Well, Greddy revamped their website and I was looking through it and came across this .

worked for me. where is their turbo kit section at? i may be blind but i couldnt find it. edit* lol nevermind i was blind. i found it, i guess its those tylenol pms kicking in. hmmm i see greddy uses a 20g with their ka kit. i also think that $900 is kinda costly for a intercooler kit. but thats the list price so... what would it end up being?

the price is $990, so it's more like $1k. unless you can find a distributer who can cut a nice deal, you're still going to spend close to $1k with shipping.

Not really.. if you look at the pricing for their KA turbo kit, they have it listed at around $3600. Everyone else is selling for $2600-$2900. I would imagine the intercooler kit going for around ~$800.

$3500 was the original price of the kit from any dealer when it first came out. i remember because besides not having an intercooler, the price was my biggest compaint. it has since come down to the prices you have listed (although i swear i've seen it listed for $2400 somewhere).

if you buy one now, i betcha the intercooler kit will cost you around $1k (taxes and shipping included). i say wait until the price drops like the kit's did.

i stand corrected. i just priced the ic kit with enjuku. the total came to $826 and some change.

Yeah I think I'll just play the waiting game a little longer...

although $2700 + $850 = $3600 turbo kit with fmic and fuel management isn't too shabby of a deal.

imo, it's the deal they should have come out with from the start .

So now, with the intercooler, how much boost can this kit dish out, or how many lbs is the 20g good for?

[nismofan14]

Dunno the lbs. it can push but the turbo is claimed to produce 450 horsepower.

I wanna wait on the price to go down also but knowing how long it took to come out makes me wonder how long the will keep making the kit. It would really **** me off to wait only to find out that it is no longer available.

[14.5drift]

450? Thats like the size of a T4. So like, 20lbs?

Does anyone else besides me think ~$900 for a freakin' intercooler/piping is a royal waste of money?!??

That's insane!

You can find a nice spearco intercooler on ebay for $300, have the pipes made up for $200 (probably cheaper if you buy some from jcwhitney and just cut them yourself and then have them welded together), and voila, you save $400 and have just as efficient an intercooler....

I don't know why people use such massive intercoolers for low boost (7-10 psi)--The huge size seems useless and will just contribute to lag/pressure drop, not to mention excess weight.

I've been looking around ebay for when I actually do upgrade to a FMIC and everything I see is TOO big! Doesn't anyone sell intercoolers of a moderate size?

(I'm looking for something of max size 30" tip of inlet to tip of outlet, 8" high, 2.5" thick--more than enough for 10 psi boost...)

Oh well, I'm just post-whoring.

Jspec.com is selling the Greddy kit with IC for 3600 shipped.

[TurboKA37]

not bad, especially since it comes with the emanage. keep in mind this is a really nice kit for people that dont trust buying stuff cheap off ebay or have access to a shop that can do piping for them. i dont think the price is that bad considering its greddy and they're gonna sell their stuff more expensive then most others.

Larger intercoolers can remove more heat from the charge air. This can be especially important when it comes to extended full-throttle runs. Road courses in particular, where the intercooler is being heated a large percentage of the time. The larger surface area helps to dissapate more heat. The larger mass helps to store more heat before it is heatsoaked at which point it would become nothing more than a restriction. As far as lag is concerned, it's hardly that significant. Keep in mind the actual increase in volume that has to fill is not so much the difference in the overall dimensions of the core. It's the amount of volume that the addional internal cores add. Which is only a percentage of the overall difference in size. And I'd rather have a slight pressure drop from too large an intercooler that can provide a lot of other benefits than to have it occur from a small intercooler that is just inadequate. For a car that will never see a race track, no prob. But I prefer my I/C is underworked. Especially since summer heat at the California race tracks tend to bring track temps up over 100 degrees easy.
