which FMIC kit for ca18 powered s13

[ca18hatch24]

Hello,
What front mount intercooler kits can be used with little to no modifications for a ca18det powered s13? I have heard mixed answers on what "should" work, but was just wondering what you guys have had success with. Thanks

S14 SR20DET FMIC kit from CXRacing worked out very well for me. I've been running it without issues.

Hmmm CXracing s14 kit, huh? I may need to look into that. Do they have their own website, or is it like an ebay vendor? I'll do some research. So fitment was really good and everything? You still have a bottom mount setup for your turbo? Thanks for your help.

bottom mount setup. www.cxracing.com but buy from eBay seller "Just-Intercoolers" for 199.99 shipped. (cheaper than their site). The only thing I had to do was cut a piece off the pipe and have the hole welded at a local shop for $20.

Quick question superman....did you get the cx racing kit that is the s13 chassis for s14sr20 swap, or is it the kit for the s14 chassis? Did you get the one that already has the bov and flange? I was wondering how well made their bov would be. Thanks man.

Yea, you get the kit for the S14 chassis. If you get the one for the S13 chassis, it's made for the redtop SR20 and the cold pipe is wrong.

Nice, thanks for the quick reply float. Are you/have you used a similar setup?

this is the kit I bought, and i only had to cut one piece on the cold pipe off because it interfered with my radiator hose. Kit is awesome, but I'd stay away from their BOV's..

Yea, I used to run an S14 FMIC in my S13 w/my CA18DET. Man that seems like a long time ago!
