could ne1 tell me how much i would expect to pay for a 600x300x90 or around that size fmic for a s15 200sx??
i hav no idea as sum places are about 2grand fitted and sum places are 1000.. is the quality that much better or worse?? or are they just ripping ppl off??

I am going to get a TRUST FMIC for my S15. Should cost about 2 grand fitted. You can never go wrong with the Japanese name brand as their product has gone through extensive testing. I wouldn't go for the 1 grand custom made intercooler as there are too many unknown factors with those things. Yes there are people who put those custom made 'stuff' on their car and worked but I wouldn't risk it with my S15. Put it this way, will you buy your baby's milk powder manufactured from a large reputable company or from some local back street hut?

Who's doing it $2000 installed for a TRUST one? I can only find it for $2500 in Sydney.

Theres just no stock anywhere (well that was before Xmas). HKS APexi, I'm waiting for stock, if anyone in Sydney knows.. please help. I'm ready to install yesterday.

Whoaa!

600x300x90 thats a chunky cooler dude, and a fully fledged kit from a jap name brand are sure worth it, but just buy the kit, around the $2500g area and install it your self.

who have you been to so far?

HKS also do a couple of FMICs go to

www.bd4s.com.au

they are about $2200 fitted.

yeh i was thinking about the kits but is there any welding involved or is it really straight bolt on?? coz its technically pretty easy and makes sense but dunt want ne risk.. thx..
yeh i've looked around at heaps of places and the cheapest is about the 2grand mark fitted..

and yeh isnt chunkier cooler better??

Talk to Peter at Advan in Silverwater 96471326. They do Trust ones at good prices just over $2k fitted.

you can buy Trust/Greddy FMIC kit from Advan for approx $2K installed; if you want to save money, it can be DIY. yes, i will endorse Peter - an easy to deal with kiwi bloke (he doesn't mock around).

thnx for the rplies.. i'll look into it

Sorry for the stupid Question. but what does FMIC stand for. and what is it?

Front mount intercooler (FMIC)

Have a look through the hole in the factory bumper to see the factory one. Pretty small hey? Alright on a stock standard car but the more you mod the less efficient it becomes, especially with higher boost.

People go for a much larger intercooler which is said to both be less restrictive to airflow and better at cooling the compressed hot air from the turbo. It is mounted at the front of the car in front of the radiator for maximum airflow from the moving car. A mod that eceryone agrees is beneficial for durability and power.
