Opinions on this Cupra R Lower Front Mount Intercooler Kit

[EL]

Hi guys,

Had a search about the forum but couldn't see anyone mentioning this piece of kit. Wanted to see what people thought about it by the description or if anyone has actually gone for it?

It is a TX Autosport FMIC from JBI Motorsports - http://tinyurl.com/lunas9

Thanks

I'd also like to know anyones opinion on this as that is quite a reasonable price

 

[Lodgey180]

looks small to me

 

[deedaskrh]

its a more than reasonable price but like ya man said does look abit small

 

[EL]

Thats my main concern, is it too small. I remember a few people talking about a decent size FMIC for the LCR but can't remember the sizes they said and couldn't find the posts

I saw this kit on ebay when I was browsing, looks good, be nice to see what people think who are a bit more knowledgable.
What sort of differences would you see with just fitting a FMIC??

Anyone find out any more regarding that intercooler ?

I rekon it would be a good kit my self on a stage 1 car, would do well, when you get into higher boost levels tho you probaly need a bigger cooler as i dont think it would be effeicent enough.

Too small, there looks like less surface area on that one that htere is on the two OEM SMIC's.
The OEM SMIC's are good enough till you get into higher boost applications of Big Turbo's.
£350 is a hell of a lot of money, you can buy a way bigger universal FMIC for £90.
There are build guides for the universal one on here too

 

[Lodgey180]

people will pick on you for being to small lol

i suppose it would do for a standard car. . anything remapped you woud want bigger imo

but i suppose for £90 you could always use the pipes supplied with this kit and get yourself a bigger one ??

Also pretty suprised at the rating of 375 BHP, TBH this is utter pish.
The Forge LCR one which is 3 x the size of this one is only rated for 350 BHP

im with willie, the stock ones do the job and this would be no improvment on them,

Agreed I'm afraid. It's about time there was a group buy. (With a massive discount ).

 

[Willie]

The prices there offering just now was the GB price from 3 years ago.
So plenty opertunity for more price drops

 

[Ronin225]

This is my next thing really but will have to wait until next year though as funds are tight(maybe a january sale?)
But if a really good deal came up the credit card might take a battering

 

[J0N]

It's my next big thing but definately not until the fat man with the white beard has been. (Unless Forge are feeling especially festive).

yeah im on the same boat. paying an extra £400 odd just for the name isnt appealing to me. if i can get a decent sized one elsewhere for cheaper,id go for that one.

 

[robk2009]

same as i'd be well up for a group buy, if forge did the maths, the amount of people on this forum who would be interested on an amazing price, they would still make a serious amount of money!!!!
