any experience with godspeed intercooler?

I have a chance to get one of theses for around 200$, its not the kit for the rx but I can get the fmic and 2x the piping. My question is rather or not I should take it. Here's the link to the exact one. http://www.godspeedproject.com/store...oducts_id=1440

So you're saying you can get an intercooler for an RSX for $200?

Did you know you can get those 24" x 12" x 3" intercoolers for $100 brand new off eBay?

This is true, but, most of the AL that I've bought off ebizzle has been really shitty alloy, not tough to weld, just cheap and dirty. Also, most of the cheap intercoolers that I've seen from ebay don't have turbulators and aren't as effeicient as a decent name brand intercooler. Plus the pressure drop across. The core was ridiculous.

I recall a heated debate over this on the evil forum in the 3rd gen section. Someone actually got all the equipment to properly test the cores and found out just those facts. I believe the godspeed intercoolers were cheap for a reason

There is also a reason you can buy a Godspeed GT35R for 400$ new. Not something i'd want on my car.

Got it thanks guys my friend had. Decided not to turbo his car so I got first call on any thing I wanted.

FWIW though, I've been running over 400whp through a godspeed intercooler for quite a while. (over 2 years, plenty of road miles - lost count)

I'm sure a better more effcient core would maximize my cooling, probably gain a bit of power - or on the other side, a smaller more effcient core cuold gain response - but has it worked? Oh yes. Was it cheap - you bet.

godspeed is china junk. as long as you know its not going to fit well and its not going to perform the best then get it. it is real cheap so if you a baller on a budget then its all good

I'm. Going to help him do new injectors a fuel pump and a battery relocation and he said he might just give it to me for helping, so I might as well try it
