JAPSPEED FMIC, ANY GOOD?
 
I may have got one cheap on ebay, just wondering if they are any good?:wonder: It comes with the mikalor clamps which is good i suppose.
Ive done a search and from what i gather the pipework on some kits is better than others.
Any experiences welcome!:thumb:

Ps: its going on a 99 type r if this makes any difference:wonder:

I saw that intercooler too, was a good price!
As far as i know japspeed are just a supplier, so that intercooler could be anything, i did ask him as i was interested, but got no reply. Could be autobahn,hybrid, ect.

I jumped in and 'bought it now' for £150:norty::eek: He just said its from japspeed unsure what make:wonder: I'll get it and let you all know what it fits like :thumb:

I'd be tempted to stick to known brands personally.

If theres anything amiss with the core or it fails physically the only place for the bits to go will be your engine.

I fitted a japspeed FMIC to a mate's car a few weeks ago, the pipework was terrible the worst i have seen. The pipe to the throttle body and the pipe to the turbo were complete the wrong shape along with most of the clips being the wrong size!

:rolleyes: Great! Well its to late now, its on its way. Best case scenario 'it fits and is ok' or worse case it goes back on ebay. Maybe even make a profit!:lol1:

It was the worse case scenario, the intercooler didnt look too bad but the pipe work looked like it had been welded by chimps:mad: Not all bad though, i sold it on for more than i paid for it:norty:

I was going to buy one from them in the next couple of weeks. Will give it a miss I think.

Im getting a hybrid from Harvey now, i dont envisage such proplems with that:)

There should be no problems whatsoever with the Hybrid if it is fitted properly. Hundreds of people have them and we must average fitting one a week so we know all the little foibles you may come across on differing installations.

I have a Hybrid from Harvey, and it fitted 100%, i would say it fitted better than the old autobahn88 kit i use to have.
