I just got a shipment of Greddy front mounts and the newest addition is the 2 row with M Spec core (Bar and Plate design). Same dimensions as the popular V spec core with identical piping and requires the Greddy elbow. Only difference between the kits is the core.

Super low price of $499

Wow, that's an incredible price.

 

crap! I just brought an intercooler from someone. :/

 

wow, i almost did an impulse buy just now.. then i realized i already have an intercooler .. *phew*


*edited part *
what's the length and width on this unit?
also, does it come with the hardware to relocate the radiator ?

 

Wow, that's like below ebay crap prices

 

is there any performance lost or gain for this core? i think not but damm that a cheap price

 

damn, i just bought a med M2, this price is killer

 

I dont have a tape measure here, but I know there is a thread somewhere with that info.

It comes with all the hardware to relocate the radiator.

The only difference I see between the V spec and Mspec is the fins on the V spec are a little longer. Performance gains should be similar.


I have 2 left. Sold 3 in about an hour

That is an awesome price, especially for a reputable brand name product. It will be interesting to see if there were any significant losses in performance with this core switch.

 

hehe.. one of those is me. I've been indecisive about HKS or Blitz FMIC, but this deal is too great to pass on. so greddy it is. =P

is that msrp? or a limited time thing?? cuz its even cheaper than any stockmount IC (retail). just curious

 

when the hell will greddy come out with a v-mount?

 

^ For that price you can have one made with that core! Bump for crazy jason price.

 

It is bar and plate design where the regular is fin and tube?

 

Why the heck is the Greddy SMIC so darn expensive? I think everyone would agree that there are alot more material that goes into a FMIC than the SMIC, therefore, shouldn't it be more like $350 ish for the SMIC?

This an amazing price for any intercooler, let alone a Greddy one. Isn't bar and plate more efficent than the older v spec unit, this is according to Corky Bell's book?

 

V spec, not V-mount

 

umm.. this is 2 FAQ's copied from Bell Intercoolers:

#1. What are the variations in core construction used in intercoolers?
The variations are in the style of manufacture of the core material. A “Bar and Plate”-Style Core is made by brazing up a layered structure of flat plates separated by small rectangular spacers. A “Tube and Flange”-Style Core is created by extending a series of tubes through a header flange and brazing the assembly together. For heavy duty applications, pressure spikes up to 250 psig and rugged environments.


#2. Does one style core cool better than another?
No, almost no difference. With three decades of testing intercooler’s, we have found no appreciable difference between any core style or manufacturer. Keep in mind, that the merit of a core is it’s efficiency versus its internal drag characteristics. When sized for a tolerable flow loss, virtually all cores will produce essentially the same efficiency results. Perhaps a core with slightly less flow area per linear inch, or one with longer tubes, will need perhaps 5% more tubes to equal the best of intercooler’s with regard to flow loss and efficiency. Not a very important difference.


so fin and tube is for more hardcore application than bar and plate. but like Jason said, cooling efficiency shouldn't be all that different. its the size of the core that makes significant difference.

 

are you going to be getting more in and sell at that price?

 

I'm interested. I kind of have cooling problems at the moment, so would this be a bad thing to do? I only have a stock intercooler too, but a fluidyne radiator.

 

no! i want greddy to come out with a v-mount (not V-Spec)... everyone else is doing it, but them!

 

Are you limited to a v-mount with the stock bumper on an 93fd? Or will this fit behind it, possibly with a little trimming? And it says it was designed for the stock twins....does that include 99 spec turbos?

 

correct me if i'm wrong but this is a front mount intercooler. i keep reading this thread over an over because the price is so low so i think i'm missing something

 

As I mentioned in another thread, TRUST is teamed up w/ RE. The V-mount that TRUST makes is sold *exclusively* under the RE brand name. And yes, it requires quite deep pockets...

Yea I did a double-take too. That's one hell of a price Jason. I'll take 27 please

< quietly chants *group buy, group buy, group buy*

 

Great price Jason (and Greddy for that matter.) I wish my climate could withstand a FMIC. Still very happy with my ASP med.

Good luck, as I'm sure you'll make a ton on the sale of these IC's.
