Confused in Intercooler land?
I want to find a cheap FMIC, Ive told NPR is a decent one for cheap... But when I call the yard, what do I ask for, like as in what years, and what is the size of the small one? People say theres a large and small one?
Will one of these do up to 17 psi? I doubt I'll push my turbo past 15psi.. But anyways, any help would be appreciated.
I wanna go pick one up today, I called a place and they said they have a shitload of different kinds/sizes, please be more specific no returns, unless its bad...

people do 40 psi with the npr truck intercooler. This is the one you are talking about right?

Greg's is the large one, this is the small one:
I don't have the exact measurements anymore, they died along with my hard drive

I think the little one is what I need, the big one looks like a bitch to fit in a FB

I have the little one on my car. This thing is sweet. I had to cut some stuff up a little to make it work, but I'm happy with it.
Altogether it cost me about $650.
If I make some WOT pulls at 12psi, get out and pop the hood the inlet piping will burn your hands...the outlet it cool as ice.

this is in a convertable. the IC was mounted "upsidedown" to avoid any cutting. didnt want it to look like my TII did after i was done with that.
(i had to do some hacking to get pipes to fit under the hood. 
)BTW....that is the large NPR stuffed in there...

Imagination?
My mind is aflood with rivulets of creativivity cascading into a deep pool of imaginative solutions....
A friend of mine used piping from JC Whitney (sp?) and had it all welded up and polished. Looked pretty good!

Hey Mike,
Just FYI, I have the 16 row NPR intercooler (the small one) in my first gen. It fits perfrectly between the front tubular frame support and the front upper cross member.

rx7kid- exact name is an "intercooler"
it is off of an "Isuzu NPR" or from an "NRR" depending on what endtanks you want/ need for your application without hacking them off an making your own.
years...check for anywhere newer than 1995 1/2.
mike-p-28--your best bet is a dismanteler. (spelling?)
