QRI05E Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hey guys, I have just finished reading 100 pages on Bar & Plate Vs Tube & Fin and know the pros and cons of each... however I just would like a simple answer to which would be most beneficial and efficient to my power goal... Just would like to know all you professional's advice on which one to use. Engine: RB25DET (R33 S2) Power Goal: 250 - 270rw/kw Car Use: 90% Street 10% Drags Boost Running: 12psi Low and 18-19psi High FMIC kit Options: - CRD Bar & Plate FMIC Kit - CRD Tube & Fin FMIC Kit I wanted to get the Just Jap kit cause i have heard excellent things about them but unfortunately their current piping kits are chrome plated meaning I wont be able to anodise them and the CRD piping kits are polished aluminium. Thanks in advance! Regards, Sarkis Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154231-which-fmic-would-be-best-for-my-application/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBwhatever Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) I believe the cooling pro type 1 kit from just jap is bar & plate. And man they're cheap! $345 can't go wrong.

tmc_2 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) Ive had a bar and plate and adelta fin. I thin th edelta fin is a better item, simillar to tube adn finn as i understand. Now if i could do it over i would get a kit that uses the stock engine bay pipes like the blitz one! , I had this set up on my first and r33, my current r33 has a hybrid style piping route. I believe the blitz style piping keeps air temps cooler. going by the feel of heat on the cooler when u touch it , my first set up like the blitz was noticably cooler to touch than the common hybrid style of piping.

QRI05E Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 A few people i have asked regarding the CRD FMIC kit said they are quite good quality... they are pretty much same as the Just Jap kits... besides for 250 - 270rw/kw and mainly street use there wont be much difference... ill just stick to the tube & fin...

sillylankan Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 one of the guys who runs gktech (same cooler kit, polished aluminium), pm'd me, cos i asked the same question, he says its a catch 22. But he prefers the bar and plate and he uses it on his twos skylines all at 270rwkw.

QRI05E Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 Just got home from CRD and OMG that place is Skyline heaven! Anyways, I ended up buying their tube & fun FMIC kit... they have tested both Bar & Plate Vs Tube & Fin on their cars and they rekon the Tube & Fin had 4 - 5rw/kw advantage due to better flow...
