look into the Nisei intercooler. They might be alittle better then AMS if not the same, but they can get you a better deal then AMS and they are working on a super nice lower pipe.

We offer several options with our upper pipe kits. You can get it flanged for a Tial, HKS, Greddy or stock. The recirculation Tube is up to you.

We are in the process of developing a new IC for HIGH hp applications. Like 600 plus. its utilizing a much thicker core and 3" piping. Its a long way off from production but its in the works.

The only reason to upgrade from our standard core is if you are overworking the core. So far we have no done so till we cracked the 740whp number on the dyno. As a general rule of thumb a bigger IC is going to involve completely different piping.

That coupled with my Koyo radiator and the car stays plenty cool on the track. (just spent 2 days on MAM with no issues www.midamericamotorplex.com )

Not to mention it looks good

Eric,

is the intercooler symmetrical so one can choose whether or not to show the logo? Something like tires with raised white lettering; you can show either side.

Thanks!

Bigger doesn't always equal better for intercoolers anyway.

I asked them to put there logo on it so I could show my support? ( and maybe scare a few people)

I don't beleive it has the logo normally.


Chris, The EXPO was a blast. Mid America Motorsplex is a very nice track................I haven't seen any videos yet, but I know there are numerous ones when I was "drifting" in the rain on sunday.

I know this is an FMIC thread, but his first line he said "Planning to do the following mods: SAFCII or AEM EMS". Just leaves a great big question mark over my head. Huh?

Bigger does not mean better when it comes to FMIC's Our FMIC has been proven to support over 700 whp.
