question for GReddy M-Spec FMIC owners..

Very quick question for those of you who have these on your car (or lying around somewhere)


Does it have the word "GReddy" across the top of it?



I took my car in to a shop and they noticed mine DOES NOT say 'greddy' on top, however i purchased mine from rx7store, and the mechanic wasn't familiar with the m-spec version...perhaps it doesn't have that writing on top...

if not, then the shop who installed my FMIC did a switcheroo and i will have to SUE.

Greddy does not make the M spec anymore. I forget if the orginals said Greddy on the top or not.

wow....

"Please note that this is not a genuine Greddy intercooler. Its a replica of the old M spec intercooler that was discontinued from Greddy."


haha...........WELL i probably just didnt read the fine print....


explains things.



not saying rx7store ripped me off, i know thats not the case. the SHOP though, mightve taken my greddy and switched in a nobrand one.

Jason, did you EVER offer the original Mspec from greddy? i purchased it in early May from the rx7store and i remember it said GReddy on the box...

I highly doubt that a shop would steal your core, the Greddy IC has a few characteristics that are not easy to duplicate. Look at the inlet and outlet, they are not at the same angles, someone would have to go through a lot of trouble to switch it on you.....Below are pics from an install we did a year or so ago



Has the piping been modified?



Just found another M-spec install that we did recently this one you can just make out the Greddy logo on the top

One way to tell if its a real Greddy is did it come in a Greddy box. The replica comes in just a brown box with no markings.
I did carry the original M spec from Greddy but it was discontinued probably 3-4 months ago. The replica is identical to the Greddy

Mine said Greddy on the top of it. I had the V-SPL kit (very similar, if not identical to the M-spec). However, I bought mine several years ago.
