Okay guys Im looking for a intercooler w/Same side in and outlets, for my RB20. I tried searching on eBay and I came across one that was 27" length, and another that is in Austrailia. Does you all know of anyothers that are 18" to 24" in length, and who sells them here in the US?

ebay search harder, I got mine it was 18x10x3.5 something close to that. Worked nice for retaining the stock side mount pipes, I only needed a little extra to make it work.

My fmic is just like this one, 25x11x3 with 2.5 inlet and outlet on same side, works great for me and fits well with minimal trimming.

DUDE!!! I am trying to sell mine. It is a McKinney and brand new with all the piping for the rb into an s13 chassis. He wants $950 for it but i am only asking $550 shipped. It's also on ebay, just put in McKinney in the search there. I am at work and can't go to Ebay right now to link to it.

It may not be the size you're looking for, but Starion/Conquests (or "StarQuests") used those.

So the quality of that intercooler is pretty good? I just bought this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem) from them. 24x12x4 Bar and Plate and 28lbs isn't too shabby.

The quality on mine seems just as good as the spearco my friend paid 600 for, Inside of the tubes are ribbed, nice bar plate design, great welds, looks solid and has worked fine thus far.

As far as workign as well as a normal FMIC I cant say for sure. What I can say is that between the smic and the same sided fmic I didnt feel any difference in turbo lag, just better pulls and no heat soaking. The harder I push it, the colder the fmic gets, the cold outlet is always chilly when I feel it even after a hard run. Now, Im sure there is a sacrifice somewhere, there is more piping length vs getting a front facing plenum and normal fmic, but if you dont feel like paying 1g for the plenum and want to keep it simple, the same sided works great.
