I agree that you probably shouldn't skimp on the intercooler. I have a Buschur front mount that I'm very pleased with. I will say I had to buy a new radiator because I put a small hole in the stock one and I went with the Mishimoto on eBay for $250. I've had it for a year now and it's held up great. My coolant temp logs seemed to drop with this radiator versus the stock one.

 

Yea.. I just figured that mishi made some pretty good stuff that holds up well. Wondered how their intercoolers held up.

My civic is running a full afi topmount kit... So it should be fun!

 

Brionne you know better than that! Buschur Street Core all day! Thread Closed! lol

my recommendation is if you are staying about 300whp, stick with stock. only if you are going for 350+ i'd switch to a proven design like nisei or buschur etc (NOT ebay or other mishimoto junk)

in another words, stock IC is pretty good.

 

Martin... Stop stalking me bro! Lol

 

save up for a quality ic that u know wont leak like a sob when u run more than stock boost on it. Even ets ic's arent to expensive and have good reviews.
