The beauty of the Nisei line of intercoolers is that they are designed to work with stock turbo or your favorite bad boy. The Nisei intercooler emphasizes heat exchange and fin effectiveness more than any intercooler on the market. If there's a setup that needs heat extracted the most it's the stock turbo. At 20 psi you can see inlet temps as high as 310 degrees F. With larger turbos their efficiency range is higher and wont generate added heat until turned up very high. The stock turbo creates large amounts of heat because it's spinning so fast. The Nisei FMIC effectively reduces those heat levels within 5 - 15 degrees above the ambient temperature. A stock turbo will benefit greatly from the Nisei FMIC because of its ability to exchange so much heat out of the charged air.

Thanks
If the intercooler you purchased works with the stock piping there is a high probability it will work with your new intercooler. The ends where the Nisei pipes meet with the intercooler were designed to emulate the location of the stock pipes. As a result the Nisei pipes work with the stock intercooler.

We've tested many intercoolers for fitment already, which one do you have?

Question

We still anticipate a backorder on the Nisei FMIC for another 60 days or longer.

However, the engineers at Nisei have been working hard on pushing the limits of intercooling technology in the Evo market and are soon introducing a new line of products by the name of Nisei Competition Series.

The release date for it is within 4 weeks.If you thought the original Nisei FMIC was good, wait until you see this one.
So the current FMIC is on backorder for 60 days....but in 30 days you will be releasing a new series of IC's that are better than the current one on backorder.

Unless the price is different I dont see a reason to backorder the current FMIC.

I will be purchasing a FMIC in the next 60 days. I have yet to selet the FMIC I will purchase.

I agree, which is why Nisei has been consdering completely discontinuing the Nisei Street FMIC. However, to have a better product mix there's a possibility it will still exist to be able to target a lower price point than the Nisei Competition FMIC, which will be up to $200 more expensive. The pricing isnt 100% concrete yet.

The comp series prices are going to be $200 higher than the standard price? Yikes. To me the standard price is already almost too high.

Right now I'm just looking for basic information such as fitment/dimensions (still a bolt-on? Will there have to be ANY modifications to ANY of the parts of the car?), inlet/outlet diameter, etc. I'm sure performance numbers will come in due time.

Your new race IC would have to be the "end all, be all" of intercoolers to demand an increased $200 premium though... have to be damned impressive!

How much would you pay knowing you never have to buy another intercooler again no matter how many modifications you have? The Nisei line of intercoolers have been designed so that it's the only intercooler ever needed for the life of the vehicle.

From what I remember Buschur Racing's race FMIC was going for high $800's and according to him they were flying off the shelves. The $695 Nisei street FMIC stacked up against his flagship intercooler with no problems. He himself even said it's a good product. The Nisei Competition FMIC is significantly better than the street intercooler and will become the measuring stick for everyone looking at intercoolers.

To answer Zeus' question. We have a Nisei Competition FMIC on a customer's car that has done some testing using his AEM EMS datalogger. We allowed him to test the Competition FMIC up against a street version we lent to him, in addition to his own testing of his BR Deluxe. When the Nisei Street FMIC's temps above ambient were in the double digits, the Competition FMIC was yielding temps in the single digits above ambient. He said he immediately noticed more throttle response and logged a pressure drop half of what the street FMIC was doing. I dont want to show the exact data until we do our own testing with the MoTeC, but the results were significantly better. This was on a GT3076R which would cause more pressure drop than that stock turbo do to air volume moving through the core. Nisei is in pursuit of creating the perfect intercooler for the Evo and their knowledge of the subject is overwhelming. I've picked their brains for a couple years now and I know a lot, but i dont even scratch the surface compared to them. Nisei always stands behind their claims and products.

Some more details:
Like the Nisei Street FMIC, the end-tanks are also cast but this time they incorporate a 2.5" inlet and a 3" outlet and include 3" > 2.5" transition hoses to mate up with the stock intercooler piping or the Nisei Intercooler Pipe Kit. As always Nisei is committed to safety and retains use of the front bumper support in this model as well. This intercooler is a testament to what i've said for years now: Size isn't the only thing that matters in intercooling. The Competition FMIC is only 4mm thicker but has a completely different fin configuration internally and externally that cools more and has less pressure drop. You won't find this fin configuration on any intercooler on the market today as it is a design only available to Nisei Engineering.

The ETA for this intercooler is 3 - 5 weeks as the lead time on the batch of end tanks has been extended for 2 weeks past the original date. In addition, while Nisei has been extremely busy with the new FMIC, they've also been hard at work on the upcoming Nisei turbo kit which will incorporate many new innovations not seen in the evo world.

I'll post more details soon!
