RJC knock-off intercoolers. Anyone using them?

[sackracing]

Full throttle sells them and they are all over Ebay. I think GN1Performance sells them. Anyone use them? Any feedback?

Got the message. They are not good. I need to swap my precision out for something with the elbows on the intercooler so I can gain some ground clearance.

Weld elbows on and cut off pipes and roll new beads on or go to a v band clamp. No one has proven they are not good to my knowledge.

I've spent enough on pipes to buy a new intercooler. I have the stuff to fab up elbows on the Precision, but I need new pipes to cut off and that's another 250 bucks.

Precision intercoolers are great quality and bring in good money, I'd leave the piping alone and sell it off to get what you want. It wouldn't be worth much anymore if you start cutting and welding with it.

I personally think RJC sells the best ones as far as quality but im sure the others work perfectly fine.

No, I don't think you did.

 

[daturbosix]

does anyone make a knock off of RJC's monster IC475?

 

[S2V6RACER]

I wonder if the RJC mass e-mailer went out again.


I would give Mike a call at Full throttle and see what he thinks about the intercooler(s) as far as fitment ect. I think he's been in the business long enough to know the answers to this one.

We all know "all the data" as far as efficiency is going to be asking a lot from any intercooler manufacture.

I've had both Precsion and GN-1 the charge air temp was lower with the GN-1

 

[sackracing]

I've heard rumor that they were the same intercooler...

What about passing off other people's product designs as his own?

I've had an "RJC" style boost controller on my Buick since 2002.

You guys might want to be careful where you start pointing fingers and start making claims about who stole what from who; and then conducting a witch hunt.

Right... thanks. I couldn't find the link but I am sure the point is now made. :biggrin:

these are basic the same but you dont have to take the hose off everytime you want to change the boost. i have the duel boost one,,,,, he sent me alot of the diff springs where i can get the boost as low as i need to .. where i can run the heads up classes.

 

[tonysmach]

The GN1 that Full Throttle or TR Customs sells fits without any issues. I have been told that the GN1 flows very very well. I installed one on my car but won't be able to test it until weather breaks.

OMG! That looks like the Hi-Boost solenoid from FTS on the dual setup... I wonder if it too is an off the shelf part? :biggrin:
