Many Extras"

do it once, do it right -save up and buy a well engineered & tested intercooler, you can find them used for 500 bucks in the FS section. Til then, keep the stocker.
