I wouldn't pay over $250.. Have seen one at $170 a couple of weeks ago and one fro $220 a week before that..(In SAU classifieds)

If it's for a 32 it makes more sense to pay $250-$350 for an ARC replacement as the 34 unit srequire modding

I am probably fitting an FMIC in the next few months. If/when I do mine will be up for sale. Keep your eyes peeled on the forums.

Hi Nightcrawler,

how soon are u going to get FMIC?

and wat kinda price are u after for ur stockie?

yeah I am keen to know why too Bob. I changed my cooler on my S15 with standard turbo, and it allowed for heaps of extra timing and leaning out of fuel.

ZXFIRE - I hope to change it within a month - have just ordered my cooler kit. Will be looking for the normal price around town - I would think around $200 plus delivery. I am in SA.

I pretty much agree regarding changing the cooler for the stock turbo. The stock turbo doesn't really like being over 10psi for very long. At this boost, the stock intercooler is OK. That is, it's not great, but it's not too restrictive. I measured a 1.5 psi drop.

Basically, what he's saying is that some people just change the exhaust cooler, etc and stop there. It's not really worth it, like you spend 1k on intercooler. At that boost, it might only give you a few extra kw, like what's 10 kw?

When you get to a/m turbos and run 1.3 bar or something, that's when the stock cooler would be terrible.

ive got abo bobs old 34 cooler on my car.

the seat of the pants feel was similar to the difference between driving it on a hot day compared to a cool night.

as for the cooler being taller. you can only just stretch (in want for a better word) the plastic inner guard around the 34 cooler to fit. albeit with a bit of manipulation
