That's actually a pretty darn good intercooler for up to about 250hp. If that's w/in your power goals, I'd think about it. Much less lag then a FMIC setup designed to support 400hp.

I dunno, used crappy OEM S13 SMIC's go for $30-50 on ebay......with nice ones being $75+. For someone who needs a new IC and, for simplicity reasons, wants to keep the SMIC OEM piping, this is ideal. Also, I've seen the Blitz SMIC go for alot more than $250 although Im not sure of the difference in thickness of core. Anyhow...

Looks just like my ARC one, which is rated at 300ps. It is MUCH thicker than the stock SMIC. And I paid $250 for my ARC. That was back before the $300 SSAC setups were available.

I would, but it's ninety dollars for shipping!!!!!!!! Besides, I paid that much for the small fmic I'm running now.
