johnny racecar's fmic, who has one?

[Parsalian05]

so would it be a pretty safe assumption that this intercooler is a good upgrade for a b16g with, at most, 650's and pump gas? (for the price, im poor)

you know it's wierd, the cores on his website are very different from the cores in his auction. Different cores entirly.

I bought one from jr and am running Your same quoted setup . I want a bigger one now
It really does well but you can look inside it through the intake and output and see how much of a restriction it really is . Deffinetly go bigger ,at least a 10 inch by 3 inch thick, If you can. I am poor to and jumped at the chance when I saw the kit . Now I have to buy another core for 500.00 . My advise is to save some more money and buy the short route piping seperatly and then get a bigger core .

I went to the website listed in the auction, he said it was his website, did I miss some thing?

 

[burldude]

Just curious but how are you determining that you need a bigger core? Are you heat soaking? getting a lot of knock? are the outlet pipes scorching hot?

For one, my cfm requirments have gone up . I also am in California where I can only get 91 octane for the street . At 15 psi I have to run extremely rich in order to bring the knock count down to 0. So I am going to need more cooling than I presently have to help. More surface area and less restriction are what I am after I will have to check my inlet and outlet tube tonight with an Ir thermometer.

Apparently you did.

aqre you always this pleasant?

This guys name is JR, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33742&item=7923801400&rd=1

This guys name is Tyrus, his company is Johnny Race Car or JRC http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33742&item=7922039462

Two different people.

Anyway, I think I had some thing crosswired from another thread, I thought some one made reference to the v8 powered nissan when they were talking about jr's coolers. However, I have heard nothing but good things about jrc's coolers, run a search there was a topic on them last week er sumpin.


Any way their prices are competetive to jr's, and they offer a MUCH nicer core IMHO

I will be picking one of these up at the end of next month.

No, im not going to the dyno, are you? Let me know how your install goes, I wont get mine in until maybe friday because i bought it saturday afternoon. Where do you plan on getting your pipes for the ic? Im going to do what gregforstgst did and make a trip to home depot for the pipes I dont care if its getto you wont see it anyways

It seems like for people looking for something efficient on a 14b, 16g, maybe even a 20g, the JR intercooler might do the job. If you're looking at a FP3065 or getting into serious turbos, you may want to invest a few hundred more (not a few dollars more, as 14.5 was saying

I must respectfully disagree

Now what? You're repeating back to me what I'm trying to explain? Brilliant aren't you

Just drop it. This thread is about johnnyracecar intercoolers. Like I said before, you want to praise Extreme Turbo Systems (JR) intercoolers, make a new thread.

What is your problem dude? Youve got alot of ####ing nerve to cop such an attitude, because I bump heads with some one on one day doesn't mean I am going to try an avoid them, I will post where I want, and I think that I am still confused about this.


Let me get this straight though, I found 2 intercoolers, both priced nearly the same, both nearly the same efficiency, accept one is able to support 600hp, and the other is barely able to support 350, and you are telling me to get out because you want to buy the 350 hp intercooler?

Your not a very smart person are you? i think it's kind of laid out for you but you just want to argue about it any ways. You remind me of this bi*** I know that is a serious drama queen and needs to get over herself.

ok lets keep this civil or it will be closed.

Back on the tube IC note, I was looking at the HKS "track attack" altezza the other night. For those that don't know it's a full tube frame, carbon fiber body, F1 style suspension, $300k race car HKS made. 600hp at 24psi, tube and fin IC, moderatly sized core. So much for tube and fin cores being a large restriction.

You're really just a sad person. I'm going back and deleting all my responses to your pointless one sided arguing. Keep up with the personal attacks, it's about the only thing you contributed to this thread through out the ENTIRE 4 pages.

They are not a large restriction, but by comparison an equally sized alternative (bar/plat extruded tube) outflows tube and fin considerably

I bought the core shown in the original link for this forum. The Johnny racecar 25x7.75x2.75.

I havent had the chance to install it yet but Im really excited. Just came today this core looks amazing. the tubes are very large and the pictures looking inside the pipes do this core no justice. Yes there are many internal fins but there not as packed together as the picture from the auction shows. The welds are all perfect and this thing is very shiny, almost chrome like. Tyrus from johnny racecar.com was very helpful and got back to me fast with questions. Id say this core looks just as good if not better then some of the bigger names out there. Just my 2 cents. im installing it this weekend, so ill get back to ya with some performance info

 

[98spydert]

Thanks for some real experiance man, looking forward to hearing your review

Seeing how few ppl have actual performance numbers on these things, my friend and I are going to run the piping and have it working before doing any other mods. My other plans including a 16G but I will wait until I can go back to the track and see if it's an improvement over the stock sidemount.

We (well yo2001 did all the work) got the IC mounted. I definately wish I'd gone bigger or w/ a Top/bottom complete kit, but live & learn. I don't plan on going bigger than 16G, but I wish I'd gotten more IC, but I was too worried about the pressure drop on my tired 14b.

awe, it's so cute













Just messin

 

[CanadianTSi]

dude, it's a different core

They look pretty much identicle, minus the mounting hardware.

And for real world performance...I run a JR FMIC kit on my car and the first time out I trapped 110 mph on an Evo 3 and pump gas, so I think it worsk pretty good.

This is the company I bought my fmic from. They supply jdm parts and are also a yonaka motorsports dealer.

I have the 24/12/3 fmic. It's bar and plate and it looks just beautifull.

Not much of a preasure drop considering the size , and it really didnt hurt my spool up at all .

Im not trying to hijack but only trying to add an alternative.

What are the dimensions of that IC?

I'm sorry if I misslead you. I never intended to take any thing away from your cooler or it's performance, I am glad it is working for you and hope others who purchase have no less success. I am sure it is a very competant cooler for a tube and fin, and it looks to be of good quality



I think that all i have said is it would not be the intercooler of choice for me, I really hope that does not offend any one, nor does it mean it deams all products I choose not to purchase incompetant. But for reasons brought up time and again, a different kind of cooler will better suite my own applications.



I hope one day we all can have a laugh about this thread (you know who you are







:laugh:

 

[1997gstterror]

The ic shown on the front of that 1g is not a johnny racecar ic that we have been talking about. It looks more like the JR ic sold on ebay. You can see by the fact that that ic looks to be bar and plate and its defanetly not 30 inches long.

We need to get this straight. The forum is about JOHNNY RACECAR INTERCOOLERS, Not the ebay seller known as "jr" with the turbo 350 motor in a 300zx.

 

[98spydert]

Oh trust me, I laugh every time you post :laugh:

Now, I'm not trying to start anything by saying this but what "cooler would better suit your application"? You mentioned the theoretical 600hp capacity of that other I/C, but unless you're profile is severely out dated, you're running a hacked up stock car. Nothing wrong with free mods, but the T-25 isn't going to benifit from ANY worthwhile FMIC I can think of.
AGAIN, I'm not messing with you [this time] , I'm just wondering where the hell you're coming from with all of these opinions.
