It's finally here! Nisei Engineering Intercooler!
Man Ive been waiting for a nicer mini battery kit to come out, not to mention this Nisei intercooler. Only thing holding me back is this non-undertray fitment. 
Although I still feel down the road I will get the Nisei

Hey guys, thought i'd throw you all a teaser and give you a sneak peak of the battery tray!

We can also sell it without the battery for those who prefer to use your own battery or another one that fits. The one in the pics is unfinished. The Nisei Engineering standard color is black, polished will be extra for whatever parts it applies to.

Yes, it will work with the stock IC sprayer.
MyEVOStore,
Couple things: Is the battery youre going to sell with the kit look like that one. I know its kinda fruity but Id like to keep the blue/black/chrome theme in my engine bay and that red battery with all that writing looks kinda crazy. Flame on for that comment I know...
Also... is the Upper IC pipe design be more like the AMS and Buschur (I have AMS picture below) or will it look more like a Helix, Greddy look. Im hoping for the first. Also, are you still coming out with an undertray for the Nisei? Its the only thing holding me back from getting it because I want my undertray.
Thanks!
Tom

Not to **** in anybodies cereal, just asking.
How are you testing temp drop, (what instruments, and what running conditions).
Also how are you testing pressure drop, (again, what instrument and running conditions)

Tuning Technologies, a pretty well known tuning shop here in SoCal just purchased and tested out one of our cores:
Thanks Chris and Alfred for running the test!
We recently had the opportuninty to test the nisei replacement core against the stock intercooler. Here are the details:
Both intercoolers were tested for 5 dyno runs.
Car was an 03 gsr 24,500 miles. 3" tbe, high flow cat, exede, stock intake, pump, and injectors.
Fuel was 91 octane 76.
The undertray was removed before the tests were started.
The intercooler sprayer was turned off.
The fan used was a 42" 1/2hp airking drum fan.
Stock results were obtained with peak boost ranging from 1.55 to 1.57 bar. Hp is listed first Tq second. Results are given with a standard correction factor applied.
275.91hp 279.38tq
280.54hp 281.26tq
263.25hp 280.61tq
262.13hp 280.61tq
266.65hp 275.98tq
Nisei results were obtained with peak boost ranging from 1.54 to 1.58 bar. Hp is listed first and Tq second. Results are given with a standard correction factor applied.
288.55hp 283.72tq
283.45hp 270.92tq
283.47hp 283.09tq
277.62hp 283.66tq
282.35hp 279.83tq
The average numbers are: Stock hp 269.89 Nisei hp 283.09 Stock tq 279.57 Nisei tq 280.24
We were surprised to see such good gains from simply replacing the core. We did our best to make the tests fair and we were pretty tough on the cores to do our best to simulate a real world beating. Once the testing was completed i did some final tuning on the nisei core and ended up at 285hp and 280tq. This was with the boost turned down to 1.45 peak and some more timing removed for safety.
Feel free to pm me if you have any questions. If i did my math wrong let me know.
Moral of the story the Nisei outperformed the stocker by 13 hp average and would have done better on the torque side if it wasn't for run number two. I'm not sure what happened, maybe the ecu got pissed. The Nisei fit well and looks pretty tough from the front. The Nisei also did not cover any more of the radiator than the stock core. Pm me for more info or go to Nisei's website.

I have been testing one for 3 weeks. I log everything on my aem ems and it is keeping temps cooler than the avo I had. I will be testing it shortly on the track under road racing conditions.
