anyone here running one of these generic ebay FMIC? i swear I'm so desperate for a FMIC that 100$ for one is calling my name. Gotta be better than a 1g sidemount :shrug

wish i could afford a hahn, but i can't.

go to johnnyracecar.com. Very affordable intercoolers, and shipment is pretty fast.
I've used his intercoolers on all my vehicles and plan to continue to use them

those are pretty good prices.

I just bought a cheapo ebay one, I paid on the first of March, got it yesterday (the 3rd) and it looks great. I hope it performes as good as it looks. I just have to fab up some brackets to mount it.

nice, let me know how it goes.

you cannot be cheap with stuff man...

obvioulsy if they were good, wouldnt everyone have one since they are only like $125 shipped to your door?

i gurantee they are junk and dont flow good.

get yourself a spearco intercooler, they are pretty cheap on ebay.

you can even find used greddy i/c's for good prices on ebay too!

johnnyracecar fmic's are cheaper than reality should allow...and they've been proven to do the job. why risk saving a measly $100 for an ebay one, when u can save up for one more month and get the pimp shizzle :shrug

EDIT: ^owns jrc 8" fmic^

Yea, i checked out their site, and am definitely going to go with them.

Just to add more fire to this thread, a friend of mine bought one of the 'cheap' cores off of Ebay for under $150 shipped, and it actually appears to be pretty good. The welds looked very nice, and the end tanks looked great as well, and they are polished. He is almost done installing it, so we will see how well it flows. Just from visual inspection though, it looked pretty good.

I'm glad he got such a good deal and saved so much money...let us know how it works.

Thats the same thing as going to Vegas, finding a bomb ass looking prositute, paying her $20 to fuck her, she pulls her pants down, and you can tell by looking at it you could stick your whole fucking arm up her. Cheap and Shitty!

ouch... :owned

Um, sure, what ever you say. I am not defending the intercooler in any way, just stating what I saw. Like I said, I will post up once he gets it installed. Until then, chill out with the prostitute analogies.

yea, there is only one way to find out if it flows as good as it looks and your friend holds the key. Keep us updated.

On DSMTUNERS.com there is a whole thread on the Ebay front mount. Alot of them say that it is pretty good. They even have a group sale going on for I think $295 shipped. There is a lot of them there that bought them and only have good things to say.

The intercooler I have on my car I got off eBay for $200 shipped new. It's the perfect size (25"x7.5"x2.5") for a 95-96 talon bumper, and can flow good for up to 400 hp.

Buying huge intercoolers when you don't need them (aka "for looks") will increase your turbo's spool time, and use money you could have spent to make your car faster.
