I recently purchased a Greddy front mount intercooler and was wondering what are your opinions on it. greddy states that i need an intake that is of their company. is this true? i really don't like the way that intake looks. also do i have to close the hood scoop if i get an intake (so i don't get water in there)?

 

you didnt research all of this before you bought it?

 

NOPE.

 

not familiar with the greddy too much. i'm sure you can use another manufacturers intake...probably any short ram intake im guessing.

i have never heard of anyone closing up their hood scoop after installing a FMIC. leave it open and let it help to cool the engine. some people have been switching over to this hood scoop, looks pretty cool i guess.

 

first of all, a lot of people will tell you brand X FMIC won't work with any intake but theirs. I just installed an APS Type R FMIC that even Cobb Tuning said wouldn't fit with my AEM CAI. Guess what? It fits. Wasn't even difficult. Check to see where the piping runs for the Greddy. Bear in mind with solid piping, you don't have much if any "give".

i have greddy fmic and blitz sus intake.

 

the greddy requires a short ram intake so others may fit, but none are guaranteed except for the greddy airinx.

whats wrong with the airinx kit that makes you not want it?

did you get the V-SPL core or R-SPL?

 

does ne1 have a pic of their engine bay with the intercooler installed? i need to know where they put the engine coolant resevoir. also the engine seems a little rough at idle. does ne1 have ne comments?

 

the coolant resevoir will need to be relocated. you can check out my engine bay pix at members showcase in the gallery forum under my screen name.

I have the 2002 EJ20 swap w/ the Greddy R-spl FMIC.

 

but where?? can ne1 please post a clear pic on this?? thanx
