How much additional boost I can put in with one of these intercooler?Does it work just as well as the name brand: HKS, Greddy, Blitz...etc?Im quite new with CA and turbo issues, please advise. Thanks!

1) that depends on what **** you got.2) I don't think anyone knows quite yet (or probably will, since I don't think too many ca guys run those name brand ones), but I can't imagine the difference would be too huge. Buy both and get some thermocouples and find out...

Hey Guys, how long did it take you to get your fmic kits after you paid? I spoke with [email protected] and she had me send money to [email protected]. But its been a week since ive sent the money and i havent heard a thing... get no replies either anymore.....

i bought a manifold from autochrome a while back and they never replied to any of my **** but i eventually got the item still.

Post by **slownslurious** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 11:35 am

if you use the ebay form to ask them a question you will not get a respone, as far as I can tell. I asked "dee" or whatever to combine shipping and by the time she got back to me I'd already gotted my manifold.

I sent my emails to Tammie ([email protected]) and I got quick responses. I sent the money to them through Paypal and received the FMIC in like 4-5 days.

Ditto, I spoke with [email protected] but after i sent the money they never responded to any of my emails

But the Intercooler DID arrive in about 4-5 days too. haha I got my intercooler, cat back, mani, dump pipe, and downpipe at the same time

Post by **onevia1800cc** » Sun Jul 24, 2005 3:22 pm

as you can see the cold pipe is for a sr but i'll have that fixed in a jiffystill in fitment stage i want to get a cleaner cut where the pipes go through the body, honestly other than the hotpipe this kit is GREAT! FMIC is well made.i am happy with the 334 i spent

Post by **slideways** » Sun Jul 24, 2005 6:32 pm

looks good man, and from the looks of that cold pipe, a small trim off, use your stock rubber hose and wallah, badda bing badda boooom. snizzap. chaching well u get the picture ..

yeah looks good, i send dedee@ssauto an email about 3 dasy ago then send payment to ssauto as directed. they havent sent me confirmation and she hasnt replied to my emails in 2 days so yeah i think we are all going thru the same thing, hopefully i revcieve my item and at time of install ill take pics and try to post a review on how thigns went with cutting and trimming of the cold pipe.

why isn't anyone else bidding on this kit on ebay?

is it because by emailing dee at ssautochrom you can get it cheaper than $295?

Also how much did you have to send deedee in total for the kit?

I just followed what rchboy did.... I emailed them and paid $250 + $40 shipping + $4.88 insurance. So $294.88 total.

I don't think there were THAT many people with CA18dets that needed intercoolers and wanted a kit... I mean they were throwing those things up there like candy, I'm sure they sold 20 or more of them by now. Only so much of a market for such a thing in the states.

Post by **rchboy** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 7:33 pm

i jus tried fitting my kit and the hot pipe doesnt fit perfect, but i have a gt28rs turbo thats the only problem i had other than the cold pipe issue.

I bid on one, but I have no clue on how long it'll take to get to Germany

I am curious to know how these match up agains the johnnyracecar fmics (6in) or similar... It just seems way too large for only like 200 to 250whp

Johnny Racecar 8" vs SSA

Johnny Racecar = tube/fin SSA = bar/plate

Johnny Racecar = 2.75" thickSSA = 3" thick

Johnny Racecar = $215 (price increase coming up this week)SSA = $294 shipped with all the piping.

I imagine the little 6" will heat soak pretty quickly.

i hit major boost spike last night with this fmic kit. i usae to uverboost about 9 psi( 2 notches above .5 bar) now im hitting like 2 notches below 1.0 bar LMAO i know this isnt good and i neewd to take it easy until i get a MBC, anyknow having this same isssue? or heard of it. also im not using the boost control solemoid and i run vac off of the turbo

on mine i can't even touch the hot side,and the cold side is COLD no heat ,then if you touch the fins on the core where the hot side comes in its just barely warm and where the cold side exits COLD, very minimal heat soak for me, at least so far

Post by **kuruma** » Sun Jul 31, 2005 7:48 am

did most of you guys run the stock smic before this one?
