FMIC: Perrin vs Japspeed
Im going to be buying an FMIC soon, i want to try and keep costs down but quality up. I have looked at these 2 intercoolers and there is not a lot of difference between the 2 apart from price. Japspeed £299 delivered and the Perrin £1600 delivered. With the perrin am i just paying for the name or is it really as good as it says? Im in no way going to exceed 600bhp so the bhp handeling of the 2 is not a problem. has any body had any expereance of the 2 or any charge temp figures?
Here is a list of features between the 2.
JAPSPEED
* Bar and plate intercooler 25x9x3.5 Inch.
* 3 Inch inlet and 3 Inch outlet.
* High flowing hand made end tanks.
* Fully TIG welded.
* Polished aluminium pipework.
* All necessary clamps and silicone hoses.
* Maximum cooling capacity while allowing for minimal pressure drops.
* 1050cfm @ 0.5 psi drop.
* Capable of handling up to 600BHP.
PERRIN
* Bar and plate intercooler 28x9.25x3.5 Inch.
* 2.25 Inch inlet and 2.75 Inch outlet.
* High flowing hand made end tanks.
* Fully TIG welded.
* Aluminium pipework.
* All necessary clamps and silicone hoses
* 1/4 psi drop across the core at 20 psi
* A volume of 906.5 cu-in
* Capable of more then 1000BHP
Cheers,
Mike.

you might be able to just fabricate a coolant bottle its quite simple as it only has one hole in the top and the original coolant cap goes over to the new one

Hi guys, thanks for all your replys, been doping a bit of reading and now my heart is telling me to go for the Perrin cooler as I see alot of people have gone for it and had great results. Tbh I would prefer to spend a bit more for security and the Perrin has proven results.
Thanks again.
Mike.

@bodski
the reason for this is that the instrcutions are for americanos
if you look at Page 3 section 17) you will see in the pic that the coolant bottle is situated on the drivers side and not the passenger side as with uk cars
http://www.perrinperformance.com/pro...ory=39&model=2
perrin have never issued uk instructions and probably wont
but i would think about getting in contact perrin them ask for ADAM
and he should be able to sort you out on the coolant bottle
hope this helps
