It's $350 right?

Why not look at all new ebay stuff?

I don feel like going through the hassle of running all over the flippen place for people to bend and bend somore, I just want to somthing close to bolt up and go

Kit looks like a POS. Doesnt even seem to have 2" piping. But if you can't make your own or afford a quality kit, why are you asking.

Just buy it, make whatever mods are needed and bolt it up and go.

Maybe clean up the rust before you do it. That IC looks pretty fucked up too.

install instructions nah man that is part of the FM puzzle pack if you figured it out then you would get a prize.

RicanmiataRacer

If i were to get it ,I would just paint the Ic black, and the pipes as well, ans far as the intercooler,Ive seen worse

Ive seen other worse on running cars boosting 15-16 psi, fm makes sturdy work, nothing black spray can't fix, let me ask you this (example) If you could get this fm kit for 230 bucks would you

whos crappy beener IC is that









Just kidin Rican i say just go without and DO WI, but that is me.

RicanmiataRacer

I dunno who it belongs to but he wants 500 for it :gay:

P90Puma

No I wouldn't, Unlike yourself I wouldn't be afraid of running from "store to store" to pick up a bunch of bends and weld up something better myself using an ebay core.

You do realize painting the IC totally ***** up the heat exchange right? Unless you use paint that is VERY thin.

Dude I was with you until that point. :gay:

Look around, do any of the fastest cars around run with painted intercoolers?

No they don't.

Edit: Just to provide a link to back me up: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=976485 , thats NASIOC not some ricer forum.

Yeah, you're right. All the race cars I've ever seen have shiny aluminum colored intercoolers. None of them have ever been painted w/ a dispersant, anodized or alochromed to match body color. Furthermore, I've never seen painted radiators, oil coolers, or tranny coolers, either.



Did you even read through the thread that you posted? I think #11 sums it up:

P90Puma

Yes, but do you think rican is going to use any sort of expensive PAINT? No chances are he was going to use thick as **** SPRAYPAINT.

Ben

Would you rather he apply it with a brush? BBQ grill spray paint has been the weapon of choice for many DIY FMIC paint jobs. You're right, the key is to not lay it on thick, and not to plug up air passages. 1-2 mm isn't going to affect ****.

RicanmiataRacer

actually I was'nt really going to paint the damn thing, I just said that so you would forget about how fucked up the damn thing was, lol but whatever, It was only a consideration, not a plan of action...I was looking at it as a option to whatever else.....you need some chill,get laid or somthing man, you get to worked up to easy p90puma , I already Have done all the bends today actually, I went to shop and got a 90' done and some others as well, I'll have pics up by tommorow, and as stated above(he is right and thats what I had planned for my 12x9x2.5) I had this done with my old vr4 and On my best buds 323 gtx.

Actually... I've planned to paint my IC for the longest time. And you don't spray paint it so it looses its effeciency.. you paint it with black radiator paint... it doesn't make the IC any less effecient. **** my spelling

RicanmiataRacer

And really how the **** do you know what I'd be using to do this job(it really doesnt matter one stinkin **** face penguin **** to me) but really, your assumptions suck:gay: really now Im ready to move on here Id say If I knew you face to face lets go out a party life is too short
