You probably won't be able to notice the difference, but honestly I would use the JDM Sport one. Fins inside look MUCH better.
Both suck but both should do the job. |
I love my egay intercooler. Intake temps are always quite manageable.
|
If you are going to use either use the shitty top one, it's a delta fin inspired one so it'll flow a lot better than the bar/plate one.
Being a brand whore to a Chinese rebranding factory is a terrible life's ambition. |
<p>Some quality noob bashing going on. And he just keeps coming back from more. You will do well here steve.</p>

Oh I just saw these other comments. Installed the Mishi IC and the car actually blew up. Like, literally just burst into flames. It was just that bad of a unit I guess.

I like the Mishimoto one because it is brand new, doesn't have any bent fins, and is heavier. I like the JDM Sport one because the core looks a lot more dense... I'm at a loss. WHICH ONE DO I USE?! :vash: wtf. are the fins not even louvered like the JDM one? both are poor, but I'd stick with the delta core tube&fin beat to hell IC over the non-IC. Vlad this might flow better inside, but I'd rather have 5psi of pressure drop and 80% efficiency than no pressure loss from air passing through a pipe with slots and 10% efficiency. |

Cool, thanks for the info as always guys! I'll be using the Mishi one for now because I'm a brand whore and it will probably perform better than the JDM Sport one. Maybe I'll get the better Ebay one that you linked to some day when I get bored again
This made my fucking day. |

I kinda just like watching people get so passionate about some of these things... lol

We are idealists

we *think* we are idealists. But here we are, telling him he bought the wrong eBay intercooler and suggesting he should have bought a DIFFERENT eBay intercooler. Just ONE of us (you, sean, in post #135) quietly suggested that he get a true, quality, name-brand intercooler, and nobody recognized it.
We are mf'in cheapskates. |
Screw an intercooler. E-Cool, bro.

We are mf'in cheapskates. We are cheap ass idealists :rofl: Also, as Vlad pointed out, very little(if any?) empirical data exist on any of these egay coolers. Even the one we tout is based on anecdote from visual appearance. |
I will post some data later in regards to IATs using the two intercoolers I have and then we all sing Kumbaya after my car blows up again from using the Mishi one.

Wasn't able to do testing with the new IC tonight due to other obligations. No explosive motors tonight ;(

Way back, JasonC swapped out his AVO barNplate for a TDR tube/fin.

The AVO appears to have more thermal mass but heatsoak, the TDR airflow cools it down quick. Peak temps on the track, unknown. -Pressure loss: TDR is better by 0 to 0.5 psi 2.5 psi pressure loss at 10 psi of manifold pressure, est 240 whp https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...2&d=1437049190 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...1&d=1437049190 |

m2cupcar, thanks for the detailed response! I will be doing testing on the intercooler this weekend.
My 180 tstat and gasket from BEGI two days ago. My box of seals, gaskets, and hoses came from Rosenthal yesterday. I will finally be able to get this clutch in- Woo! I installed these guys last night. The car actually doesn't stop at all now. Like, I'll press on the brakes and nothing happens. Been having to use my e-brake for now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1437153906 I'm blaming the holes in the rotors for the stopping issue. And they look terrible. So |
