what yea think?

no thats not my lude either. its a h23turbo a friend of mine is parting out.

thermal · 02-14-2006, 08:28 AM

Is that a JRC FMIC? Too small man. Even my d-series FMIC at 10 psi wa bigger than that. It also looks like that it is a tube and fin design. With your built motor, why not go bigger and more efficient. Get a bar and plate design such as Precision or Spearco.

IALuder · 02-14-2006, 05:49 PM

well its a hundred bucks, i dont plan to boost much power at first and its my first build. i dont know what half the shit you said ment.

IALuder · 02-14-2006, 05:56 PM

*AzCivic* · 02-14-2006, 06:59 PM

oh ok cool. then hurry up already

IALuder · 02-14-2006, 08:07 PM

i know, i need start putting shit together and stop collecting everything.

thermal · 02-14-2006, 11:15 PM

Low boost is not the issue here man. It is "efficiency". Why spend so much money on your motor then use a cheap IC....

IALuder · 02-15-2006, 01:23 AM

so what do you recommend?

GT40FIED · 02-15-2006, 04:56 AM

I'm a big fan of Spearco myself. But then again, my IC was made for another application and it's HUGE. It's supposed to be a direct fit for Mustangs, but I had to do a little "massaging" to get it in there.

thermal · 02-15-2006, 10:00 AM

Spearco or Precision. Bar and Plate design.

IALuder · 02-15-2006, 02:51 PM

what is bar and plate design?

thermal · 02-15-2006, 03:25 PM

There are two major air-to-airintercooler design: "Bar and Plate" and "Tube and Fin". You can easily tell the difference by looking at the end tanks to view the design. You'll see that bar and plate also has fins inside tha bar in which charged air passes through, whereas tube and fin doesnt. Bar and plate has been proven to remove heat better due to its design. Remember the most of the cooling (heat transfer) occurs on the first 3-5 inches of the intercooler.

IALuder · 02-15-2006, 03:29 PM

oh i c. but whats size ic do you recommend. i mean fuck i dont got much room to work with.

JDMFantasy2k · 02-15-2006, 03:56 PM

i'm running a 6x3x30 johnnyracecar.com intercooler. Awesome quality and unbeatable price. Lot of people on HMT use them too. You can also get them at his Ebay auctions

IALuder · 02-15-2006, 04:16 PM

hmmm. i might look that up.

JDMFantasy2k · 02-15-2006, 06:42 PM

go to HMT.com cause if you click on the sponsors tab there's another company called CCA that does cheap intercoolers, and i think they're like my JRC

thermal · 02-15-2006, 07:36 PM

Both JRC and the lower CCA FMIC are tube and fin. Ha ha... my civic is even on CCA's site.

I dont know if you want to keep your bumper support. I took mine off to allow mounting for a decent size intercooler

IALuder · 02-15-2006, 08:09 PM

im not losing another lude becuase of that.

JDMFantasy2k · 02-15-2006, 09:32 PM

yeah i still have mine, tight fit, but it fits. I figure unless you're looking for more than 300 hp something like a 6x3x30 should suffice. Plus you could always modify the support a little if you had to.
