The Greddy FMIC. I couln't be any more happier, personally I think the GReddy unit is one of the best intercoolers made in the market.

If you have stock twins go with the Apexi FMIC

If you have a Single go with the Greddy 3 or 4 row FMIC

3 row is the biggest you can go with in a rx7 for greddy .Most people have the 2 row.I have the Greddy 3 row SPL race front mount,its a bad bad boy !

Talk about huge !!

custom made intercoolers flow better than all of the name brand 'kits' some of you guys with "name branditis" should come downunder to see how much name brand stuff you can find on the real performance cars

superior intercooler

you DEFINATELY want the Williams intercooler it is badass!!! of course since i created it i guess i too am a little biased! seriously though one main advantage is that you dont have to relocate the radiator and your A/C will work normally, and best of all it is custom made for you!

the GReddy 3 row is nice, but you need a new front bumper (i.e, C-West) to get the most out of it. the mouth in the stock bumper is not big enough to feed that huge IC, IMO.

i like the Apex GT FMIC. you can run it with stock twins, then you can go single with no problems. (look at XS. they just ran a 10.60 using this same IC). the only downside i see of the Apex is that it doesnt look as cool as the GReddy, mainly casue its not polished and its not up all in your face.

my .02.

Noone has brought up the fact that the Greddy intercooler doesn't have the greatest track record for lasting and looking very good.From my own personal knowledge on the imports that we've done turbo kits for and were daily driver's.....the Greddy got banged up real easy.The Apexi seemed to hold up alot better for daily driving and there was less of a pressure drop to boot.

I like my HKS Type "S" front mount. It works well and looks good.
