I remember with the ka24DE manifolds they sold a handful at first for pretty cheap because they were not production manifolds, they were preproduction (they said the welds weren't robotic, etc)...its POSSIBLE that they might have shipped them some sort of preproduction kits, not likely, but I'm just posting it as a theory.

hey u seem to have an s13 front, did u have any fitment issues with the cooler being to high up and not clearing the brackets or headlight? this is happenning to me and i dont know if i should use another bracket for the top mounting point so it can lower the cooler about an inch. can u get me some pics of how it sits by the headlights plz.thnx

Well I guess Im gonna order a FMIC from them now, I cant find a shop to make me piping for cheaper than 550. F That. Ill just buy that kit and then sell my MR FM.

I wish they would put the s14 sr coldpipe on there.

All intercoolers cause a pressure drop. Its just a matter of how much. Kinda tough to tell without having a super accurate boost gauge connected to both sides of the intercooler.

You mean S14 cold pipe? I bought their S14 SR kit and am using a Greddy S13 hotpipe with it.......and I'm betting on the fact that the pipe between the Greddy peice and the IC will work even tho its technically an S14 peice. I think its just a 90 degree "L" shaped peice...shouldnt be much different than the peice that comes with the S13 kit. *fingers crossed*

I have the S14/15 cold-side piping. Its the exact same as the one in that auction. It bolts RIGHT up. The only issue is the small pipe that the factory BOV connects goes right to the upper radiator inlet. I had to hacksaw mine off and stick a freeze plug in there. You can see here in this pic--
