Everyone can have a hook up look around online for good priced intercoolers. I don't know why everyone is paying out of their ass for name brands like greddy and others. There are plently of places that sell cheap cores and cheap endcaps. Just bring them to a local welder that can weld aluminum and pressure test it for u. I don't get why someone would throw away $1,200 for a FMIC when they can get them for $400 check this out

I don't know how efficent the core is. I've posted that numberous times over at dsmtuners and no one would give me the time of day over there. I've seen a few people that have them, with large turbos and have no problem. IMO about the IC pipes a shop can custom make some for u 2.5" for not alot of money
 
personally i wouldnt listen to ed, he dodnt know what hes saying, but i do think id agree dejon has quality work...

imdrax, That looks just like a Greddy SPL core for the 240sx/Silvia. They are big, but not as big as my R34 GTR core! :) Here is a picture of it from under the hood. Yuo can see how it goes all the way up to the hood latch and and about two inches below the frame work. The second picture is of tsi terrorists Dejon ic taken by a cell phone camera.

Are you happy now Jay?

If you look at the pictures of it you'll see why people pay good money for good intercoolers insted of those shitty things. First, the inlet and outlets are only 2in as seen here.

Here you can see that there aren't any good heat sinks made into the core like you get with the (God forbid!) more expensive cores. Ok and the outer veins are straight through unlke most good cores too.

This think is smaller than any other DSM spisific FMIC setup I've ever seen!Leave it for the Honduas;)

I'VE SEEN NOTHING BUT GARBAGE ON THIS THREAD.
I'll have you know that I have a Calsonic designed for the race track and not to be cost efficent or pretty. I will agree that Spearco makes good cores but there are others out there that are just as good if not better, like ARC for example.
 
not worth the time and money it'd take to custom make a setup
That depends on your resorcefulness and how cheap you get the EVO (used) i/c for in the first palce. It would be better than stock. I do agree with the above statment if you are talking about getting a good aftermarket EVO intercooler, it wouldn't really be worth it. (unless it's an ARC.. ... .. :hail:)
 
I've been following the thread for a while now. And to update everyone and add my two cents, I just installed my Dejon race FMIC on Saturday and I love it. I lost my stock foglights :mad: so if anybody needs a set of OEM foglights let me know:D

and for the pic:

That FMIC looks nice man! Dejon-Tool makes some nice stuff! I was personally thinking of getting their upgraded SMIC for 2Gs... They claim its good for 450hp or something if I recall correctly.


As diambo4life said though the mods will delete your signature if you don't get rid of the link, and I believe you're only allowed 4 lines of text... I think you have quite a bit more than that. On top of that your sig image is over 20000 bytes....
 
Thanks guys, and I fixed the sig. It's been like that for over a year.... oh well.
