[EeLeYe]

Hope you turned those pipe clamp bolt heads aroundat the base of the IC.

Yes, I have

anyway update of the cooler, i'm pretty impressed by the performance side of it, and from a distance it looks ok, all i need to do now is mount it on straight and its done,

I didn't need not cut the bar at all to fit it in, but i have a GTR front bar which was orginally designed for a fmic in it.... heres a couple of dodgey pics of it, as i said i need to straighten it up though

[jase-r34]

have you noticed much lag due to the extra piping? cause i was looking at this kit and wondering how much it would effect lag cause the piping has to run all the way back?

Hey guys, just on this issue....

The stealth kit comes with a 600x240x60mm cooler as apposed to a 600x300x76mm one that comes in the conventional style kit (pipes over the engine bay). So wouldn't the smaller cooler core size compensate for any extra piping length???

Correct me if I'm wrong though

And btw I just installed a jjr stealth kit on mine too!

Did you notice much lag Tom with the FMIC?

You could be onto something here.

just installed mine today.

wrong day to do it cause i had a big night last night and have felt like shit all day.

as mentioned before, the quality isnt the best but it looks pretty good. r33 gtst S1 front bar needs no trimming.

ill post pics up soon

i was thinkn about getn one of these just jap stealth ic pretty soon and probably still will, they look pretty good i recon and the fact u dont ahve to cut holes is the main reason i recon theyd b good just wondering though how tom said earlier how there not good for repeated drags serious track cars stuff like that im guessn thats just because of there size? and if the quality of these isnt as good as people have thought they should b what would b a better stealth style fmic? also is there much gain from getn a fmic if atm ive only got 3 inch exhaust n increased the boost to 10 psi? if im goin to do more sooner or later i guess so... good pics by every1 to. catch guys

I have a S2 R33, it came with a AVO Stealth Front Mount (pretty sure its AVO) using stock piping, same as these Just Jap ones. However they needed to remove a very small part from the front bumper. If you are looking at the car from the front, the right hand side pipe that comes off the cooler. So small can only see it when really close up.

Great thing is thats its a black intercooler, so its super stealth. Lots of people ask me "When you going to get a front mount?" which is a great sign for a sleeper look.

not sure of the dimensions of the cooler, looks same size as the Just Jap ones. Not even sure if they still make them, but might be another option for you guys cnsidering the Just jap one.

Hope that helps, cheers

Found a link to an AVO Intercooler, much more expensive than i thought. Good thing i didnt pay for it!!! Seems a bit smaller though.

the only real drama i found with this cooler was the bottom brackets completely off alignment and a fair bit was cut from the reo bar.

another thing on just jap, i would advise against buying the catco cats. the flanges are shithouse and were warped. had to take it to my mate to chop them off and weld new ones on.

just got one meself......awesome threads guys very helpful!!!

what part of this cooler is "stealth"

it's polished silver!!

wouldn't it need to be matte black to be "stealth"?

[SS8_Gohan]

it lets you retain the stock airbox Marcus, as it's a return flow cooler, hence when you pop the bonnet you don't see the crazy piping going everywhere...

although, it is a bit of a misnomer as the core itself will still stand-out... i guess you could say the piping is stealth

I've got one, got leaks with it which make this really bad howling noise but that's probably my fault because i wanted it to be dead straight, level and parallel to the front of the car and THEN connect the piping after. So there's a few funky angles going where pipes join, and we've replaced some of the clamps with better ones which helped initially but i think it's just pushed the leak somewhere else. Nothing a few better clamps can't fix. Good piece of kit overall

i have one, wish i got a trust and modded the return!

^ why? can't see how it would be worth all the hassle

would that be one of the stealth ones by any chance? i'm looking at getting one of these for my car as well.

if it's worth it i'll buy it, so long as it fits well and I don't have to fiddle too much... in any case just give the metal a polish or completely paint it black for uber stealth!

You'll only notice a slight bit of lag compared to your SMIC, since its piping is minimal.

There's no difference in lag between a stealth FMIC and a GT spec FMIC. Some say one set-up may have the slightest improvement over the other but then again, that's debatable.

The main reason you'd buy the stealth set-up is so you don't have to cut any holes into your baby...

and the other most important issue is less heat soak from the radiator....which is why blitz / Arc did it in the first place
