Intercooler

I want to get a FMIC for my 2G Eclipse Gst. I want to get it of eaby. Any objections and problems

nope ebay intercooler cores can work fine. Youll probably just have to do soem small custom work to mount them. Then of course make your own piping. But they work good.

This is what i was thinking of

Its the price that sketches me out. But if it works well then what the hell lol

that will work, i was actually looking at that

Damn now i really want it. But ive got the t28, what would i have to do to make that work? just rig up my own Lower IC pipe?

Soemthin aint right there.. i mean.. the BOV alone is more than half that.

There is only 1 eBay intercooler company that i trust... and they are: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2G-DSM-FMIC-Intercooler-kit-gsx-tsi-talon-eclipse-gst_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33742QQihZ013QQitemZ230063004131QQrdZ1

That's who I got mine from also. They are Extreme Turbo Systems. I don't like the setup you posted BM. If that's everything that you see, then they are missing a bunch of piping. Also, there was someone that bought one of these and they had to hack up the front end a bit. Not to mention the bumper bar has to be removed or cut up to allow this honker in there.
One more thing, there is such a thing as too much
Until you get a new turbo, this thing is a pressure dropper for a small turbo. This is for something like a 20G and bigger

I dont like that kit at all.. they are just TOO cheap to be 100% legit. I also dont lke the ridgedness of it... dosent look like it flows all that good either. Looks like its missing some piping too.

Not to mention their no return policy... i smell BS

what about the one i posted?

Just as bad....

yea i really want the 7" one from Extremeintercoolers but im just trying to see if there is a cheap alternative

the DejonPowerhouse intercooler is a cheaper alternative at $499 you get a quality product for a very very fair price.

BTW i was looking for a FMIC not a side mount. But im not really sure to lean with all this.

no one said anything about a sidemount

from sebba's all i could find was side

go to www.dejonpowerhouse.com
Click DSM
Then over on the right, click the 12th thing down, which is the 3rd thing in the 2nd gen section. it says Frontmount IC & pipes. and its the first item listed

OK let me clarify what i think about ebay intercoolers. I said that the cores are good. Thats means just the intercooler. I would never trust any piping, which from both posted, i dont trust. And i would never trust that the hardware would be good. Because sebba, obviously it is not a real greddy type-rs. It is a cheap knockoff and the couplings and the hoses look like **** too. Then getting it to mount correctly will probably be a custom job as well. And the $500 core that they sell on dejon you could get on ebay cheaper and it would still do the trick. But it really is up to you which you want.

I agree with you. I have an import tuner magazine that has an article about knock offs and it had a pic of a greddy type rs with the knock off next to it and the knock off they took of the top and was some rubber o-rind type deal and it was torn and ripped but the greddy was still in perfect condition. I also heard some pretty bad things about the cores from some people that work on my car

well right now NESpeed on here has an rx-7 that has a single to4r turbo and he is running a $200 ebay FMIC and he made his own piping and it works fine.

Howcostly would be making my own downpiping

well depending on the size of the intercooler you could probably use the upper part of the UIP with the BOV flange on it so that will help. Do do the rest its basically knowing the bends that you need (which you have to figure out yourself) and the couplings for each connection. I dont think you would need more than another 1-200. But thats just speculation since i havnt done one on your car and dont know what bends you need.

Dude they sell the whole intercooler kit on Dejon fool... not just the core.
