just the intercooler, no piping and no duct

I had a pfs intercooler at one time. Its ok and better than stock, but there are better intercoolers out there, be it stock mount or front mount. $700 isn't a bad price, if you want just an upgrade over stock with no plans to go with real high boost, then its a good deal.

I had Peters IC for over a year.

I have seen alot of fast ass cars use Peters IC aswell.

I may even have the duct to give you, i can look. I think it is a really nice IC.

thanks dave, your opinions always count......hehe (all the way from ibm)



you think my re amemiya intake will fit next to it?

Fd3BOOST 03-21-2003 08:55 PM

Yes it should..

The RE amemiya is the pink cake right? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

FikseRxSeven 03-21-2003 08:57 PM

yeah the big pink cake with the purple honeycomb pattern on it



is 700 a decent price for it?

I had one, it's better than stock, but obviously a front mount is a lot better. I bought mine used for $600 3 years ago. I think $700 is too much. I'd just save the dough and get a nice front mount

Fd3BOOST 03-21-2003 09:01 PM

I will say that I sold mine for $600 also. But it's better than any front mount IMO.

Front mounts are blocking the rad which has a larger hand in cooling the engine than the IC does.

That is why all road racing cars have SMIC and more drag cars use FMIC, cause the SMIC keep cooler longer while the car is moving.

Your car is not gonna over heat either way but SMIC is always better https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png
